A Lock-Top damper or energy-saving damper is a damper that is connected to the chimney system at the top of the flue. Like a throat damper, it has an easy-to-use cable for opening and closing the flue (donât worry â you wonât have to go up on the roof!), but unlike a throat damper, a Lock-Top damper provides an airtight seal.
However, the advantage of a throat damper is that it seals off the living space from the air mass in the chimney, which, especially for chimneys positioned on an outside of wall of the home, is generally very cold. It is possible in practice to use both a top damper and a throat damper to obtain the benefits of both.
