Local Knowledge

Gas Fireplaces in Mokena Homes

Many Mokena homes built in the 1990s and 2000s came with a gas fireplace.

Direct-Vent Units

Most are sealed units that vent through the wall. Parts are usually available, so repairs are straightforward.

Original Fireplaces at 25 Years

Thermocouples, igniters and gaskets wear out. A yearly service catches them early.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Every home with a gas fireplace should have a working detector near the bedrooms and on every floor.

Remote and Wall Switch Problems

If the fireplace won't respond to the remote or switch, the receiver batteries or the wiring are often the cause, not the gas valve.
