He arrived on time and had adequate material to cover a path from our garage to the fireplace in our family room. I told him that we had not used our fireplace in 2 years and my wife wanted it checked before turning it back on. He said that it was not necessary to clean a gas fireplace every year because there is not the build up of resins that you get from burning wood. He brushed and vacuumed inside the fireplace and checked the damper. We talked about the current location of the gas valve (inside the fireplace) and he said that while it was not up current codes, he did not consider it a problem as long as I was comfortable using the valve. Todd also went outside and climbed on a ladder to inspect the chimney. He reported that there were some mild cracks in the crown but overall the chimney was in good condition. I suggested that he start a fire to make sure that everything was OK and that my wife would appreciate the warmth on such a cold day. However, a gas valve in our basement had been closed so he needed to find it and turn it back on. Todd was very conscientious and I enjoyed chatting with him. I appreciated his attention to detail and his honesty. He did not attempt to "up-sell" me into expensive, unneeded repairs as some of his competitors apparently do.

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Palatine, 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.
