Gas Log Fireplace Repair Services
Nothing beats gathering around a fireplace on a cold evening. The warm, flickering glow adds a relaxing ambience to any room.
While you might miss some of the charm of a wood-burning fireplace, a gas log fireplace is an excellent substitute, offering energy efficiency and warmth without the fuss of soot and ash.
Gas log fireplaces can work efficiently for many years, but over time parts start to wear out—Meetze Plumbing offers same-day gas fireplace repairs whenever you suspect a problem. We’re open seven days a week, so you’ll always have the service when you need it.
Signs of Gas Log Fireplace Issues
As you use your gas log fireplace and become familiar with how it functions, you’ll be the first to notice if something seems off. Here are a few signs that tell you it might be time to address gas log issues:
- Cracked and Chipped Logs: Gas logs are made from ceramic, so when they chip or crack, they aren’t able to heat efficiently. This can even cause them to burst apart, throwing hot ceramic pieces across the room.
If you notice any chips or cracks on your logs, call us immediately for a gas log repair, and keep the fireplace off until the damaged logs have been replaced.
- Uneven Flames: Turn your fireplace on, and watch the flames closely. Do the flames look uneven? Are any areas of the logs unlit? If so, you may have a blockage in the gas feed and need a gas fireplace repair. Our experienced technicians can check the line and burner to get to the root of the problem.
- Won’t Ignite or Shut Off: This is a pretty obvious one, but it’s a sure sign of an issue, like a faulty gas valve or igniter. Your gas log fireplace may simply need some elbow grease to clean out potential blockages. Give us a call to assess the problem and get your fireplace back to burning clean and efficiently.
- Unusual Noises or Popping: Snapping and popping noises are expected with wood-burning fireplaces, but not with gas log fireplaces—they are mostly quiet. If you hear any snaps, crackles, or pops, it can be a serious problem. Turn off both the fireplace and the gas valve until a gas fireplace service technician arrives.
- Unfamiliar Smells or Odors: While it’s commonly said that natural gas has no odor, gas companies add a smell into it for safety. An unusual odor coming from your gas fireplace could be a very serious issue. Shut off the gas valve and call one of our experienced technicians for a gas fireplace service.
When to Repair or Replace
If you’re wondering how to fix gas fireplace problems, it might be time to call in an expert for a service inspection. Gas log fireplaces can work efficiently for up to 10 years, depending on how often they’re used and overall quality.
So, if your fireplace is aging, or you suspect any of the issues listed above, schedule a gas fireplace service with us. Our expert technicians can help you determine whether you need some repairs or a complete replacement.
They can also talk to you about setting up a maintenance routine to extend the life of your gas log fireplace and keep it running at peak efficiency year-round.
If it turns out that a replacement makes the most sense, we can help you determine the best type of gas log fireplace for your home, such as highly efficient vented gas logs.
Keep Your Fireplace Burning Bright with Annual Maintenance
Gas log fireplaces are highly efficient, and when maintained well, they can last you many years. Keeping them clean is vital to keeping problems at bay, and some of this you can do yourself if you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
However, we recommend that you have a thorough inspection by a skilled technician at least once a year to ensure the safety and longevity of your fireplace.
Our annual gas log fireplace maintenance services include a meticulous inspection and cleaning of your entire system:
- Gas line & shut-off valve
- Fireplace inserts
- Doors
- Gas logs
- Igniter & burners
- Grate
- Vents
If our technicians notice any suspicious wear on parts, they can replace it right then so you can keep enjoying a clean, functioning fireplace.

We offer same-day service and maintenance calls, every day of the week. Just give us a call, and we’ll dispatch an experienced, licensed technician to inspect and repair your fireplace.
