The Myth: Chimneys Don't Affect Summer Cooling Bills
Many Belmont homeowners assume the fireplace is dormant, but an open flue acts like a vacuum, sucking out your air conditioning. We see this energy drain daily in older homes near Belmont Hill. Proper services ensure your damper seals tightly, preventing conditioned air from escaping through the chimney. Without this maintenance, your HVAC system works overtime, fighting against the stack effect. Don't let a dirty liner cost you money when you should be enjoying the summer breeze comfortably.
