Description:
Battic Door Energy Conservation Products introduces the Fireplace Plug For Energy Star Home and Green Building Contractors.
The Large Fireplace Plug Draft Stopper is an inflatable urethane pillow measuring 38" x 16". It is quickly and easily installed in the fireplace just below the damper level.
The Draft Stopper can be adapted to work in almost all fireplaces. Even if you have an unusual construction, the Draft Stopper can be successfully installed in less than 2 minutes.
The Draftstopper is provided with 5 "slittable" areas that can be cut to provide an opening for a damper handle. As the Draftstopper is inflated it seals around the damper handle sealing the opening!
Stop valuable warm air from leaving your home and minizing drafts from your fireplace.
Some heating experts claim that an unlit fireplace with a damper open can increase heating costs by as much as 30 percent. Now that could add up to $500 over the course of a season.
Well, here's a solution that's relatively inexpensive, easy to install and pretty much invisible.
Available Factory Direct by mail order.

Battic Door Energy Conservation Products manufactures and distributes low-cost, high-value, energy conservation products for the SIX largest overlooked "holes" in the house:
The pull-down attic stairs, the whole house fan and A/C return, the fireplace, the clothes dryer exhaust duct, the bathroom exhaust fan duct, and the attic access door hatch.
By sealing these "holes", air leaks, cold drafts, and wasted energy are reduced. The products work year 'round by reducing cold drafts and heat loss in the winter, as well as air-conditioning loss in the summer.
The products conserve energy, lower your utility bills, reduce noise and pollutants, improve indoor air quality, reduce the chance of ice dams and attic mold, and improve the comfort of your home.

Are any hazardous chemicals created, used, or released during the manufacture of the product which must be reported under the State Right to Know Act (SARA), Section 313 via the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)? (The absence of hazardous chemicals or air pollutants in manufacture is laudable. However the presence of such hazards is not a simple indicator of environmental impact. Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html) |
