Louvers at the bot tom restrict the amount of air a fire consumes and can be closed when the fire burns down. This cuts the loss of warmed air up the flue. — If your fireplace damper opening can be adjusted from out side the fireplace, try closing the damper part way. This reduces the draft and the amount of warmed air drawn up the chimney from other parts of the house. — Close the damper when the fire is out. If the damper is left open, your furnace may consume 10 percent to 30 percent more fuel than it does normally. WE WANT YOUR CALCULATOR PROBLEMS!
