Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

All about chimney balloons
Just like Chimney brushes, Chimney balloons also perform a number of important functions in the maintenance of Home chimneys. Chimney balloons plug the home fireplace flue much better than chimney dampers, and as such balloons can warm your place much better. Chimney balloons will save you more money in the long run because they conserve energy much better, and while such balloons can help stop heat losses, they can also help in preventing cold drafts .

Chimney balloon kits- the perfect way to maintain your chimney balloons
The Chimney balloon kits are designed to stop any form of down drafts or up drafts as well as save you more money by cutting your energy usage. The balloon kits have the following list of features
  • Original balloon kits are very safe; they are designed to deflate easily and safely especially when fire is lighted under them.
  • Installation is quite easy and straight-forward. Simply inflate the kits to install or deflate them and store. The kits are quite reusable for several years.
  • The kits come with a mouth inflation tube which is needed for the installation of the balloons.
  • Chimney balloon kits come with instructional manual.
  • The kits will prevent valuable heat from moving up through the chimney.
  • The kits can help stop the accumulation of debris, and soot.
Since there are several types of Chimney, there is no single rule for the positioning of the balloon, however experts suggest that you consider setting it up at the lowest place where there are no two parallel walls that can force the balloon to grip especially after being inflated.

Using Chimney balloons
Chimney balloons, also known as Chimney pillows are the most effective ways of preventing heat and cold from getting up your chimney. You need to understand that your Chimney fire Flues are made from metal, and the repeated heating and cooling of such metal over a long period of time can cause them to break and that will lead to the loss of essential heat or cold. Inflatable balloons have been designed to fit perfectly underneath your fireplace flue especially during the periods when they are not needed. The balloons are normally made from durable plastic materials that possess several layers, and such can be re-used several times.

In case you forget to remove the Chimney Balloons just before you light the fire, the balloon will automatically deflate itself within few seconds after coming in contact with the heat. According to the manufacturers of heating balloons, an average household can be saved up to $400 in heating bills through the use of Chimney balloons, and you can save more if your Chimney flue has been warped. The effectiveness of your Chimney Balloons will also depend on other factors such as the position of the balloons, and the frequency of usage of the Chimney. It is ideal to keep the Chimney Balloons out of the Chimney when the fireplace is not in use.
