Your gas fireplace is extremely convenient and inexpensive to use. One essential task for homeowners who enjoy gas fireplaces is to have a safety check and cleaning service done on their fireplace. All gas lines and connections will be checked, ensuring that carbon monoxide and other dangerous emissions are not posing a risk to your family.
Gas fireplace cleaning can sometimes seem strange, as they have a very low production of ashes and dirt. But having your gas fireplace cleaned and inspected by a certified professional each year is important to the health of your home and the safety of the unit. Dust and debris can be inside and will build up, damaging the operation of a top-of-the-line fireplace. Catch any issues right away, ensure the fittings are secure and rest easy the next time you flip that wall switch.

We saw good question (and answer) about gas fireplaces in the Boston Globe yesterday:
Q. I had a gas fireplace installed in my 2007 house. It is fueled by propane because there is no gas on the street. The pilot light has gone off repeatedly. A faulty part was replaced without much success. Someone thought there was not enough pressure from the propane, and increased the pressure. Still with no success. In December the pilot went out again and it cost me $95 to turn it on, and failed again in a few hours. Now what?
RIPPING MAD
A. Good question. Boosting pressure? Maybe. This might work: Replace the pilot with electronic ignition. Finally, was the unit designed for propane? Check with the installer. And since professionals have been dealing with this for months without success, perhaps a whole new unit is in order. Or replace the unit with a pellet stove, one that has a power vent through the wall and it doesn’t need a pilot.
