So Why Do I Need my Gas Fireplace Checked Annually?
Your fireplace works hard. All fall and winter to keep you warm. Yes, gas fireplaces are efficient and appear low maintenance to most people. But like any appliance in your home, it needs care and an annual check-up.
So, don’t overlook the need to keep your fireplace clean and working properly. Heat and dirt build-up over time starts to affect the interior of your fireplace. All the working parts of your fireplace eventually age over time.
We just don’t typically spend a lot of time thinking about our fireplaces!
With an annual check-up, you will increase the lifespan of your fireplace and minimize repairs over time. Preventative maintenance is well worth it to make sure your fireplace starts perfectly each season.
Safety is another reason. Gas fireplaces need to be well vented. If there is a blockage, you could face the possible danger of carbon monoxide leaking into your home. Our fireplaces do age over the years and things can go wrong – gas burners can crack over time and this will affect how well your fireplace is working.
Plus, you want your fireplace to look good. Cleaning the glass and enjoying the sparkling clean vision of dancing flames adds to a better ambience in your house.
Seasonal inspection of all the working parts of a gas fireplace and maintenance of your flues and vents also helps assure good indoor air quality. Your gas fireplace can emit certain CO2 and nitrous gases that you can’t see – so keep your home clean and safe.
So, remember that every fireplace or insert should be cleaned annually.
