If you’re having an issue with your gas fireplace, it can be an inconvenience, or it can be a serious problem. Whether it won’t light, smells funny, or is otherwise not operating properly, it’s important to have the issue addressed rapidly and efficiently.
At Lagana Plumbing & Heating, our long history in the area means we understand that when your gas fireplace fails, it can cause serious issues for your safety and comfort. Our emergency repair hotline ensures we can respond to your gas fireplace breakdown quickly and effectively.
For many situations, an aging fireplace system or lack of professional maintenance can cause small repairs to balloon into big issues causing a major problem. It’s very easy to miss signs of potential issues as a homeowner, so professional inspection and care is of vital importance.
In many circumstances, repairs can be made to get your system back into operation. However, issues caused by lack of care or aging can lead to other problems. Take the time to chat with your service technician to determine the overall condition of your gas fireplace system.
Generally speaking, if you smell gas when the fireplace is off, you need to leave the structure, shut off the gas if possible, and immediately call for help, as this can be a very dangerous situation. If the gas smell goes away when the fireplace isn’t in use, it’s not immediately urgent, but don’t use your fireplace until it’s checked.
There are several other areas you can check, however. If your carbon monoxide alarm is going off, do you have the damper open? If your gas fireplace won’t light, do you have the gas shutoff set properly for gas to flow? These are a couple of easy, safe checks you can take to avoid an unnecessary house call.
