Product Information

However, when looking at installing one, the instructions say that the stove should not be plugged in directly behind the stove/ fireplace as it needs to be accessible to be switched off in an emergency. It effectively guards against cold air coming in and heat escaping into the atmosphere while you’re fast asleep. Failing to remove the draft stopper prevents smoke and flames from exiting the home and could cause serious danger.

Bought one of these to stop draughts on a fireplace where we needed to get an old gas fire disconnected. State, provincial, and local laws may impact the services this independently owned and operated franchise location may perform at this time. Use a fireplace draft stopper if you notice that cool air (or warm air in the summer) is getting into your home through your fireplace.

Its exquisite design is complemented by advanced safety features, including automatic stop heating, a timer, a remote control, and a built-in safety thermal circuit breaker.If you have screen doors or an insert built into your fireplace, the vents along the top and/or bottom of the frame are known to leak up a storm.

Hi there, ive recently bought an electric fireplace but there is no socket behind it to switch it on. The most common forms of draft stoppers are a balloon that is inflated in the flue or a cover of the fireplace,” says Dimmitt. Was going to use double socket maybe or single(will power tv also and Firestick) I know all the issues about burying connections behind plasterboard.Chimneys often allow cold drafts into your living space in the winter and hot, humid air in the summer that you are paying to air condition.

As a result, these fireplaces produce smoke, also releasing gases harmful to health such as carbon monoxide.

You will need an electric wall socket nearby to where you wish to install the fireplace, or, you have a mains power cable that you can wire the fireplace insert directly into. The first is warm air rises, and if you have paid to heat that air—such as in the winter—that will negatively impact your heating bill. With that said, you still need to make sure that the fireplace has enough space on all sides to enable proper air circulation and to prevent it from overheating.

We’ve also got extra extension rods to ensure your Chimney Sheep® fits well if placed high in the chimney flue.
