Avoid the draft from your chimney
You expect brisk, shivery breezes on an autumn day -- but not in your home. So Battic Door Energy Conservation Products has some clever devices to plug leaks from overlooked areas such as clothes dryer vents and bathroom fans.
We're especially taken with the Fireplace Draftstopper, an inflatable, urethane flue plug that can be installed in a couple of minutes and removed whenever you want a fire.
It keeps warm air where it belongs -- in your house -- and banishes cold downdrafts around leaky flues.
Given today's energy costs, it shouldn't take long to recoup the $45 price.
The Draftstopper, which is made in Kent for the Massachusetts-based company, comes in two sizes to fit nearly any fireplace. 508-320-9082; www.batticdoor.com
