We
all appreciate a cosy fire warming our sitting room. Unfortunately the
chimney that
takes the smoke and fumes away continues to operate when the fire
goes out or is turned off. This can soon make the sitting room one of
the
coldest rooms in the house as the
chimney
extracts the warm air and
draws in cold draughts.
Most
people want to keep their fireplaces and use their fires at times.
The lightweight,
transparent
Fireplace Heatsaver was designed to
allow householders to block up their chimneys when they are not in use
and can be used as an alternative to the Chimney Balloon (chimney
pillow).
Seven good reasons to buy a Fireplace Heatsaver
- Preventing heat loss
up the chimney,
- Paying for itself by
cutting your heating bills,
- Retaining warmth in
your home,
reducing draughts,
- Preventing
downdraughts from your
chimney,
- Maintained the focal
feature of your fireplace,
- Simple to fit, in
seconds, without tools,
- Easy to remove,
without mess, if you want to use your fire
Bonus reason: The Fireplace Heatsaver now comes with a
free base stand to give it greater
stability if you have a strong draught coming down the chimney.
The BSRIA (the leading test
house for chimney products in the UK) assessed the Fireplace
Heatsaver for a typical house based on the Government's SAP Energy
rating. The results demonstrated that savings per chimney could be
achieved as follows:
- Energy
saving of up to 3,066 kilowatt hours per annum
- CO2 savings of
up to 0.583 tonnes per annum
- Hourly air loss
reduced from
40.0 cubic metres per hour to 5.2
This
product is still new to the market so if you have a flue or chimney and
you're really
interested in saving
money, reducing draughts, making your home warmer and reducing CO2
emissions, then the Fireplace Heatsaver is for you.
The standard Fireplace Heatsaver is suitable for the majority of real
fires or fuel effect gas fires and comes in a standard internal size of
660 x 630mm, to fit most fireplaces. Simply measure your fireplace and
ensure it has height and width
measurements smaller than those of the Fireplace Heatsaver (see below).
