Cutting drafts with a chimney balloon

If your business is located in an older building, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a chimney. Chimneys don’t just bring drafts into a building, they also suck out a lot of the air that’s been heated or cooled by your air conditioner.

The cheap and easy way to reduce this problem is to buy a chimney balloon. You place it inside your chimney and blow it up. If you want to use the fireplace, you simply deflate it for reuse later.

Depending on the size of your chimney, they will cost you $44–$55 from chimneyballoons.com.au. Given how much they reduce heating and cooling losses, they pay for themselves in a short period of time. They also make your building more comfortable.
