Did you know that your gas fireplace needs to be serviced every year to ensure safe operation?
If you are like most people living in the Fort Worth area, you are probably unaware of this gas fireplace servicing necessity.
It is recommended that a licensed service technician inspects your gas fireplace annually to ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of your gas unit.
For the safety of your home, it is recommended that both gas fireplaces and wood-burning fireplaces including stove inserts and pellet stoves be serviced once a year. Any time you have a live-fire burning in your home you want to make sure everything is performing at optimal efficiency for safety and reliability.
There are a lot of moving parts in gas fireplaces. Servicing those parts to make sure they have been adjusted appropriately and identifying when they need to be replaced will give you peace of mind when using your appliance. Those parts will also last longer when they are serviced on an annual basis saving you money in the long run.
Another thing to consider is that there is a higher risk of having a carbon monoxide issue due to parts wearing out if you do not get your fireplace inspected by a professional every year.
If you don’t use your gas unit often there is a possibility of bugs and spiders in the venting living and spinning webs. This can cause issues with proper venting and can also be a factor in causing a carbon monoxide issue.
So even though gas fireplaces don’t cause creosote build up like in a wood-burning fireplace there can still be issues with parts needing to be replaced or adjusted. A yearly inspection is the best solution to keeping your family safe from carbon monoxide leaks due to unexpected failure of worn-out parts.
