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 do I call to work on a gas fireplace?

A certified chimney and fireplace tech. We clean and inspect gas logs, burners and pilots, check for leaks and make sure the flame and venting are right. Call (410) 555-0117.

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.

For gas fireplaces we clean and check the logs, burner and pilot so you get a clean flame and no gas smell. For wood we make sure the firebox and damper are sound before you light the first fire of the season.
