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.
