What is the most common problem with a gas fireplace?

A pilot or igniter that will not light, usually from a dirty burner or a worn thermocouple. Most are quick fixes once we clean and test the unit.

Who should I call for gas fireplace repair?

Call Baltimore Chimney Co at (443) 486-3406 for gas fireplace inspection, cleaning, and pilot service in Greater Baltimore. The phone is answered 24/7. Tell us your ZIP code and the problem so we can confirm the service scope and available appointment options.

Does a free visual inspection include gas fireplace repairs?

No. The free visual inspection helps identify visible concerns and prepare a quote. Cleaning, pilot service, repairs, and a formal chimney inspection are separate services. Confirm what is included and review the written price before authorizing work.

Why does smoke come into my room instead of going up the chimney?

It is usually a draft issue, a closed or partial damper, a cold flue, a blockage or a stack that is too short. We find the cause instead of guessing, then fix it.

Do you service gas fireplaces too?

Yes. We clean and inspect gas logs, burners and pilots, check for leaks and make sure the flame looks right. Gas units still need annual service for safety even though they look clean.

Have the make and model ready if available, and describe whether the pilot will not light, the burner will not start, or the fireplace shuts off. Tell us when it was last serviced. These details help us discuss the visit without guessing at a repair.

For a wood fireplace, mention smoke entering the room, a stuck damper, or damaged firebox panels. Fireplace service and chimney sweeping cover different parts of the system. We discuss whether the visit calls for cleaning, an inspection, or a repair before work begins.
