A gas fireplace that clicks but won't light, a pilot that goes out or glass that turns black. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work and repair, clean and service gas fireplaces across Arlington Heights. From our office on East Central Road.
Is Your Arlington Heights Gas Fireplace Acting Up?
These are the calls we get most when it gets cold:
It Won't Light
Dust and debris in the pilot after a summer off are the usual cause.
The Flame Goes Out
A worn thermocouple or thermopile can no longer hold the gas valve open.
Black Glass or a Yellow Flame
A dirty burner, logs out of place or a venting problem.
A Gas Smell
Leave the house. Call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside, then call us once it's safe.

Gas Fireplaces in Arlington Heights Homes
Fireplaces here reflect when each home was built.
Masonry Fireplaces Converted to Gas
Many homes from the 1950s through the 1970s have brick fireplaces that got gas logs later. The damper has to stay open and the flue has to be clear. We check the gas side and tell you if the chimney needs attention.
Inserts in Older Fireplaces
A gas insert vents through a liner in the old chimney. A damaged liner can push exhaust back into the room.
Builder Fireplaces From the 1980s
Direct-vent fireplaces from the 1980s are now 37 to 46 years old. Most parts can still be replaced without replacing the unit.
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Keep a working CO detector on every level and near any gas appliance.

Gas Fireplace Questions From Arlington Heights Homeowners
Once a year, before heating season.
Once a year, ideally in September or October, so any weak part shows up before the first cold night.
Dust and debris in the pilot.
Dust and debris build up in the pilot tube and burner over the summer. A cleaning usually fixes it. If not, the thermocouple or thermopile is the next suspect.
Often, if the chimney is sound and a gas line can reach it.
Often, yes. The chimney needs to be in good shape and drawing well, and a gas line has to be run to the firebox. We handle the gas line and tell you if anything needs a chimney professional first.
Leave and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside.
Leave the house and don't touch any switches. Call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside, then call us once it's safe.
It depends on what failed. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the part that failed and the make of the fireplace. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
