Annual Wood Stove Maintenance Tips

It’s important that you take good care of your wood stove or gas stove. Annual maintenance is a must and should be handled by an experienced technician. All of the quality stove manufacturers agree on a list of general maintenance tasks that should be done on a yearly basis.

• Full chimney inspection and cleaning done by an experienced chimney sweep.
• Inspection of the stove gaskets, checking for wear and replacing the necessary components.
• Touch up the finish on your stove with matching high heat paint often available through your local stove shop.
• Adjust the stove door until you can maintain a tight and effective seal.
• Inspect the stove pipe, especially at the connectors, checking for wear, warping or other visible problems.
• On catalytic models, clean and inspect the catalyst and clean out the combustion system with a heavy duty vacuum.

Fireplace Village can take care of this annual maintenance for you, whether for wood stoves or gas stoves and covering all manufacturers. Our trained and knowledgeable staff can help extend the life of your heating appliance or get you into a new and improved wood, gas or pellet stove or fireplace.

Troubleshooting Common Problems | Staying Safe With Fireplace Maintenance

Wood Stove and Fireplace Service

We’ve talked about how important it is to choose the proper size fireplace or wood stove and why it’s essential to have that unit installed by a professional. But don’t forget the most important element of owning a fireplace or hearth product – regular maintenance.

Using a clean, properly operational fireplace, gas insert or wood stove is vital for the safety of your family. With the services of a certified chimney sweep you can ensure smoke and emissions have a clear path up and away from your living space. By having a qualified technician inspect your fireplace, you can be sure that all of the essential mechanisms and components are working well and that the hearth appliance is running at peak efficiency.

It pays to have a certified, experienced fireplace technician into your home every year.

Fireplace Village has knowledgeable, trained and experienced staff on hand to perform fireplace maintenance. We are also professional chimney sweeps and can handle all aspects of maintenance for any of the models we sell. Trust the pros who know.

Gas Stove Annual Maintenance is Highly Recommended

vermont_castings_radiance_gas_stove

Annual maintenance for your gas stove is just as important as it is for a wood stove. Although you may not have the ashes to clean out or the level of soot present with wood fuels, a gas stove has unique characteristics that require annual maintenance. Fittings and connections are important and can be very dangerous if not watched and checked regularly.

A trained technician will test and monitor the operation of many different aspects of your wood stove. Those tests will assure you that the stove is working well, efficiency is at the top of the chart and your home and family are safe. The expense is well worth it and your gas stove will appreciate the watchful attention.

Fireplace Village provides gas stove annual maintenance, gas stove service and repair of gas stoves. Fireplace Village and most gas stove manufacturers recommend annual inspection and cleaning of gas stoves. Regular or annual inspection and cleaning will help to ensure safe, proper and efficient operation. Gas stoves make excellent localized heat and ambiance sources and a direct vent gas stove can be installed in any room in the home (including the basement). Fireplace Village is the largest gas stove dealer in New Hampshire and New England. We have the largest burning gas stove display inventory in the country.
