Do gas fireplaces need servicing if they don't make creosote?

Yes. They produce little or no creosote, but they still depend on clear venting, a sound flue and a properly operating appliance. A seasonal check keeps everything drafting safely.

Do you work on pellet stoves too?

Yes — we service pellet-burning appliances along with gas logs and inserts, including their venting and connection to the flue.

What gas fireplace service involves

Why homeowners need it

Gas and pellet appliances don't produce the creosote a wood fire does, but they still rely on proper venting, a sound flue and a clean, correctly operating unit. Service keeps the venting clear, confirms the appliance is drafting safely, and catches problems before they affect performance or safety.
