Why Timely Fireplace Repairs Matter
Gas fireplaces may be low-maintenance, but when something goes wrong, it can pose real safety risks. Delaying repairs can lead to gas leaks, carbon monoxide buildup, or permanent damage to the system.
Signs your fireplace needs repair include:
Pilot light won’t stay lit
Weak or flickering flame
Unusual smells (especially gas or soot)
Clicking, buzzing, or popping sounds
Fireplace shuts off randomly
Ignition failure
Remote or wall switch not working
Glass doors fogging up or staying dirty
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call The Chimney Guards.
