Gas Fireplace Repair and Service in Tinley Park, IL
A gas fireplace that clicks but won't light, a pilot that keeps going out or a remote that stopped working. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work and handle fireplace repair, cleaning and yearly service across Tinley Park, from our office on 185th Street.
Signs Your Gas Fireplace Needs Service
Here's what usually goes wrong:
It Clicks but Won't Light
The igniter is working, but the pilot isn't catching. Often a dirty pilot after the off-season.
It Lights, Then Goes Out
A worn thermocouple or thermopile is shutting off the gas for safety.
The Remote or Wall Switch Quit
Sometimes batteries, sometimes the receiver or valve.
A Gas Smell
Get out and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside. We'll repair it once it's safe.

Gas Fireplaces in Tinley Park Homes
Gas fireplaces were a common feature in homes built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and many Tinley Park homes date from those years.
Original Fireplaces Are Decades Old
A builder-installed fireplace from that era is often on its original valve, pilot assembly and thermopile. Those parts wear out, and many can be replaced without replacing the fireplace.
Service Before the Cold
With several nights a year at or below zero, a fall cleaning keeps the fireplace from failing on the first cold night.
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Keep a working carbon monoxide detector near any gas appliance. If it goes off, get out and call for help.
