What Does Our Fireplace Maintenance Service Include?

Keeping your gas fireplace operating efficiently and safely for you and your family is our specialty.

Gas fireplace maintenance consists of the following:

Remove the glass and clean both sides with a special gas glass cleaner

Vacuum logs and clean interior firebox

Check fan operation

An inspection of low volt connections

Clean burners and remove any spider webs

Check log set positioning (if incorrect, it will produce carbon)

Clean sensors, power pile and thermocouple and safety controls

Check door gasket

An inspection of the heat exchanger for cracks

Perform C.O. test and venting

Our visit includes a detailed examination of your gas fireplace system as a whole.

If, for example, the flame is yellow, it could mean too much carbon is present and will lead to dirty glass on your enclosure. This can be easily fixed by our technicians, and you’ll never miss the afternoons you spend cleaning the yellow stain off your fireplace enclosure (or looking at the yellow stain, but not really doing anything about it).

Fireplace Maintenance FAQ’s

How often should I schedule gas fireplace maintenance?

You should book professional gas fireplace maintenance once every year, ideally before or just after winter.

Annual service helps prevent mid-season breakdowns and ensures your fireplace operates safely and efficiently when you need it most.

What is included in a professional gas fireplace maintenance service?

A professional fireplace maintenance service includes a full inspection and cleaning of your fireplace system.

This involves cleaning the glass, logs, burners, and firebox; checking fan operation, sensors, safety controls, and low-voltage connections; inspecting the heat exchanger and venting; verifying proper log placement; and performing a carbon monoxide (C.O.) test.

Do I need an annual fireplace inspection?

Yes, an annual fireplace inspection is recommended to check that your gas fireplace is working safely and correctly.

It can help spot issues such as blocked burners, incorrect log placement, worn parts, carbon buildup or venting problems before they become more serious.

What happens if I skip gas fireplace maintenance?

Skipping regular gas fireplace maintenance can lead to poor performance, ignition issues, excessive sooting, reduced efficiency, and safety concerns such as carbon buildup.

Many emergency repairs happen during winter because a routine fireplace maintenance service was missed earlier in the year.

Are there any maintenance tasks I can do myself?

Yes. Homeowners can perform basic upkeep such as wiping down the exterior monthly, checking for visible damage or blockages, ensuring the fireplace is cool before cleaning, and confirming logs are properly positioned.

These small tasks can support regular care, but they should not replace an annual fireplace inspection by a certified technician. If anything appears broken or out of place, it’s important to contact a certified technician before using the fireplace again.
