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.

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.

He answered all of our questions in great detail and was super personable and professional. This was even though we were his last stop of the day and he did not get here until almost 6 pm. A huge asset to FCHA and why we continue to use them.Posted on Google Andrea JenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Zack was wonderful! He was helpful, honest, and respectful. He did not try to over sell services, and he absolutely over delivered. We will certainly call again for future work.Posted on Google Randy WeissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orel was thorough in his work, explained in simple terms what he was doing and looking for. He was honest in his assessment of the A/C; didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need. He extended his appointment to do the blower assembly cleaning. He could have scheduled it for a later date but instead took the time to do it then and not have me wait for another appointment. Much appreciated it.Posted on Google Thomas de SostoaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Friendly and professionalPosted on Google Valerie WebsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today we had Brent out for our furnace maintenance.This was our third time to have him (we request him now), and I cannot speak highly enough about how thorough and professional he is.Posted on Google Raquel ShustaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've used Fort Collins Heating and Air for both our heating and AC, and honestly, we can't say enough good things. From the first call, they were responsive and actually showed up when they said they would — which, let's be honest, isn't always a given these days. Both Micah and Brandon have been out to our place, and it's clear these guys know their stuff. They didn't just fix the problem and leave — they took the time to walk us through what was going on, what they were doing, and why. No upselling, no mystery charges, just straight talk and fair prices. It's refreshing to work with a company that treats you like a person instead of just another job on the schedule. Friendly, professional, and genuinely good at what they do. If you're in Fort Collins and need heating or AC work, don't waste your time calling around — just call these guys.Posted on Google Brian DetersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
