Why Gas Fireplaces Need Cleaning
While gas fireplaces produce no creosote, they still require annual maintenance. Dust, pet hair, and debris accumulate on burners and logs, affecting flame appearance and potentially causing odors. Components wear over time and need inspection. Regular cleaning keeps your gas fireplace looking beautiful and operating safely.

Glass Panel Cleaning
Gas fireplace glass develops a white film from combustion byproducts that regular glass cleaner cannot remove. We use specialized products designed for gas fireplace glass that safely dissolve this film and restore crystal clarity. Never use ammonia-based cleaners on gas fireplace glass as they can damage the coating.
Safety Inspection
Every gas fireplace cleaning includes safety inspection. We check gas connections for leaks, verify proper burner operation, inspect the venting system, and test safety controls. Gas fireplaces that show signs of problems are shut down until repairs can be made.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Fireplace Cleaning About Chimney Services in our service areas
How often should my gas fireplace be serviced in our service areas?
Annual service is recommended for all gas fireplaces. This ensures safe operation, maintains warranty compliance for many manufacturers, and keeps your fireplace looking its best in our service areas.
Why is there a white film on my gas fireplace glass in our service areas?
This film is caused by combustion byproducts and is normal. However, excessive buildup can indicate ventilation issues. Regular cleaning removes the film, and we check for any underlying problems in our service areas.
Can I clean my gas fireplace myself in our service areas?
