FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to keep using a fireplace that acts up?

If it shuts itself off or smells odd, stop using it and call. Safety systems shut units down for a reason.

Do you carry parts on the truck?

We stock the common failure parts — thermocouples, thermopiles, igniters — so most repairs finish in one visit.

Can you fix an old unit whose brand no longer exists?

Usually yes — most gas components are standardized. We'll tell you honestly if a unit isn't worth repairing.

Do you also do annual service?

Yes — see our gas fireplace service page for the full tune-up.
