On Sunday morning Perrin showed up and had me go through the physical process to light the pilot. It would not light. As it turned out the new thermocouple went bad. They replaced it with no hassle. By the way, nice people that pay attention to keeping the house clean. I like others have had the experience of running out of propane gas, always at the wrong time and yes, I kept extra propane tanks but ran out of gas inevitably when it was raining, snowing too cold or whatever. I had a natural gas line run by Perrin and a conversion of the grill to natural gas. Being a serious BBQ guy I asked them to stay around until the BBQ heated up and checked the flame. I wanted on the high setting to develop a licking flame. They took the grill apart a second time to give me what I wanted. The grill never cooked better! Very pleased and recommend using them.

The tech told me the A/C unit was frozen solid and he wouldn't be able to check the unit until it melted but he was almost positive it would need to be replaced. I think he quoted me $3500-$4000 for a new unit. I've had to deal with many A/C units requiring servicing and didn't appreciate his alarmist angle. He also said he would need parts for the stove and would have to go to the shop to look them up.I immediately hopped back online and called Art's Repair.

Gas Fireplace Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Lincolnwood, IL
I purchased this Big Deal because my electric fireplace needed work done - I think it needs a new starter. The company responded that they don't do this type of work. So, I have to find someone else. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Arrived early on a day when there was snowstorm in Chicago. Cleaned fireplace thoroughly and looks very good after the cleaning. He took the fireplace all apart and cleaned every piece of it. It was tested after cleaning and provided information on how to maintain.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Lincolnwood, IL
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
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.
