Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

A chimney cap does more than keep curious birds and squirrels from making your fireplace their home. The metal cover also helps keep rain and snow out of the chimney, protecting the flue liner, damper and masonry from moisture that can lead to costly repairs over time. Another bonus: a chimney cap can reduce wind-driven downdrafts, helping prevent cold air from blowing into your home through the fireplace. While it's not a major energy-saving upgrade, it's an inexpensive investment that helps protect your chimney and improve its performance year-round.
