Maintaining a gas fireplace and keeping it safe and efficient isn’t difficult. It requires scheduling annual inspections and having repairs made as they become necessary.
American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, provides certified inspections and service for all types of zero-clearance gas fireplaces and gas log sets. We’re family-owned and family-operated, serving the greater Louisville region since 2007.
Here’s how we can help you with your gas fireplace or log set.
Gas Fireplace Inspection
Certified through the National Fireplace Institute, our technicians are experts at inspecting gas fireplaces and diagnosing problems.
Inspections typically involve the following:
- Leak testing in pipes, cylinders, valves and connections
- Ignition system and burner inspection
- Checking the operation of the pilot light assembly
- Looking for signs of particulate buildup that could cause drafting problems
- Determining if carbon monoxide is exiting the fireplace
- Evaluating the seals and condition of glass fireplace doors
- System-wide checks for damage and malfunction
Having your gas fireplace inspected annually is the best way to ensure that it operates the way it’s supposed to.
Gas Log Set Inspection
If you use a gas log set, we recommend having our technicians look it over once a year. A gas log set inspection usually includes:
- Ensuring that the logs are correctly mounted
- Checking for log damage or deterioration
- Testing the gas ignition system
- Inspecting for residue buildups in the ports and valves
- Looking for cracks and gaps in the framework of the firebox
- Inspecting the glass fireplace doors
