How Often Should Your Gas Fireplace Be Cleaned?
The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends that a gas fireplace that sees regular use gets a professional fireplace tech to clean it once a year. Of course, the best way to know when it’s time to be cleaned is to have it professionally inspected on an annual basis. It is best if this is performed before you burn the first fire of the season to make sure that no problems or blockages have developed over the course of the summer.
A fireplace blocked by debris can cause major problems, including inefficient heating, smoke buildup inside your home, deadly carbon monoxide buildup in your home, and even a damaging home fire. Having your gas fireplace serviced provides peace of mind that it is clean and operating as safely as possible. Think of it like changing the oil on your car — it is just part of the process of owning and operating a fireplace.
