Nashville Fireplace & Chimney,LLC

Chimney caps serve several purposes for your chimney.

• Keep out unwanted critters such as birds and squirrels
• Keep water from entering the flue opening at the top of the chimney
• Some chimney caps are equipped with spark arrestors. This helps to contain the flying sparks from landing on your roof and spreading a fire in the event of a flue fire.
• Chimney caps can serve as a asthetic piece to add a touch of your style to the chimney and exterior portion of the home.

NFC offers custom fabricated single and multi flue chimney caps. Our chimney caps are available in stainless steel, copper and galvanized materials.

The technician will then provide a verbal and written estimate for your chimney cap. Prices are based on the size, material and style that the customer chooses.

Multi-Flue Chimney Cap

Single Flue Chimney Cap

High Wind Cap

Chase Covers

The chase cover, sometimes called a chase pan, is located at the top of the chimney. Chase covers protect the chimney from water, rodents and debris from entering the top of the chimney and potentially damaging or causing a blockage in the flue.

Damaged or rusted chase covers should be replaced to prevent water penetration into the chimney.

At NFC our chimney sweep technicians can evaluate your existing chase cover, blue print & fabricate a new chase cover for you, and install the new chase cover.

Fireplace Dampers

The fireplace damper play an important role in the function of your fireplace and chimney. Traditionally, dampers are located near the firebox in the "throat" portion of the chimney. these dampers are typically made out of cast iron and have a metal to metal seal which will open and close to allow the smoke to exit the chimney through the flue.

Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that these traditional "throat" dampers tend to leak, thus letting cold air in and leaking up to $200.00 of heating and cooling every year.

New energy efficient Lock-Top-Dampers are one solution to this problem.

These dampers are a top mount damper with a rubber seal that opens and closed from the firebox. A small bracket is installed in the firebox area where the chain and handle is conected  so that you can easily open and close the damper system. With the rubber seal in the lock-top-damper, your heating and cooling will be contained more efficiently, thus saving you money on your energy bill.
