ASAP. If you, a friend or neighbor are interested in having A-HEET air
seal your home please contact us. As a reminder, homeowners pay for
materials (usually less than $500), have coffee and food for volunteers
in the morning and pizza in the afternoon. The last two homes we worked
on reduced air-infiltration by 30% and 29% respectively – a huge energy
savings and increase in comfort. </span><a href="http://arlingtonheet.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">http://arlingtonheet.org/</span></a><br>

damper isn’t closing well (possibly not at all), your chimney can be a
huge highway for heat loss out of your home all winter. Here are
several ways to seal it inexpensively:</span><ul><li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 24pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

inflate inside the flue to seal it off. When you want to have a fire,
you deflate the balloon and pull it out. After the fire, when the flue
is cool again, you reinstall the balloon. Cost @ $50 depending on the
width of flue.</span></li><li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 24pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A properly sized beach ball jammed up inside
the flue and inflated with a hand pump will do the same thing as a
fireplace balloon. It’s a lot cheaper, but you should tape a string
onto the ball with a note that hangs down so an unknowing guest in your
home (when crouching down to light the fire) will know to deflate the
ball first. Cost @ $3.</span></li><li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 24pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

the fireplace opening where the plywood touches the masonry to create an
air-seal (make sure it’s far enough out of the fireplace the tape won’t
catch on fire when you have a fire). When you want to have a fire, you
pull out the plywood/insulation plug. When the fire is done and the
fireplace cool, you push it back in place. You can paint a nice scene
on the plywood and varnish it.
