Are you looking to save hundreds of dollars in lost energy costs each year? Hey, who isn't. Finally an affordable solution to a familiar problem. Enter the Draft Eliminator. The Draft Eliminator is an inflatable draft stopper that prevents energy from being taken from your home. The average home owner loses over $400 annually in energy costs. Whether it be warm air in the winter or cool air in the summer, the Draft Eliminator is a cheap solution to an expensive problem. Chimney drafts are generally caused by a broken, warped, or missing damper. A chimney damper is made of metal and "seals" against a metal frame creating a not so air tight seal to begin with. Frequent heating and cooling causes the damper to warp or break over time. This breaks the seal even more allowing the heated air in winter or cooled air in summer to escape through your flue. In some cases just the opposite happens and outside air will come down the flue and enter the home.
The Draft Eliminator stops this heat loss by acting as a plug. By inserting the Draft Eliminator you seal the opening and insulate it with air which is one of the best types of insulation available. This wonderful product has been saving families hundreds of dollars for over 15 years. Each Draft Eliminator comes with a 10" valve handle and an attachable 25" flex tube for inflation. If this isn't enough length for you, we offer an optional handle extender kit. This will add an additional 16" and is highly recommended if you have a damper that is high up in your chimney (see Sizing Instructions for details). If your looking for a more permanent fixture then come see our extensive selection of Top Sealing Dampers.
Product Note: Sizing for a Draft Eliminator is quick and easy. The actual size of the Draft Eliminator does not reflect on the size of your chimney. Make sure that you properly follow the sizing instructions before ordering. The most common reason for return is ordering the wrong size. See Sizing Instructions.
