Q: How do I know if I need to repair my gas fireplace?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:</p><ul><li><p>Your fireplace pilot light won&rsquo;t stay on.</p></li><li><p>You notice the smell of rotten eggs.</p></li><li><p>You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.</p></li><li><p>You notice a soot build-up.</p></li><li><p>The fire goes out unexpectedly.</p></li></ul><p>If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-gas-leak.htm">gas leak</a>, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint a fireplace with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.</p></div>

Q: Why does my fireplace glass turn black so fast?

• <div><p>If there&rsquo;s a draft within your fireplace, it can lead to a weakening of its flame. And when the fire burns the wood, it won&rsquo;t burn effectively, resulting in a build up of soot and smoke. If you notice this happening, you&rsquo;ll want to inspect the glass to see where the draft is getting in. You can also hire a fireplace repair pro to do the work for you. </p></div>

Q: Can a wood-burning stove be vented through the wall?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to install a wood-burning stove through the wall. The process is similar to venting the stove through the ceiling, but you&rsquo;ll need to be careful of electrical wiring, plumbing, studs, and other potential obstructions in your walls. If you&rsquo;re not comfortable with this type of work, call a professional who installs wood-burning stoves. </p></div>

Q: What is the best style of chimney cap?

• <div><p>The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.</p></div>
