Gas Fireplace Repair and Service in Columbus, OH
A gas fireplace that won't light on the first cold night, a pilot that keeps going out or glass turning black. We repair, clean and service gas fireplaces and inserts across Columbus, from our office on West Goodale Boulevard.
Signs Your Gas Fireplace Needs Service
Most problems come down to the pilot, the ignition, the gas supply or a season of dust:
Clicking With No Flame
The igniter is sparking but the pilot won't catch, often from a clogged pilot tube after a summer of sitting.
It Lights, Then Shuts Off
The safety sensor is cutting the gas, usually a worn thermocouple or a venting problem it's picking up.
Black Glass and Orange Flames
Soot and lazy orange flames mean the burner is dirty, the logs are out of place or air isn't mixing right.
A Gas Smell
Get out, then call Columbia Gas of Ohio or 911 from outside. We'll fix the source once it's safe.
Gas Fireplace Repair, Cleaning and Yearly Service
A gas fireplace is a gas line, a burner and a vent working together:
Fix What Stopped Working
We troubleshoot the ignition, pilot assembly, gas valve, remote and switch, and replace the part that failed.
Fall Tune-Up
We clean the burner, pilot and glass, reset the logs, check for leaks and look over the vent so it's ready for winter.
Run a New Line
Adding a fireplace or converting a wood-burning one? We run and test the gas line. See gas line installation.
Gas Fireplaces in Columbus Homes
In older Columbus neighborhoods, a lot of fireplaces started out burning wood or coal and were converted to gas logs or inserts later.
Converted Fireplaces Deserve a Look
A conversion done years ago may be running on an old gas line or a flue that wasn't checked when the logs went in. A yearly service covers both.
Service Before the First Cold Snap
Central Ohio's first real cold usually arrives in late fall. A cleaning in September or October keeps the fireplace from failing that first night.
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Every gas appliance needs proper venting and a working carbon monoxide detector nearby. If the detector goes off, get out and call for help.
