About this deal

One of the central themes in it is reducing waste – the suggestions I make are affordable and could save you money! In this article, we'll go over why you shouldn't rely on chimney balloons to help you with your chimney problems.

If you find yourself fixing your drafty chimney with a balloon, for the time being, do some planning and prepare to have your fireplace professionally serviced. But, they're always on the lookout for viable solutions and will choose the best available option to reuse/ recycle the fibres.The Chimney Balloon effectively blocks the chimney, stopping warm air from escaping and stopping cold air from getting in. However, while they were easy to use, these widely-used inflatables don’t actually perform well in preventing air leaks and helping you maximise your home heating and cooling! It's not the right answer for a long term reduction in those high heating and cooling bills while keeping that center of so many family memories readily usable.

If you light a fire with the Chimney Sheep in place, the fire will smoulder and not draw properly, and it’s fire retardant so it won’t burst into flames, which is fine with an open fire but to be honest the Chimney Balloon is a safer bet for gas fires. The Chimney Balloon is then inflated using either an Inflation Tube, an electric pump or manual pump (detailed instructions are provided). The Chimney Balloon allows you to conserve energy in your home by stopping down draughts and up draughts in your fireplace, while also stopping debris, soot and bird mess.Most flues are round, so inflating a balloon will comfortably fit and become an effective draught blocker.

The Chimney Balloon is made from plastic, and is designed to be inflated, using a pump or by blowing into a pipe, to fill the chimney and prevent cold air from coming in and warm air from travelling up and out.I picked up some bags of loft insulation from freecycle so that seemed like a good and free solution. There are also felt and wool flue blockers that are perhaps easier to install as you merely push them into place (no tiresome inflating).

We do offer a bespoke Chimmey Sheep® service, so please get in touch with your chimney dimensions and we'll be able to provide you with a quote. I’m still fighting the moth that got into my house after birds fell down the chimneys, died, and were then devoured by the moth. The Chimney Balloon saves on energy bills by preventing valuable heat from going straight up the chimney. OK – we could not help ourselves… here is a fourth reasons… And isn’t there enough plastic in the world already? A Chimney Sheep® is a removable chimney draught excluder made from highly durable, naturally breathable Herdwick wool.There's actually a handy how-to video and a useful installation guide you can take a peek at if you need a little bit more guidance. This is why draught-proofing a chimney is imperative in ensuring that your indoor heating sits at a comfortable level. We don’t always notice the warm air escaping, but as the air disappears up the chimney it needs to be replaced, so it pulls in cold air from around doors and windows, through floorboards, and even right through walls. While they're cleaning it, the technician can also inspect the chimney and make recommendations on necessary services like repairing a leaking flue. Measuring 1000mm long x 300mm wide and 100mm thick, a Chimney Draught Stopper is easily trimmed to shape and be inserted into the throat of your chimney.
