Gas Fireplace – the Benefits of an Annual Inspection
A lot of people forego their annual gas fireplace inspection in hopes of also foregoing the cost associated with such a checkup. But doing so could lead to more costly maintenance and repairs, leaving a large dent in your bank account, and/or removing one of your main heating sources over colder months.
A neglected appliance of any kind can fall prey to disaster, so by having your gas fireplace inspected annually, you can ensure the seasons in which you utilize it will be hassle-free.
Gas Fireplace – Vents, Flue and Chimney
Despite your fireplace not being wood burning, your vents, flue and chimney still need to be maintained for safety reasons and optimal air quality.
The faux logs utilized in a gas fireplace can break down over time and become trapped within your insert. Although there should be no reason this should be toxic, it can look unsightly – and if you’re about to sell your home, you will want everything to appear in tip-top shape.
