Cold Air Under Gas Fireplace

I ve noticed it when it s not in use especially at night but it seems inconsistent and not necessarily predictable by the temperature or audible wind.

Cold air under gas fireplace.

If you have the damper closed but cold air still sweeps across the room it s very likely that your damper is worn cracked warped or generally degraded. The second person told me it was a normal part of the gas venting air flow. From the outside there is a fresh air intake on the chimney and there is a metal chimney exiting the top of the old stucco chimney. I have a gas fireplace that is blowing cold air into the room.

The airflow in the control area under the insert doesn t seem to be part of the gas system. In the winter alberta we get huge drafts coming in the grills of our gas fireplace insert. We recently bought a 1996 house which has a majestic gas fireplace. When you close the flue you re essentially plugging the chimney with a metal flap.

Even the heat fan that kicks in is located above the insert not below and there is no cold draft coming from the fan. There is no trouble shooting suggestion for this problem. A damper is a metal flap in your chimney that blocks cold air from coming in and warm air from escaping. Use our flue cover to stop the outside air from coming in through the flue.

After inspecting i realize that the reason this room is always colder than the rest of the house is because there is a ton of cold air coming in underneath the gas fireplace insert. Use our magnetic fireplace vent cover to stop the inner cold air circulation from the vents. You will stop the cold drafty air in the winter and keep warm humid air from coming in during the summer months.
