Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is going.
An open damper can let 8 percent of the heat in your home escape. In the summer, cool air escapes. That can add up to about $100 a year—up the chimney.
If your damper leaks air when closed, as (particularly in older homes), consider having a chimney-top damper installed. It provides an airtight seal and can pay for itself in just a few years.
