Did you know that about 99% of gas fireplace service problems can be avoided by simply having your gas hearth appliance cleaned and tuned up?The flames on your gas fireplace are produced by tiny jets of gas in the burner tube that erupt from small pin holes. Over the warm months - especially on open gas logs - dust and dust mites can clog these little openings resulting in a dirty flame or, worse yet, the flames not being able to come through at all. Cleaning the gas burner is the minimum job that should be done annually on your gas logs or gas fireplace/insert. Once a gas hearth appliance begins burning dirty, it produces soot on other parts that will prevent them from doing their job of lighting easily and staying lit.
Like other appliances, a simple cleaning and tune-up will keep your fireplace burning brightly and operating at peak efficiency. Gas logs, gas fireplaces and gas inserts share many common components which should be checked annually and cleaned as needed. When we're available in the fall or winter it's not uncommon to wait a month for service. So call us in the spring when we can easily work within YOUR schedule.
