Chimney caps

A chimney cap is an essential component of any fireplace or wood stove. It protects your home from sparks, embers, and other hazards associated with burning wood or other fuels. Installing a chimney cap in homes across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware provides greater peace of mind, ensuring your family and property are safeguarded from potential fire damage and other risks.

What Are the Benefits of a Chimney Cap?

There are several benefits to investing in a chimney cap for your home. Here are some of the top reasons to install a chimney cap:

• Saved money

When the weather turns chilly or snowy, we love to get warm and cozy. Without a chimney cap, however, staying warm can be challenging. Cold and windy conditions can cause downdrafts, affecting your home's temperature and causing your energy bills to rise.

• Prevents Fires

Chimney caps help control sparks and prevent fires. This protection works in two ways: the chimney cap keeps embers from blowing down the chimney into your home and prevents embers from escaping up and out of the chimney onto the roof, reducing the risk of a roof fire.

• Reduces Moisture

When you have an uncapped chimney and it rains, increased moisture in the house is inevitable. Excess water in your chimney can lead to issues such as damage to chimney liners, dampers, and mortar joints.

• Keeps Animals Out

Sure, some neighborhood critters can be cute, but it’s all fun and games until you find a raccoon or squirrel in your chimney. While you might wonder if animals would be attracted to the billowing smoke, the dark, warm environment is highly appealing to them.
