If I remove the fireplace doors on my non-working fireplace, is it still wasting energy?

I have a non-working fireplace. The chimney was closed off when the roof was re-done. I want to remove the fireplace doors, and paint the fireplace so it can still be a focal point in the room, despite the fact that it no longer works. If I remove the fireplace doors, will all my AC (in Florida!) go in to my attic? Or will simply keeping the damper shut prevent that? I want it to be aesthetically pleasing AND energy efficient! Thanks!

It shouldn’t cause the a/c or heat to go into your attic. However, remember that cold air sinks and hot air rises and you are going to leak some air/heat into the chimney stack. My suggestion is this. Take the doors off and see if you notice an increase in you electric bill. I suspect that you won’t during the summer, but you may notice a slight increase in the winter because of the hot air rising into the chimney. If you are the type of person who is overly green then you could have a contractor come in and block off the chimney just above the fireplace.
