Repairing a gas fireplace takes the right tools, knowledge and experience to work safely with a gas appliance. Doctor Flue’s certified gas technicians save you the time and effort.
Gas Fireplace Service for Most Makes & Models
Our NFI certified gas technicians are trained to service your gas fireplace, whatever its make or model. Examples include:
- Direct vent, B-vent and top vent gas fireplaces
- Sand pan burners, vent-free and vented gas logs
- Freestanding gas stoves
Not Sure What Type of Gas Fireplace You Have?
The easiest way to find the make and model is in your owner’s manual.
If you no longer have the manual, look for the fireplace’s rating label or identification plate. It is often behind the lower louver. Remove the lower louver and check whether the label is attached to the gas line or stamped on the floor of the insert.
Gas Fireplace Repair by Certified Technicians
Most gas fireplace problems involve the pilot light, the main burner, or a maintenance item such as a noisy fan.
If your pilot light will not stay lit, there are three common causes: a bad pilot flame, a bad thermocouple sensor, or a bad main control valve. If the pilot light works but the main burner will not turn on, the cause could be larger, such as soot build-up blocking the flame or faulty wiring.
Whether the problem is new or one you have tried to fix yourself, we work on both newer and older models. Our NFI certified gas technicians are trained in current gas fireplace repair techniques, including repairs on:
- Pilot lights
- Spark ignitors
- Thermocouples
- Gas valves
- Fans

Annual Gas Fireplace Inspection & Sweeping
Gas appliance manuals call for annual service by a qualified technician, and most manufacturers suggest an NFI certified gas technician. Our gas technicians are certified by both the CSIA and the NFI. An annual inspection means your gas fireplace is ready whenever you want to use it.
When you hire Doctor Flue, inc. for your annual gas fireplace and chimney sweeping, you receive:
- Sweeping of your gas logs for a better glow pattern
- Removal of hazardous soot and carbon build-up
- Inspection of the valves for gas leaks
- An instant evaluation summary
Gas log sets are often overlooked. A simple gas log checkup can save you hundreds in replacement costs, and in most cases refurbishing can bring your log set back to a nearly new appearance.
