FAQ

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY FIREPLACE SERVICED

We recommend an annual service check before the first use of the season to ensure optimalperformance and safety.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SMELL GAS COMING FROM MY FIREPLACE?

If you detect a gas odor, turn off the fireplace immediately and ventilate the room by opening windows. Do not use electrical devices or light any flames. Contact a licensed professional to inspect the fireplace as soon as possible to avoid any safety risks.

CAN I SERVICE MY GAS FIREPLACE MYSELF?

Basic cleaning, like wiping down the glass and dusting, can be done by the homeowner. However, more technical tasks, such as inspecting gas lines and burners or cleaning the pilot assembly, should always be handled by a certified technician to ensure safety.

WHY DOES MY FIREPLACE MAKE POPPING OR BANGING NOISES?

Popping and banging sounds are typically caused by metal components expanding and contracting due to heat. While this is usually normal, persistent or loud noises should be checked by a professional to ensure there's no issue with the burner or ventilation system.

WHY IS THERE SOOT ON THE GLASS OF MY GAS FIREPLACE?

Soot buildup on the glass is often caused by incomplete combustion, which could be due to a dirty burner or blocked air shutters. Regular maintenance by a professional will prevent soot buildup and keep your fireplace running smoothly.

HOW CAN I PREVENT CREOSOTE BUILDUP IN MY CHIMNEY?

For wood-burning fireplaces, creosote buildup can lead to dangerous blockages. We recommend an annual chimney cleaning to remove creosote and ensure proper airflow and safety.

CAN I USE MY GAS FIREPLACE DURING A POWER OUTAGE?

Yes, most gas fireplaces with a standing pilot light or battery backup will function during a power outage. Check your fireplace’s model to see if it has this feature, or consult with a professional for confirmation.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF SMOKE IS COMING INTO MY HOME FROM MY FIREPLACE?

If smoke is entering your house, the damper may be closed, or there could be a blockage in the chimney. Ensure the damper is open, and contact a professional to inspect the chimney for obstructions.

DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE LOGS IN MY GAS FIREPLACE?

Yes, ceramic logs in gas fireplaces will degrade over time. To maintain safety and efficiency, replace them as recommended by the manufacturer or every few years.
