Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I get my chimney cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211 says, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances.
The initial and foremost guideline of any gas fireplace system is to have it inspected every year. With professional chimney companies, you can usually have your annual chimney cleaning and gas inspection scheduled at the same time. Matter of fact, your whole system should be inspected annually, top to bottom.
How often do I service my gas fireplace?
Should I clean the fireplace glass on a regular basis?
Of course! To do this right, you need ot do this carefully. One clever, all-natural way to clean your fireplace glass is to use a newspaper or paper towel and ash: Take a damp paper towel or newspaper and dip in leftover ashes. Wipe the glass in a circular motion to loosen caked-on soot.
Can I clean the fireplace glass safely myself?
The lifespan of a prefabricated fireplace is similar to other major appliances such as a range or refrigerator. Although they can last for as long as 20-30 years when well maintained, most masonry chimneys can last for generations.
How long should a fireplace last?
Pilot lights will occasionally go out. Sometimes the cause is easily resolved, such as running out of propane or turning off the gas. However, if the pilot light needs to be relit more than once per season, it should be inspected by a qualified service technician.
My pilot light is out, what can I do to make it work?
Like your chimney, cleaning your fireplace glass on a regular basis will help it sparkle and reduce the amount of effort it takes to clean it. And, if you neglect cleaning your fireplace glass too long, the white or black substance on the glass can stain, making it near impossible to get clean.
