Gas Fireplace Inserts

Fireplace inserts are designed to boost efficiency, but when they act up, you’ll notice it fast. Weak flames, clicking with no ignition, or the unit shutting off after a few minutes. We provide fireplace insert repair that focuses on safe ignition, proper venting performance, and clean operation.

Common questions homeowners ask about fireplace inserts

Why does my fireplace insert click but not light?

This is often an ignition issue; dirty pilot assembly, weak spark, low gas supply, or a failing safety sensor.
A proper inspection helps confirm safe, consistent ignition.

Why does my insert turn on, then shut off a minute later?

That usually points to a safety shutdown caused by flame sensing, airflow/venting problems, or a dirty pilot. Cleaning and testing components typically restores reliable operation.

Is a weak flame normal on a gas insert?

Not always. Low flame can come from burner buildup, pressure issues, or restricted air intake. Proper flame pattern and steady heat output are the goal.

Gas Stove Fireplaces

Gas stoves deliver strong heat in a compact footprint, but they rely on a clean ignition system and proper venting. If yours is noisy, running weak, or refusing to light, we provide gas stove fireplace repair focused on performance, comfort, and safe operation.

Igniter problems, intermittent lighting, or no flame

Fan/blower issues, rattles, or grinding noises

Glass fogging, soot, and flame quality checks

Venting draft issues and shutoff troubleshooting

Common questions homeowners ask about gas stove fireplaces

Why does my gas stove fireplace make rattling or humming noises?

Often, it’s the blower fan, a loose panel, or vibration from normal operation. A quick inspection can quiet it down and prevent further wear.

Why does my stove fireplace light sometimes, but not always?

Intermittent ignition is commonly caused by a dirty pilot/igniter, weak sensor signal, or control issues. Cleaning and testing the ignition circuit usually solves it.

Should I get my gas stove serviced every year?

Yes! Annual service helps prevent ignition failures, improves flame quality, and catches venting/safety issues early. It’s one of the easiest ways to avoid surprise breakdowns.

Gas Burner Logsets

Gas logsets create a beautiful flame effect, but they’re sensitive to airflow, cleanliness, and proper setup. If your logset smells odd, won’t stay lit, or looks uneven, we can help with burner logset repair and safe performance checks.

Pilot won’t stay lit (Pilot assembly issues)

Uneven flame, delayed ignition, or “whoosh” starts

Burner ports clogged or dirty log placement problems

Gas valve and safety control diagnostics

Common questions homeowners ask about gas log sets

Why won’t my pilot light stay on?

A failing thermocouple/thermopile, dirty pilot assembly, or weak flame contact can cause the pilot to drop out. Cleaning and testing usually pinpoints the issue quickly.

Why is my logset flame uneven?

Dirty burner ports, incorrect log placement, or gas supply pressure problems can change flame shape. Correct setup and cleaning typically restores a fuller, more even flame.

My fireplace smells when it runs; should I stop using it?

New odors can come from a gas leak, dust burning off, dirty burners, or ventilation issues. If the smell is strong or unusual, it’s smart to shut it down and get it inspected for safety.

Outdoor Gas Fireplaces

Outdoor fireplaces and gas fire features take a beating from moisture, wind, debris, and temperature swings. If yours won’t ignite, the flame is weak, or controls are inconsistent, we offer outdoor fireplace repair to get your patio setup running clean and reliable.

Ignition issues after rain or long periods of non-use

Low flame, burner clogging, and debris cleanup

Remote switch and control troubleshooting

Seasonal safety checks for outdoor gas appliances

Common questions homeowners ask about outdoor gas fireplaces

Why won’t my outdoor fireplace ignite after winter?

Moisture intrusion, debris in the burner, or a dirty igniter/pilot are common causes. A seasonal tune-up typically restores reliable ignition.

My outdoor flame is weak. What’s the usual cause?

Burner buildup, restricted airflow, or supply issues can reduce flame strength. Cleaning and verifying correct operation usually brings it back.

Is it safe to run an outdoor gas fireplace in windy conditions?

Wind can affect flame stability and ignition reliability. If the unit struggles to stay lit or behaves erratically, it’s best to shut it down and have it checked.

How to Maintain Your Gas Fireplace Insert

Unlike traditional fireplaces, inserts are high-performance heating appliances that require annual precision care

Refresh Logs & Embers

Over time, decorative logs can shift or gather soot. We rearrange them to the manufacturer's spec to ensure proper flame impingement and replace the glowing embers for that "real fire" look

Clean Ceramic Glass

Over time, the glass can develop a foggy residue. Use a fireplace-safe glass cleaner to maintain clarity and prevent buildup.

Inspect Gasket Seal

check the fiberglass rope seals on your door. A worn gasket lets air leak in, ruining your efficiency and over-firing the unit. With an exhaust fan nearby, a leaking seal may also be a carbon monoxide hazard.

Check For Gas Leaks

Inspect the gas lines and connections for signs of wear or damage. If you notice a gas smell or suspect a leak, turn off the gas supply and contact a professional immediately.

Did You Know?

Most manufacturers require a Proof of Annual Service to honor lifetime claims. We provide a digital service receipt with every visit so you always have the paperwork you need for a warranty claim.

How To Know When Its Time
To Service Your Gas Fireplace

Low-maintenance doesn’t mean maintenance-free. Like your furnace, a gas insert relies on precision sensors, valves, and igniters that drift out of calibration. Don’t wait for a total breakdown; catching wear early prevents costly repairs and ensures your family’s safety. A few things you should monitor;
