About this deal

So when I could feel a cold draft in our family room it didn’t take long to track down the source of it – our chimney.

We cannot take responsibility for any terminal or cowl that has not been specified or fitted by a professional and is not suitable for your application. Sally Phillips, Director of Chimney Sheep and Chimney Balloon, adds: "The single biggest source of air loss in the home is an open chimney. For the first load, just make sure the filter cover is replaced correctly and screwed tight before using the washing machine. Open fires and wood burners aren’t the most environmentally friendly method of heating your home, although a roaring fire is very comforting when it’s cold outside. Our range of large Chimney Sheep® chimney plugs are designed to fit bigger chimney flues with the two largest sizes needing two separate handles to get them in place.However, a major issue with chimneys is the fact that they also allow warm air to escape from your home, whether your fire is currently on or not. The Chimney Balloon is designed to fill the whole chimney void, and be left in place for long periods of time.

Read our useful hints and tips about draught-proofing and ventilation, including for owners of older and listed properties. There are also felt and wool flue blockers that are perhaps easier to install as you merely push them into place (no tiresome inflating).

Draught proofing the flue will make a huge difference to the thermal efficiency and comfort of the house. To determine the best size Chimney Sheep® for your chimney, you’ll need to measure your flue and use our size calculator. We also recommend using a professional to specify the correct product for your fuel, chimney system, size and needs. Blocking it with a draught excluder can be a good quick fix to keep you warm and stop you wasting money on extra heating.

As chimneys are designed to draw air up and out of a building, lots of heat can be lost in this way.While fireplaces might add plenty of charm and warmth to a house, chimneys can be a source of heat loss, drawing warm air out of a space. Some other online articles still refer to the chimney balloon as if it was the only option for insulating the chimney.

It stops heat loss by acting as a chimney plug draft stopper that air seals and insulates the fireplace. Our chimney sweep recommended an old pillow in a black plastic bag, which has worked v well for us (attach something to dangle down so you don’t forget it’s up there! The medium range of our wool chimney draught excluders contains our most popular Chimney Sheep® sizes.In this article, we'll go over why you shouldn't rely on chimney balloons to help you with your chimney problems. 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! We've got a range of dangles that act as a reminder when your Chimney Sheep® is in place as well as our storage wraps that keep soot contained when you aren't using your Chimney Sheep®. There are always going to be gaps for air leakage to continue to steal your expensive heating and cooling. We have been taking a look at how effective they are, how to use them and what the alternatives might be.
