Gas fireplaces need service too. We tune up, repair, and install gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets across Seattle, and we vent them correctly so they run safely through the heating season.
Gas fireplaces are allowed during every stage of a Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn ban, which is one reason they are the most common fireplace type in Eastside homes built after 1990. Natural gas from Puget Sound Energy serves most of Seattle and the Eastside, and propane serves the rest.
Gas appliances still produce moisture and combustion gases. The venting, whether a direct-vent pipe or an old masonry flue with a liner, needs a yearly check for blockages, corrosion, and rain intrusion.
An annual service is a fixed price. Repairs are quoted after diagnosis, and parts such as thermopiles and igniters are usually same-day. New installations are quoted with the unit, venting, and gas connection coordination together.
Once a year, ideally in early fall before the first cold nights, when service schedules are still open.
Yes. A gas log set uses the existing flue with a damper clamp. A gas insert gives far more heat and uses a new liner. Both need a gas line run by a licensed contractor.
Mineral deposits from combustion build up over a season. They are removed during annual service with a fireplace glass cleaner, not household glass cleaner, which can etch the glass.
