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.
The Fireplace Heatsaver will benefit you by:
- 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
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 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 image below).
