Here’s what you can expect to pay in Vancouver:
Throat damper replacement: $400-$900 for standard fireplace dampers installed at the firebox
Top-sealing dampers: $500-$1,200 for dampers installed at the chimney top with cable operation
Lock-top dampers (premium): $800-$1,500 for high-quality top-sealing systems with lifetime warranties
Commercial/oversized dampers: $1,000-$2,500 for large or custom applications
We remove the old damper (if present) and clean the damper seat area thoroughly.
We measure precisely to ensure proper fit and seal.
We install the new damper, ensuring it sits level and seals completely when closed.
We attach the operating handle and verify smooth operation.
We test the seal and show you how to operate it properly.
We measure your chimney flue opening and select the correct damper size.
We install the damper unit at the chimney top, securing it properly to the flue.
We run the stainless steel cable down through the flue to the firebox.
We install the operating handle at a convenient location near the fireplace.
We adjust cable tension and verify smooth operation and complete sealing.
Located above the firebox, throat dampers are standard in most fireplaces. We install heavy-duty cast iron or stainless steel models that seal well and operate smoothly. Affordable and traditional, but less energy-efficient, can rust, and harder to use.
Top-mounted chimney damper with fireplace handle control creates an airtight seal. Pros: Energy efficient, animal-proof, easy operation, durable. Cons: Higher upfront cost, needs annual cable inspection.
High-quality top-sealing dampers with spring-loaded design and lifetime warranty. Best for energy savings. Pros: excellent seal, durable, easy operation. Cons: highest cost.
For unusual chimney sizes or commercial applications, we fabricate custom dampers to fit your specific needs.
An open or poorly sealing damper is like leaving a window open 24/7. Heated air escapes in winter, and cooled air escapes in summer. A quality damper can save 10-20% on heating costs.
Dampers let you control airflow to your fireplace, improving fire performance and preventing smoking.
Closed dampers stop cold air from blowing down your chimney, eliminating uncomfortable drafts.
Top-sealing dampers prevent birds, squirrels, and other animals from entering your chimney when it’s not in use.
Sealing your chimney prevents musty odors from entering your home during humid weather.
Dampers keep rain, snow, and debris out of your chimney and fireplace.
