We Service & Install Gas Inserts & Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces are clean and convenient, which makes them incredibly popular choices for homeowners all over the country. But like wood-burning heating appliances, gas fireplaces require a certain amount of regular maintenance and service to ensure that they’re working properly, efficiently, and as safely as possible.
Regular maintenance can often help you avoid the need for expensive and time-consuming repairs. Did you know that more than half of all gas fireplace issues can be addressed with inspection and proper annual maintenance for your appliance? Like changing your oil to keep your engine healthy or servicing your HVAC system to make sure your home stays warm during Winters months and cool through Southern summers. It is smart and worthwhile to give your gas logs, gas inserts, and gas fireplaces the regular attention they need to stay efficient and dependable.
At Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps, we recommend annual inspection, cleaning and servicing to help ensure trouble-free operation, peak performance and efficiency. In the long run, you’ll be glad to have invested in routine maintenance — a simple cleaning and tune-up often helps homeowners avoid costly repairs later. It also lends the peace of mind that comes with being prepared for that first chilly fall evening or those power outages on cold nights when you need your gas fire the most — not to mention having everything ready-set-go for those holiday gatherings.
Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps’ Annual Gas Fireplace Service
When you call on Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps’ technicians to provide full service for your gas appliance each year, we’ll run down a checklist to make sure you’re ready for the safest and most efficient heating season possible.
Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps will:
- Clean dust and lint build-up from the controls and access panels of your appliance
- Test for gas leaks at the connection between the gas line and your appliance
- Check pilot flame and adjust (if needed) for optimum appearance and fuel efficiency
- Vacuum carbon and lint build-up from the burner and the logs. Dirty burners and logs not only detract from the aesthetic appeal of your fireplace, they can make lighting the flame more difficult, cause irregular flame patterns and lead to excessive soot buildup that can clog your system
- Check log placement – Improper placement can cause excessive soot and overall poor performance.
- Inspect and clean grilles, louvers, and hot air vents
- Inspect the chimney and venting system for draft problems, leaks, water entry, excessive soot buildup, or any other defects or performance problems
- Clean glass to remove soot and chlorides (corrosive salts that can damage glass)
- Check safety clearances
- Review safety guidelines and operating procedures, as needed
When Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps’ technicians leave your home, you can feel confident that you’re using a properly-maintained heating appliance that’s been serviced with care by knowledgeable, experienced professionals.
