Signs Your Fireplace Needs Service
Difficulty Starting or Staying Lit
If your fireplace is hard to start or the flame won't stay lit, it's time for professional service. This often indicates dirty components or failing safety sensors.
Excessive Soot or Dirty Glass
Black soot buildup on the glass or logs indicates incomplete combustion, which reduces efficiency and can be a safety concern. Professional cleaning and adjustment will restore proper operation.
Strange Odors
Unusual smells when operating your fireplace should never be ignored. They can indicate gas leaks, dust buildup, or other issues requiring immediate attention.
Yellow or Orange Flames
Gas fireplaces should have predominantly blue flames. Yellow or orange flames suggest improper combustion that needs professional adjustment.
It's Been Over a Year
Even if your fireplace seems to be working fine, annual maintenance is recommended to catch potential issues early and maintain warranty coverage.
