Gas Fireplace Service and Repair

A malfunctioning gas fireplace can be frustrating and unsafe. We inspect and clean all components, including the pilot assembly, thermocouple, and gas valve.

You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.

The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.

  • Your dryer’s ventilation exhaust pipe and dryer flex connector should be inspected and cleaned once a year.
  • The area surrounding the vent should be visually inspected every 6 months to be sure there’s no damage to the flexible connector pipe. Tiny holes may develop in the flexible connector behind the clothes dryer causing dust (or monoxide if it is a gas-fired dryer) to enter the residence.
  • Plastic flexible connectors are not code and must be replaced with semi-rigid aluminum or a similar type of UL Listed product.

Yes! While gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning fireplaces, they still require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Even though gas burns without producing creosote, dust, soot, and carbon deposits can still accumulate inside the fireplace, on the burner, logs, glass, and venting system.
