Gas Fireplace Repair

It is imperative to pay close attention to the operation of your gas fireplace. Often, small signs can indicate malfunction before they become bigger problems.

If you notice any problems with your system, we recommend scheduling gas fireplace repair at the earliest opportunity. The following issues can indicate everything from poor ventilation to damaged gas lines that could spark a fire or release toxic fumes if left unresolved:

• Problems with the pilot light: Clogged pilot lights, worn-out thermocouples, and faulty wiring can cause pilot light failure.
• Rotten egg odors: If you smell rotten eggs near your gas fireplace, you likely have a natural gas leak that requires immediate attention.
• Excessive soot buildup: Heavy soot within a gas fireplace indicates poor ventilation from a blocked flue pipe. Unusual soot accumulation could be caused by poor gas pressure, a malfunctioning gas valve, and infrequent maintenance.
• Short-cycling: Your fireplace turning off and on frequently could be caused by faulty or dirty sensors, a thermostat issue, or a bad thermocouple or thermopile.
