@lavictal: My Alabama Power bill was almost $500 dollars this month so watch me insulate my decomissioned fireplace using only household items because something has got to give. #fyp #rentalhack
best part honestly is that it’s bright on the edges so you will remember to take it out when you need to use the fireplace that’s genius

Hi!! I work at a fireplace company. ASK FOR A TOP LOAD DAMPER!!! This will seal your chimney/ flue 😁😁

You should pick up some reflectix :) you can get it on amazon or at places like Home Depot, it’s basically insulated bubble wrap. It keeps the heat out and cool in. And it’s relatively cheap! I use it over windows and drafty spots

Honestly, that probably will work just as well as any of the products I've seen sold for that purpose.

Check out Reflectix. It’s attic insulation that is essentially metallic bubble wrap and starts at like $20 for a roll. We put it in windows but I have a duct the attic collapsed into following a storm that my landlord refused to fix and I use that to block the hot air that comes in during the summer. You can cut the stuff w scissors and tape it to that board for structure!

If you want to enhance it a bit they sell heat shielding that is self stick on Amazon too. You can cut it to size.
