Default Heat loss from furnace via flue ?


"My gas bills are horrendous I should add"

join the club

keyspan/lipa what ever the hell its called now, raised gas 40%, .thats
with a mild winter.

is this warm air heat you have?

you normally cannot hold on to a flue pipe from any heating appliance,
unless its one of thos 94% high efficiency warm air jobs.

theres nothing to retrofit a gas flue pipe with..
unless its a boiler that will accept an electric stack damper,
that doesnt save on running time, only off time as it prevents the
chimney from pulling on the hot boiler.
