Our installation services can include:
Gas burns cleaner than wood, but a gas fireplace is still a working appliance with burners, valves, ignition components, and venting that all need attention over time. Most manufacturers recommend a professional inspection about once a year.
That schedule is especially important in Northern Colorado, where fireplaces sit idle during our warm summers and then work hard through long, cold seasons.
During that time, your fireplace can develop:
Left alone, these issues can lead to:
An annual visit from a qualified technician keeps your fireplace burning bright, helps manage your utility costs, and gives you the confidence that the system is venting properly before the heating season.
Because we work on so many fireplaces throughout Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and the surrounding communities, we tend to see the same patterns over and over. Here are some of the most common issues our team is called to fix and why they matter.
If the flame looks small, lazy, or uneven, your fireplace is not using fuel efficiently. That can be caused by:
You end up paying for gas that is not turning into useful heat, and the fireplace often struggles to warm the space the way it used to.
A properly tuned gas fireplace should not create visible soot. When soot does appear, it is usually a sign of incomplete combustion, incorrect log placement, or blocked air passages. Over time, soot can stain walls and trim and can also indicate conditions that increase fire and carbon monoxide risk if not corrected.
A brief “hot dust” smell the first time you turn a gas appliance on for the season can be normal.
However, persistent musty smells, sharp chemical odors, or anything that seems like gas needs to be checked. They can point to:
A fireplace that refuses to light, clicks repeatedly without catching, or has a pilot that constantly goes out is more than a little annoying. The cause may be:
Gas fireplaces are designed to vent combustion gases safely out of your home, but that depends on proper installation, a clear vent path, and healthy combustion. Issues like blocked terminations, cracked components, or severely misadjusted burners can increase the risk of CO entering the living space.
Having your fireplace serviced by a qualified team is one important layer of protection, along with functioning carbon monoxide detectors on each level of your home.
When you invite someone to work on a gas appliance in your living room, you want more than a one-time contractor. You want a partner you can call year after year, someone who knows your system and cares about your home.
