- Always keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use. An open damper is like an open window, letting warm indoor air escape and letting cold air—and maybe even Santa—right in.
- Consider installing a fireplace insert, which improves heat output by circulating warm air into the room rather than letting it escape up the chimney.
- Burn only seasoned hardwood to ensure a hotter, cleaner burn. Regularly clean and inspect your chimney to maintain safe and efficient operation.
