🔩 Key Fireplace Parts We Inspect and Replace
Gas fireplaces contain sensitive components that must work in harmony for safe and efficient heating. Over time, these parts wear out, accumulate debris, or fail. Our repairs include full servicing of the following:
- Thermopile: Converts heat into voltage to power the gas valve—essential for keeping the fire going.
- Thermocouple: A safety sensor that shuts off gas when no flame is detected.
- Pilot Assembly: Responsible for igniting the burner—if it’s dirty or damaged, ignition may fail.
- Gas Valve: Regulates gas supply—faulty valves are common sources of heat failure.
- Flame Sensor: Detects flame presence and communicates with the gas control board.
- Igniter: Creates the initial spark—often fails in humid or dusty conditions.
We only use manufacturer-approved parts and carry spares for most major brands during our visits to minimize delays.
