Fireplace work around?

JoeW519 | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

The house I’m buying has a fireplace. We will NOT be using it but don’t want to take it out, just in case someone still wants one when we re-sell it. So:

do you have a work around for air sealing and insulating at the damper that isn’t permanent and can be removed for some future owner?

Thanks in advance.

    Joe,
    There are two products to choose from:

    1. The Fireplace Draftstopper.

    2. For those in Britain, the Chimney Balloon.
