FAQs

How do I measure my chimney?

Measure the width and depth of the chimney opening above the fireplace using a tape measure. Make sure the measurements fit within the product's size range.

Can I use this excluder with a gas fireplace?

Yes, but always ensure the excluder is removed before operating the gas fireplace.

How often should I replace the excluder?

The excluder is designed for long-term use. Inspect it periodically for damage and replace it if necessary.

Is the excluder fire-resistant?

No, the excluder is not fire-resistant. It must be removed before using the fireplace.

How do I store the excluder when not in use?

Deflate the excluder and store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

What if my chimney size is at the extreme end of the size range?

Ensure the excluder still fits snugly. You may need to experiment with the inflation level for the best seal.

Can I leave the excluder in during the summer?

Yes, the excluder can remain in the chimney during the summer months to prevent drafts and debris from entering your home. However, make sure to remove it if you are planning to use the fireplace.

Troubleshooting

Excluder won't inflate.

Check the valve for blockages and ensure the inflation tube is properly connected. Make sure the excluder is positioned correctly within the chimney.

Excluder is not sealing properly, and drafts persist.

Check if the excluder is the correct size for your chimney. Adjust its position to ensure a tighter seal. If the problem persists, inspect the chimney walls for irregularities that might be preventing a seal.

Excluder deflates over time.

Inspect the excluder for any punctures or leaks. If found, replace the excluder. If no leaks are visible, ensure the valve is securely closed.
