Our Services
Gas fireplaces cleaned, tested and repaired
Diagnosis first, then repair and service, the way our gas fireplace specialists work in your home.
Read the rating plate before touching a part
Every gas fireplace carries a rating plate that names the maker, the model, the fuel it was built for and its input rating. That plate decides which manual applies, which parts fit and which pressures the burner should run at. Two units that look alike from across the room can use different ignition systems and different valves.
Our technicians find and read the plate first, usually behind the lower grille or the control access panel. If you can see it without taking anything apart, a note of the make and model when you book helps us bring the right information. If you cannot find it, leave that to us.
A blower that hums, rattles or stops
The blower moves room air around the outside of the firebox and pushes warm air back into the room. It plays no part in combustion, but it collects lint and pet hair, and a motor that hums, rattles or turns slowly is usually asking for cleaning or replacement.
One maker's annual service list includes cleaning the blower with a soft brush and a vacuum. We clean it, check the fan and its temperature switch where one is fitted, and replace the motor with the listed part when it has worn out. A fault in the household circuit that feeds the blower is work for an electrician, and we say so.
Getting to the controls behind the surround
Service on a gas fireplace happens mostly through its lower grille, control panel or front. The Florida fuel gas code says panels, grilles and access doors that have to come off for normal servicing must not be attached to the building. A remodel that tiles over the control access or fixes a grille in place makes every future repair harder.
If your surround has covered an access point, we explain what is needed to reach the controls before we start, and we never cut into a finish without your approval. When you plan a new surround, we can point out which panels have to stay removable.
Gas inserts in an existing fireplace
A gas insert is a sealed unit set into an existing fireplace opening, venting through liners run up the old chimney. Its repairs follow the insert's own manual, and some parts sit behind a surround panel that has to come off first.
Tell us if your fireplace is an insert when you book, and share the model if you have it. We check the insert, its liner connections where they can be reached and the surround panels, and we explain any work that needs the insert pulled forward before we start. That keeps the scope and the price clear from the beginning.
