1987 chimney in our home made living room constantly cold and full of drafts. Over previous years, had other work done on chimney to try to fix problem, but never worked. Have tried several different contractors who suggested different solutions. We were told that final resolution was to have chimney basically re-built, as entire liner, damper, and box were rusted from extensive water/flooding problems and inside floor of chimney was failing/falling in. Estimated $$$$$$$$ to fix problems. Then recently, I heard about the chimney plug, and for the minimal cost, thought I would try it as a last resort. It came in box with instructions on how to install. Its a dirty job, and it took me longer than I expected (45 minutes), but we have a unique damper handle which impeded the installation. Even with this obstacle, I was able to install it (I am not the handiest woman in the world!). Once I managed to get it in, it works fantastic. Really, it does. Our living room is now warm, and livable. We are not throwing heat (and $) out of the chimney. Its ridiculous how easy this thing is. If you don't want to get a little dirty, buy it and hire a contractor to install it. Its amazing. I wish I had learned about this 4 years ago. I wish a chimney contractor had recommended this product.
