Gas fireplaces also require routine maintenance and service to ensure their proper working order and one of the best times to have your gas fireplace serviced and cleaned is in the fall before the cold weather sets in. Stay safe. Learn important safety tips that should be followed when using gas fireplaces.

Tip 1

Before using gas fireplaces this season, it is important to take the time to have a routine inspection and annual maintenance completed by a Gas Fireplace Service Company such as Furnace Experts (416) 907-0594. Most manufacturers recommend that gas fireplaces be inspected before use and checked annually by a qualified professional service person. Consider having the fireplace checked and serviced along with any other gas appliances such as your Furnace, cleaning both at the same time will usually save you money. Furnace Experts offers special pricing if you have your furnace and gas fireplace tune up at the same time call 416-907-0594 for details



Remember if your pilot continually goes out, there is a reason! Have it serviced

Tip 2
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions in the owner’s manual, or use the care guide for maintenance and use of your gas fireplace. If you can’t locate your service manual then try to download it from the manufacturers website using the model and serial number located on the rating plate usually located in the bottom compartment of the gas fireplace.

If you smell gas, immediately shut off the gas valve leading to the fireplace and have your fireplace serviced by a qualified, certified technician from Furnace Experts

Tip 3

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in a room with a gas fireplace, the glass and the outside of the unit can reach extremely high temperatures very quickly the glass of a gas fireplace heats up to 200° Celsius (400° F) in just 6 minutes and takes 45 minutes to cool down to a safe temperature. A child who touches a surface this hot will suffer a serious burn instantly. Make sure children understand that the glass can burn them. It is also important to be aware that the pilot light of a gas fireplace may also heat the glass enough to cause a burn.


Drywall dust and other contaminants can harm the fan, motors and burners

Tip 4
Do not clean your gas fireplace if it is operational or still hot. Wait for the unit to cool completely before wiping the glass with a damp cloth.

Tip 5
If the pilot light or flame goes out, wait five minutes or longer before attempting to relight the fireplace. This allows time to clear the gas fireplace of any unburned gas.

Tip 6

Due to high temperatures, keep combustible materials such as furniture, curtains and rugs away from the fireplace. Do not store gasoline or other flammable materials in the area of your fireplace.

Tip 7
Even if your gas fireplace is vented to the outside, Gas fireplaces do emit a small amount of carbon monoxide and you want to be sure that your carbon monoxide detector is always on and functioning properly.

Tip 8
