Gas fireplaces are gaining popularity among homeowners due to their clean-burning nature and eco-friendliness. However, even these low-maintenance fireplaces require regular cleaning and inspection to ensure safety and longevity. At Fireplace Plus, we understand the importance of protecting your investment and keeping your gas fireplace in optimal condition.
Why Service Your Gas Fireplace?
While gas fireplaces eliminate the need for cleaning up ashes and soot, they still require regular maintenance. Proper servicing helps identify potential issues, ensures efficient operation, and prolongs the lifespan of your fireplace. Although you can attempt a DIY cleaning, working with a natural gas line can be daunting for some. In such cases, it’s best to leave the task to our experienced fireplace service technicians.
What to Expect from a Fireplace Service
Servicing a gas fireplace is less messy compared to a wood-burning one. When you choose our professional service, here are the steps we follow to ensure your fireplace’s optimal performance:
- Exterior Inspection: We thoroughly examine the framework of your fireplace, checking for proper mounting, cracks, or gaps that may compromise its safety.
- Glass Maintenance: Our technicians inspect the glass for cracks using appropriate non-ammonia cleaning products or fireplace glass cleaners. We also examine the door trim, ensuring it’s secure and airtight. We replace loose or cracked glass panes and reset gasket seals if necessary.
- Log Inspection: Ceramic or cement logs in gas fireplaces can deteriorate over time. We inspect them for fading colors and replace them if needed without replacing the entire fireplace.
- Gas Ignition Check: Our experts test the interior gas ignition system to ensure proper lighting. We clean the valves and ports under and amidst the logs, removing any buildup that may affect ignition. Additionally, we thoroughly check for gas leaks using water mixed with dish soap.
- Interior Vacuuming: Dust, debris, and pet hair can accumulate inside your gas fireplace. Our technicians meticulously vacuum the interior, eliminating any unwanted particles.
- Carbon Monoxide Detectors: As part of our service, we ensure your carbon monoxide detectors are working correctly. If needed, we install or replace them for enhanced safety.
- Chimney Inspection: Although gas fireplaces do not require extensive chimney sweeping, we inspect the external structure and interior walls surrounding the chimney. We look for signs of condensation, such as damp patches, ceiling stains, or efflorescence on exterior masonry, and provide necessary recommendations for repairs.
When to Schedule a Fireplace Service
The frequency of gas fireplace servicing depends on usage. If you enjoy the warmth of your fireplace from autumn to spring, an annual service check in early summer is recommended. For occasional use, a service check every two years should suffice. Additionally, we advise replacing carbon monoxide detectors every five years to ensure proper ventilation and early detection of potential issues.
Affordable and Reliable Fireplace Servicing
The cost of gas fireplace servicing varies based on location, fireplace size, condition, and urgency of the service call. At Fireplace Plus, our services are competitively priced, ranging from $100 to $200, providing you with peace of mind and exceptional value for your investment. If you prefer a DIY approach and no parts need replacement, the cost of self-servicing is minimal.
