What Are the Benefits of Owning a Gas Fireplace?
There’s no shortage of homeowners opting for gas fireplaces, and it’s a trend we think will only continue. There are a number of reasons for this trend, including:
- Ease of use: Rather than spending the time building and maintaining a fire, you can start or stop a roaring fire with the push of a button
- Decreased maintenance: While gas fireplaces still need regular cleaning and upkeep, there is no need to remove messy ashes after each use.
- Increased efficiency: Gas fireplaces waste virtually no energy and burn with as much as 99% efficiency.
- Flexibility: Gas fireplaces can often be installed in places where it would be impossible to have a wood-burning fireplace — this gives you more flexibility when considering a new fireplace.
If you have a gas fireplace or are considering adding one to your home, the experts at Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales will be more than happy to take care of everything for you, from sales and installation to cleanings, inspections and repairs!
Jeffersonville Gas Fireplace Cleaning, Inspections & Repairs
One of the main reasons many people switch from wood to gas is the drastically reduced maintenance required. However, gas fireplaces still need some regular maintenance in order to keep working their best!
At Olde Towne Chimney, we can take care of all of your gas fireplace maintenance needs.
Cleaning & Inspections
Just like wood -burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces need regular sweepings and inspections. A chimney sweeping and inspection of a gas fireplace helps to ensure that the appliance is working and venting correctly, and that there are no blockages in the chimney or flue. Likewise, an inspection ensures that all fireplace and chimney components are still in good condition.
Repairs
While it may seem tempting to complete a gas fireplace repair yourself, if your gas fireplace is damaged, you should trust the professionals at Olde Towne Chimney to repair it. Because of the delicate nature of gas fireplaces, gas components that are as little as a few millimeters off can cause improper venting or gas leaks. Instead of giving it a go yourself, hire a professional! We can ensure that your gas fireplace repair is done correctly and that your fireplace continues to run safely after it is repaired.
Our chimney, fireplace and dryer vent services include the important task of chimney sweeping and inspections. Is it time for you to schedule that appointment too?
Do Gas Fireplaces Need To Be Inspection & Cleaned Annually?
Yes! It’s a common assumption that, because they burn cleaner and are so easy to operate, gas fireplaces need less professional upkeep. Yet, even though gas fireplaces are cleaner-burning than wood-burning systems, they still require annual inspections and cleanings by a qualified professional.
Here’s why:
- Gas fireplace servicing reduces the risk of hazards. Gas fireplaces can develop issues with the burner, pilot light, ignition system, or ventilation, which can trigger safety hazards. A yearly inspection helps identify potential problems like gas leaks or carbon monoxide risks before they become dangerous.
- Gas fireplaces can experience blockages. Debris, dust, twigs, leaves, and even insects or small animals can find their way into the venting system of you gas fireplace – remember that it’s still exposed, just like a masonry chimney would be. Regular cleaning ensures proper airflow and safe exhaust of combustion gases.
- Gas fireplaces are prone to wear and tear. Gas fireplace parts – like gaskets, valves, and seals – can wear out over time, just like any appliance in your home. During an annual service, a technician will check these components to ensure your system is running as safely and efficiently as possible.
- Gas fireplace servicing maximizes efficiency and performance. It’s a simple fact – a clean, well-maintained gas fireplace heats more effectively and runs more efficiently. An annual gas fireplace service will help lower your energy costs and extend the life of your unit.
- Gas fireplace servicing ensures you maintain warranty coverage. Many gas fireplace manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Skipping it could cost you later if a repair is needed.
