Why It Matters

How a Chimney Damper Works

An open chimney is one of the largest uncovered holes in a house, and warm air rises straight out of it. Sealing them is quick, effective and free for eligible homes, and pairs well with free door seals for full draught-proofing.

Stops Cold Draughts

Seals the flue of an open brick fireplace you are not currently using.

Keeps The Warmth In

Holds the heat you pay for inside the room instead of leaking it outside.

Lower Heating Costs

A warmer home needs less heating, which quietly eases your energy bills.

Government-Supported

Funded under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, with no cost to eligible homes.

The Upgrade

Neatly Fitted, Fully Removable

Fitted into the chimney in a single visit, and fully removable whenever you want to use the fireplace agaie.

The Hidden Leak

Feel That Cold Air from the Fireplace?

An unsealed chimney lets a steady stream of cold air fall into the room and draws your heated air straight up the flue, which makes the whole room harder and more expensive to keep warm.

FAQs

Free Chimney Seal Questions, Answered

Everything Victorians ask before claiming their free chimney seals.

Are chimney seals really free in Victoria? +
For eligible Victorian households the chimney seals and their installation are funded under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, so there is no cost to you for the eligible upgrade. There is no catch and no obligation. A quick eligibility check confirms what applies to your home.
Who is eligible for free chimney seals? +
Most Victorian homes with an open brick fireplace qualify, and there is no income test. Eligibility depends on your property and fireplace, which we confirm with a free, no-obligation check that takes about 30 seconds to start.
What does a chimney seal actually do? +
It seals the flue while the fireplace is not in use, so warm air is not drawn up the chimney and cold air does not fall back down out. Sealing those gaps keeps your home warmer in winter and reduces the draught you can feel near the hearth.
Will a chimney seal stop me using my fireplace? +
No. The damper is removable. Take it out whenever you want to light a fire and refit it once the fireplace is cold. It simply seals the flue while the fireplace is sitting unused.
Can renters get free chimney seals? +
Often yes, with the property owner's consent. Chimney seals are one of the simplest measures to arrange in a rental, and we are happy to guide both tenants and landlords through the easiest way to organise it.
How long does installation take? +
Usually a single short visit. A licensed installer fits the damper into your chimney cleanly and quickly, with no mess and no obligation.
