Why Your Gas Fireplace Needs an Annual Service
What a yearly gas fireplace service covers and how it keeps your Marquis safe, efficient and under warranty.
A gas fireplace does not need much attention day to day, which makes it easy to forget about. A yearly service is the simple habit that keeps it safe, efficient and looking its best for years.
What a service visit covers
- Inspecting and cleaning the burner, pilot assembly and ignition
- Checking gas pressure and testing for leaks
- Cleaning the glass and checking the gasket and seal
- Repositioning logs or media for a natural flame pattern
- Inspecting the vent and termination for blockages
- Testing the remote, thermostat, fan and safety controls
Why it matters
Safety. A properly sealed and vented unit keeps combustion gases outside where they belong. Every home with a gas appliance should also have a working carbon monoxide alarm.
Efficiency. A clean burner and correctly set pressure give you more heat for the gas you pay for.
Warranty. Manufacturers expect regular maintenance by a qualified technician, so a service record helps if you ever need a warranty claim.
When to book
Late summer and early fall are ideal, before you rely on the fireplace every evening. Call the showroom at (250) 383-3512 to book a service visit.
