Does your gas fireplace need to be cleaned?

The Wood Stove shares thoughts about gas fireplace cleaning

When fireplace cleaning comes to mind, you may envision someone looking like they came out of the Mary Poppins movie covered in soot coming to clean your chimney. In reality, most gas fireplace cleaning involves cleaning out dirt, debris, and spider webs that can clog or even block your gas lines. Your gas fireplace needs to be cleaned and inspected once a year to ensure it is in safe operating condition. A faulty chimney vent, a fireplace that will not stay lit, or a weak pilot light can be hazardous to your home and family.

● Gas fireplaces need cleaning annually

● Have your gas lines and chimney inspected

● Regular yearly cleaning minimizes damage risk to your fireplace

Moreover, gas fireplaces are much easier to maintain than wood-burning fireplaces. Having started The Wood Stove and fireplace business over 45 years ago in the Asbury Park area, I can tell you from first-hand experience that even gas fireplaces need regular cleaning, gas lines need to be inspected, and your chimney needs to be inspected to prevent fire hazards, and check for gas leaks. This will increase the lifespan of your fireplace. The Wood Stove has been offering gas fireplace services in the Monmouth County area for years.

I understand that you may not feel comfortable cleaning fireplace burner ports, working with the pilot light, or adjusting the other gas features. That is why I always recommend leaving chimney cleaning to the professionals at The Wood Stove in Ocean.

Furthermore, chimney sweeping requires specialized tools to clean exterior chimneys and clear blockages. Most of the time I recommend bundling all of your chimney services at once. Having your chimney cleaning, chimney inspection, and your gas fireplace cleaning done all at once to save time and money.
