"To whom it may concern, We recently had Ilya Sidorin to our home to repair our gas log fireplace. It’s been starting poorly for a year and hadn’t been serviced since we acquired our home in 2013. Ilya made a preliminary diagnosis of a faulty valve on the phone and we scheduled an appointment. On the appointed day he showed up exactly on time. He even called to let me know he was on the way. For a Summit County contractor, that’s saying a lot He was most pleasant in introducing himself and went right to work. He covered the work area to protect the flooring and tile surround from debris and damage. In removing the glass panel, he pointed out that it was installed incorrectly. Not only was this a breakage hazard, but a leak hazard as well. It was quite obvious he knew his trade and was a skilled professional. His original diagnosis proved to be the correct and he brought the required part with him. He did more than was required including a thorough cleaning of the glass and a high tech “sniffer” test to ensure there were no leaks. We can’t speak highly enough of Rocky Mountain Fireplaces. Ilya runs his business in a manner that ensures satisfied and repeat customers. This is a contractor who inspires confidence. Job well done! Chris & Shari Dorton Wildernest"

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
