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.

Jon took time to explain what he was doing and how he would prepare an estimate. I especially like that we scheduled a follow up visit for him to discuss the estimate he creates. Great service..Posted on Google![]()

For years we have had our heating/cooling systems semi-annually maintained. Today we had the pleasure of having Jake Philpott do the maintenance tasks (at two different locations). We quickly learned he is dedicated to making sure the customer knows what's going on and the conditions of our systems. Very professional, personable, and made sure we were pleased with his work and conditions of his work area. Jake is another great representative for Fort Collins Heating & Air. Thanks Jake!!Posted on Google![]()

I can't say enough about how good the sales process was. In shopping for an expensive heat pump and furnace system, for me I need a lot of information and I went through quotes with three companies, and Dave at Fort Collins Heating and air conditioning was far and away the best. I had a lot of detailed questions and he had all the answers, more detailed than I could have expected! I was especially impressed with his description of their quality control team, that comes through after the install and does a thorough check of static pressures, air flow and other performance measurements. They reward the install team for a good job and penalize them financially for a poor job. That's amazing. The installation guys seemed to know exactly what they were doing and worked well together and again answered all my questions, it looks perfect and they took 2 days for the install so it was not rushed. One of their competitors (in the yellow vans, hint) asked for 100% payment up front! And their prices were 40% higher, and they bragged about a one-day install, which is ridiculous. Installation is everything. Thanks for the system, I'm confident it is gonna work great.Posted on Google![]()

Jake did a great job on my annual fall furnace inspection and maintenance. He showed and explained the work done, and clearly explained the status of all involved — thankfully everything in good shape. Left the work area organized and clean.Posted on Google![]()
