Do I need a Chimney Cap?

Yes, you do! According to "The Homeowner's Guide to Chimneys, Fireplaces and WoodStoves" there are several very important reasons why it's essential to have s good Chimney Cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow and sleet
  • Keep out aminals and birds
  • Keep out leaves, twigs and other debris which could lead to a blockage or chimney fire
  • Keep sparks from leaving the chimney and igniting nearby combustibles
  • Help eliminate wind induced downdrafts

Are you convinced? "Your woodstove" manual notes that "although galvanized steel is "okay" for seldom used fireplaces, however they will rust and corrode with day-in, day-out use. They also recommend consulting a sweep professional about your cap.

We will install any type of cap, but we recommend stainless steel or copper, because of better quality and durability. Many of these caps carry lifetime warranty. Several of the caps we offer:

Gelco Stainless Multi-Flue Chimney Tops
Gelco Stainless SingleFlue Chimney Caps
Gelco Stainless EasyClean Chimney Caps
Gelco Copper Chimney Caps

We will be happy to install any of above-mentioned or any other cap for your chimney. Please email us   for a professional advice.

Remember: Chimney without a cap is like a house without a roof!
