Propane Fireplace Maintenance

Propane is a clean-burning fuel, but that does not mean that you can skip your yearly upkeep.

If you rely on gas heating for your home, it’s important to have your unit inspected every year by a professional technician. 

If you’ve skipped your last fireplace service call, book an appointment today with Bryan’s Fuel.

Our team of technicians will ensure that your unit is operating safely and efficiently by inspecting your burners, checking gas lines for leaks, and removing any excess soot from within the interior of your fireplace.

What Does a Propane Fireplace Service Include?

✔ Testing the safety shut-off switch

If You Notice Any of The Following, Contact Us Immediately:

Problems with Pilot Light

If your pilot light won’t stay lit, there could be a range of problems from a broken thermopile to  faulty wiring. We recommend referring to your owner’s manual to review the steps to ignite your pilot light but, if you are unsuccessful, we are here to help. 

Excess Soot

It’s normal for wood-burning fireplaces to collect soot over time, but if you have a propane fireplace and see soot, it indicates an issue. If the doors, logs, or vents of your fireplace are covered in soot or black marks, call us to check it out as soon as possible.

Strange Noises

If your fireplace is making loud and unfamiliar noises, it is most likely due to dirty burners or a problem with the blower. It is often the case that a blower replacement might be necessary but an experienced HVAC technician will be able to identify the problem quickly and recommend an appropriate solution.

“Rotten Egg” Stench

If your fireplace gives off the stench of rotten eggs, it could be the result of a gas leak. The scent is caused by a non-toxic chemical called “mercaptan”, which is purposefully included in your fuel supply as a warning mechanism for gas leaks. If you notice this smell emitting from your propane fireplace, exit your home immediately and call a professional to help.
