What is a chimney balloon?

A chimney balloon is an clear poly balloon that is inflated into the fireplace flue to stop air currents from entering the home through the chimney. The reason most people put in a chimney balloon is to stop drafts, chimney smells or bats from coming inside through the fireplace. Some HVAC contractors use them to plug unused vents or ducts. Chimney balloons are manufactured in England, but sold through international distributors and representatives in North America, Australia, and Europe. The Fireplace Plug, made in USA, provides a similar chimney seal. However the Fireplace Plug is made of a durable black material and installed under the damper and held up with a telescoping pole. This enables the plug to be installed easily and cleanly, rather than up inside the dirty, sooty chimney. The Fireplace Plug is sold through distributors such as Home Depot and on-line from Battic Door Energy www.batticdoor.com.
