Gas Fireplace Systems

Gas fireplaces are easy to live with, but they still need care. We clean, inspect and service gas fireplaces, logs and inserts, and make sure they vent the way they should.

What it is

A gas fireplace burns cleaner than wood, but its burner, pilot assembly, glass and logs collect dust and residue, and its vent can be blocked by debris, nests or corrosion. Small problems show up as a pilot that will not stay lit, sooty glass, odd flame color or a unit that shuts off on its own. An annual check keeps it in good working order.

Signs you need it

  • The pilot will not light or stay lit, or the fireplace shuts off after a few minutes
  • Soot or a white haze on the glass
  • Yellow, lazy or uneven flames
  • An odor when the fireplace is running
  • You have not had it serviced in more than a year

What we do

  1. Clean the burner, pilot assembly, glass and logs
  2. Check ignition, the thermocouple or thermopile, and controls
  3. Inspect the venting and termination for blockages, damage and proper clearances
  4. Check log placement and flame pattern
  5. Recommend inserts, logs or venting upgrades only when they make sense

FAQ

Gas Fireplace Systems questions.

Do gas fireplaces need to be cleaned?

Yes. Gas does not make creosote, but dust, residue and debris still build up on the burner, pilot and logs, and vents can get blocked. Annual service keeps them working and properly vented.

Why does my gas fireplace keep shutting off?

A dirty or worn thermocouple or thermopile is a common cause, but venting problems can trigger automatic shutoffs too. We diagnose which it is.

Can you install a gas insert in my wood fireplace?

We can evaluate your fireplace and chimney for an insert, including the liner it will need, and give you an itemized quote.
