Q: How often should a fireplace be checked?

• <div><p>You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you&rsquo;re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.</p></div>

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: What maintenance helps keep fireplaces and chimneys in good condition?

• <div><p>Creosote control, maintaining cap mesh integrity, and swift repairs keep systems robust.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces need chimney caps?

• <div><p>If your gas fireplace is vented through a chimney, a chimney cap is highly recommended. While not all gas fireplaces require a traditional chimney, for those that use one, a cap provides several key benefits. It prevents rain, debris, and animals from entering the chimney, which can cause blockages or damage. A cap also helps prevent downdrafts that could push harmful gases like carbon monoxide back into your home. When installing a cap, ensure it is appropriate for a gas fireplace and does not restrict proper ventilation.</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>

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.

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:

Your fireplace pilot light won’t stay on.
You notice the smell of rotten eggs.
You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.
You notice a soot build-up.
The fire goes out unexpectedly.

If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a gas leak, 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.

Creosote control, maintaining cap mesh integrity, and swift repairs keep systems robust.

If your gas fireplace is vented through a chimney, a chimney cap is highly recommended.
