When you flip the switch on your gas fireplace, you want one thing to happen. A strong, steady flame that warms the room, looks great, and operates safely in the background while you relax.
At Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning, that is exactly what we focus on. Our technicians service, repair, and install gas fireplaces for homeowners across Fort Collins and the greater Northern Colorado area, combining detailed workmanship with the care you expect from a fourth-generation, family-owned company that has been in business since 1934.
We are big enough to serve, small enough to care. Contact us to schedule your furnace installation today.
Our team provides complete care for gas fireplaces, from routine tune-ups to complex repairs and new system installations.
If your system is already giving you trouble, our service department is ready to help. Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning is known across the region for responsive, reliable heating service, with 24/7 availability when emergencies arise.
We repair:
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.

Great service, Hunter was extremely knowledgeable and addressed concerns we had with our unit in a quick but thorough approach. They replaced my AC and furnace, and installed a new heat pump.Posted on Google![]()

Cody provided exceptional service from start to finish. He was upfront and honest about what needed attention, what could wait, and the different repair options available to me. He explained everything clearly, showed me what he was seeing, and never made me feel pressured into choosing the most expensive option. He maintained a great attitude throughout the entire visit and worked patiently with me through several unexpected hurdles that came up during the appointment. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine concern for both the immediate repair and the long-term health of my HVAC system were obvious. Service this honest, and genuine is becoming increasingly rare. It was refreshing to work with someone who clearly takes pride in doing their job. I would gladly recommend him. And plan to continue working with Fort Collins Heating and Air Conditioning in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Master plumber Marshall Douglas from Fort Collins Heating and A/C came out and diagnosed the water accumulating under our water heater. He explained what he saw and the the proposed solutions very clearly. I wasn't much help because I was off-site and couldn't answer his questions. We agreed on a plan going forward and I trust his advice whether it's replacing the water heater or just cleaning the floor drain underneath it- but which we can't see as things are. The job is in-progress.Posted on Google![]()
