Gas Fireplace Cleaning Seattle

It can get chilly in the winter or evenings in Seattle, Oregon in the Pacific NW.

Did you know that your gas fireplace needs to be serviced every year to ensure safe operation?

If you are like most people you were unaware of this 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.

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.

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 last longer when they are serviced on an annual basis saving you money in the long run.

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.

Seattle’s population historically has been predominantly white.^[37] The 2010 census showed that Seattle was one of the whitest big cities in the country, although its proportion of white residents has been gradually declining.^[129] In 1960, whites constituted 91.6% of the city’s population,^[37] while in 2010 they constituted 69.5%.^[128][130] According to the 2006–2008 American Community Survey, approximately 78.9% of residents over the age of five spoke only English at home. Those who spoke Asian languages other than Indo-European languages made up 10.2% of the population, Spanish was spoken by 4.5% of the population, speakers of other Indo-European languages made up 3.9%, and speakers of other languages made up 2.5%.

Seattle’s foreign-born population grew 40% between the 1990 and 2000 censuses.^[131] The Chinese population in the Seattle area has origins in mainland China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan. The earliest Chinese-Americans that came in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were almost entirely from Guangdong Province. The Seattle area is also home to a large Vietnamese population of more than 55,000 residents,^[132] as well as over 30,000 Somali immigrants.^[133] The Seattle-Tacoma area is also home to one of the largest Cambodian communities in the United States, numbering about 19,000 Cambodian Americans,^[134] and one of the largest Samoan communities in the mainland U.S., with over 15,000 people having Samoan ancestry.^[128][135] Additionally, the Seattle area had the highest percentage of self-identified mixed-race people of any large metropolitan area in the United States, according to the 2000 United States Census Bureau.^[136] According to a 2012 HistoryLink study, Seattle’s 98118 ZIP code (in the Columbia City neighborhood) was one of the most diverse ZIP Code Tabulation Areas in the United States.^[137]

It is estimated that King County has 8,000 homeless people on any given night, and many of those live in Seattle.^[141] In September 2005, King County adopted a “Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness”, one of the near-term results of which is a shift of funding from homeless shelter beds to permanent housing.^[142]

In recent years, the city has experienced steady population growth, and has been faced with the issue of accommodating more residents. In 2006, after growing by 4,000 citizens per year for the previous 16 years, regional planners expected the population of Seattle to grow by 200,000 people by 2040.^[143] However, former mayor Greg Nickels supported plans that would increase the population by 60%, or 350,000 people, by 2040 and worked on ways to accommodate this growth while keeping Seattle’s single-family housing zoning laws.^[143] The Seattle City Council later voted to relax height limits on buildings in the greater part of Downtown, partly with the aim to increase residential density in the city center.^[144] As a sign of increasing downtown core growth, the Downtown population crested to over 60,000 in 2009, up 77% since 1990.^[145]
