Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if my gas fireplace needs repair?
- Common signs that your gas fireplace needs repair include difficulty starting, uneven heat output, strange noises, or a yellow or orange flame (which indicates an issue with the combustion). If you're experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a service to prevent further damage and ensure the safety and efficiency of your system.
- Can I convert my wood-burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?
- Yes, it’s possible to convert a wood-burning fireplace to a gas one. This is a popular choice for homeowners who want the ease and convenience of a gas fire without the hassle of maintaining wood. Our team can help guide you through the conversion process, offering a selection of gas fireplace models that will suit your home’s design and heating needs.
- What’s the difference between a gas fireplace and a gas insert?
- A gas fireplace is a free-standing unit that provides both heat and ambiance. A gas insert, on the other hand, is designed to fit inside an existing fireplace, providing a cleaner and more efficient way to heat your home. Gas inserts are ideal for homeowners who want to modernize their old fireplace while keeping its original structure.
- How often should I service my gas fireplace?
- To ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your gas fireplace, we recommend having it serviced annually. Regular maintenance includes inspecting the burner, checking for gas leaks, cleaning the system, and ensuring proper venting. Annual servicing will help prevent breakdowns and maintain the ambiance and warmth of your fireplace.
- Can a gas fireplace heat my entire home?
- While a gas fireplace can provide supplemental heat to a room, it typically won’t heat your entire home. However, gas inserts are more efficient and can help with heating multiple rooms when installed strategically. If you’re looking for a more powerful heating solution, we can discuss other options, including integrating your fireplace with your home’s existing heating system.
