Common Fireplace Repair Services
Many homeowners choose gas fireplaces over wood-burning because they’re low maintenance and have advanced features like remote control start and stop. But, if you don’t keep your system well-maintained, you may run into issues requiring repair from a certified technician.
Here are the most common problems owners of gas fireplaces run into.
Gas Odors
Natural gas has a distinctive gas odor to alert people of gas leaks. While natural gas isn’t toxic like carbon monoxide is, it is highly flammable. If you smell gas, turn off any appliances that have pilot lights, don’t light matches, open the windows, and call a gas repair company for help.
Pilot Light Issues
The pilot light is the spark your gas fireplace needs to ignite. Drafts sometimes cause pilot lights to go out, and sometimes, it’s a reduction in the flow of gas that’s to blame. If you have difficulty keeping your pilot light lit, call a professional to diagnose the problem.
Odd Noises
Although your gas fireplace doesn’t burn logs, dirt can accumulate in the system, causing unusual roaring, rumbling, or grinding sounds. In most cases, a professional burner cleaning will solve this problem.
Thermopile or Thermocouple Issues
The thermopile and thermocouple are the components that help ignite the fireplace; the age and model of your system determine which sensor you have. If the sensor wears out or malfunctions, you end up with ignition problems.
At Grand Canyon Home Services, we want you to get the most enjoyment out of your gas fireplace. Call us when you need repairs!
How to Maintain a Gas Log Fireplace
Although gas fireplaces are more efficient and require less maintenance than wood, that doesn’t mean you can install them and forget it.
Here are some easy-to-follow tips to keep your fireplace in tip-top shape.
Turn Off the Pilot Light
Before performing any maintenance tasks, turn off the pilot light and let the system cool down. Also, during the summer months, turning off the pilot light will save you money on your monthly gas bill.
Clean the Glass
Remove the glass using the instructions in your user’s manual and place them on a soft surface, then clean both sides with a soft cloth and fireplace cleaner. Only use approved fireplace glass cleaner because traditional glass cleaning products can leave chemical residue on the glass, which can cause damage and noxious odors.
Clean the Louvers
Using a microfiber cloth, clean the louvers to remove dust and grime. If your system doesn’t have louvers, check the air cavities for dust buildup and debris.
Perform a Visual Inspection
Take time to inspect the fireplace for bubbling or peeling spots carefully. Issues like these indicate you may have a leak, which puts your family at risk.
Call a Pro
As with a wood-burning fireplace, it’s good to call a professional for annual maintenance and inspection to ensure your fireplace runs safely and efficiently.

FAQs
Gas fireplace repair cost varies depending on the issue, parts needed, and labor involved. Simple fixes like thermocouple replacement may cost less, while repairs involving gas valves or blowers can be higher. We provide upfront pricing after diagnosis so you know exactly what to expect.
If your gas fireplace is not lighting, troubleshooting should include checking the pilot light, inspecting the ignition system, and testing the thermocouple.
Annual gas fireplace service is recommended to keep the system running safely and efficiently.
Most gas log fireplaces can operate without electricity if they use a standing pilot light. However, models with electric ignition or blowers may require power to function fully.
