Reliable Gas Fireplace Cleaning & Maintenance Services
Gas fireplaces are known for their convenience, comfort, and clean-burning efficiency—but like any appliance, they require regular maintenance to operate safely. At The Chimney Guards, we specialize in full-service gas fireplace cleaning and tune-ups across San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area cities.
From clogged burner ports to faulty pilot lights, our licensed technicians ensure every part of your fireplace is working as it should—giving you peace of mind before every burn season.
Why Gas Fireplace Maintenance Matters
Even though gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood, they still collect dust, debris, and residue over time. Without proper upkeep, these build-ups can lead to malfunctioning components, safety hazards, and even gas leaks.
Routine maintenance helps:
Prevent dangerous carbon monoxide exposure
Identify and resolve gas or pilot issues
Extend the life of your fireplace components
Improve performance and appearance
Keep your fireplace code-compliant and safe
Whether you use your gas fireplace daily or seasonally, an annual service ensures it’s ready when you need it most.

When Should You Service Your Gas Fireplace?
We recommend gas fireplace cleaning and inspection once a year, ideally before the cold season begins. You should also schedule a service if:
You smell gas or something unusual
The pilot light won’t stay lit
The flame looks weak, yellow, or irregular
You hear strange sounds when the fireplace runs
The unit hasn’t been serviced in over a year
You recently moved into a new home and don’t know the maintenance history
Regular maintenance ensures safe, efficient performance and helps you avoid costly repairs later on.
