Gas Fireplace Service in Los Angeles, CA

Most fireplaces in newer Los Angeles homes burn gas, and many older wood fireplaces have been converted to gas logs. A gas fireplace does not build creosote, but it is not maintenance-free: dust collects on the burner, logs shift, glass clouds over, and the vent can be blocked by nests or debris.

What to Know About Gas Fireplace Service in Los Angeles

A yearly service keeps the flame clean and the appliance venting properly, and it catches problems before the first cold evening of the season.

Gas fireplace service is priced by appliance type, and you get the price before any work begins. It can be combined with a chimney inspection.

We provide gas fireplace service across Los Angeles from our office in Valley Village. The city pages below explain what is typical in each area.

What Gas Fireplace Service Covers

We clean the burner and the area around the pilot, clean and reposition the logs or media as the manufacturer specifies, clean the glass on sealed units, and check the gaskets. The vent and its outside termination are checked for blockages, and for gas logs in an old masonry fireplace, we make sure the damper is set correctly.

We light the fireplace and watch the flame and the draft before we leave.

Where Our Work Stops

We clean and check the fireplace and its venting. Gas line work, gas valve replacement and anything involving the gas supply itself belongs to a licensed gas or plumbing contractor, and if we see a problem in that area we tell you to call one.

Does a Gas Fireplace Need Yearly Service?

If you use it regularly, yes. If it is used a few times a year, every other year may be enough, but the vent should still be checked for nests and debris before the first use of the season.
