Gas Fireplace Services
Clean, convenient, and low-maintenance — but not no-maintenance. We keep gas fireplaces burning safely.
Gas fireplaces offer the warmth and ambiance of a fire with the flip of a switch, and they burn far cleaner than wood. But 'low-maintenance' isn't 'no-maintenance': gas units still need inspection of the venting, burner, and connections, and their glass, logs, and components benefit from regular cleaning to look and perform their best.
Frank & Sons services gas fireplaces and inserts — inspection, cleaning, and venting checks — so yours operates safely and reliably. Because gas involves combustion and venting, the safety checks matter just as much as they do for wood, even if the maintenance rhythm is different.
Signs your gas fireplace needs service
- Weak, uneven, or unusually yellow/sooty flames.
- A pilot that won't stay lit or an ignition that struggles.
- Soot building up on the glass or logs.
- A faint gas smell (shut it off and call promptly).
- It simply hasn't been inspected in over a year.
What gas fireplace service includes
We inspect the burner, log placement, pilot and ignition, venting, and connections, checking for the corrosion, soot, or venting faults that signal a combustion problem. Proper venting is essential — combustion byproducts must exit safely — so it's a central part of every gas service.
We also clean the glass, arrange and clean the logs, and tidy the burner area so the flames look right and the unit performs well. The goal is a gas fireplace that's both safe and satisfying to use.
Why it matters in Greater Pittsburgh
Gas fireplaces are common in Pittsburgh's newer construction and in older homes converted away from wood. Those conversions in particular deserve a knowledgeable eye, since venting and connections from a past retrofit aren't always done to standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Even though they burn clean, the venting, burner, and connections need regular inspection for safety. Problems like venting faults or corrosion aren't visible during normal use.
That can indicate incomplete combustion — worth having checked promptly, as it affects both performance and safety. We diagnose the cause during service.
Turn it off, avoid ignition sources, ventilate, and call your gas utility if the smell is strong. Then have the unit professionally inspected before using it again.
