When performing fireplace maintenance, one of our experienced technicians will test all safety controls.
Although a gas fireplace does not require quite as much maintenance as a wood-burning one, it does need some attention from time to time. The unit still gets very hot and runs on gas, so it needs to be inspected and tested regularly. It is best to leave this task in the hands of a trained and knowledgeable professional. If your South Georgian Bay, Ontario home has a gas fireplace, turn to Nottawasaga Mechanical for regular fireplace maintenance. We are experts in this area, along with other aspects of maintaining the warmth and comfort of your living space.
When performing fireplace maintenance, one of our experienced technicians will test all safety controls, including the shutoff valves, thermocouple, and thermopile to ensure that they are functioning properly. We will also inspect the gas lines, looking for signs of pressure swings or corrosion, and examine the venting. Any vents or chimneys are cleared of blockages to prevent exhaust from getting trapped. Our process includes a test of the burners to make sure there are no issues with cracking, rust, or blockages. If needed, we will clean the glass and dust the interior to remove any debris that may have built up during the off-season.
It is recommended to schedule fireplace maintenance at least once per year, ideally in the early fall season before the climate cools down significantly. When you start relying on your fireplace more to stay cozy, you want to be sure that it is working efficiently and safely. Contact us if your unit is due for fireplace maintenance.
