This applies to gas fireplace safety in the same way as it would apply to wood-burning fireplace safety! The bare minimum for\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">keeping your gas fireplace operating safely is to have it checked by a professional once every year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These yearly inspections are critical for ensuring the components of your gas fireplace haven\u2019t deteriorated, loosened their connections, or built-up with byproducts of combustion that can lead to problems.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0While no wood is being burned, combustion is still happening which means your fireplace needs to be safely containing the heat and exhausting harmful gasses produced inside the firebox.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Especially\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">here\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">in\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">southeast\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Michigan and\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">northwest\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ohio, where the winter freezing and thawing period can be harsh, any chimney can experience significant masonry damage.

Fortunately, gas fireplaces are extremely safe. However, they are a possible source of carbon monoxide in your home, which means you need to stay alert to leaks of this harmful gas.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike smoke, carbon monoxide is completely invisible and odorless. You won\u2019t be able to tell if it\u2019s in the air without a specialized carbon monoxide detector. Every home should have these installed regardless, as any gas appliances can leak it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the bare minimum, you should have them in your home around the room where your fireplace is, and in rooms where you often spend time \u2013 family rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Gas Fireplaces Doors Can Get Hot<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gas fireplaces are a popular way for homes to\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctorflue.com\/blog\/heating-your-home-with-a-fireplace\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">zone heat\u00a0certain rooms<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Of course, this means that protective layer closest to the fireplace will also get hot \u2013 the\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">glass panel<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. While most adults are aware of the threat from fires,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">curious children may wander too close or even put their<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">hands directly on the glass.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Particularly cautious homeowners can look at barriers that add additional layers of protection between the interior and exterior of the fireplace. This helps mitigate some risks, but heat will always find a way through. It\u2019s important for any family home with a gas fireplace to spend time educating their kids on gas fireplace safety<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0like staying a few feet away from the fireplace!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keep Flammable Objects Away<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Direct contact isn\u2019t the only risk with a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctorflue.com\/gas-fireplaces.php\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">gas fireplace<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Hearths and mantels around a fireplace are a favorite place for decorations, especially during the holiday seasons. The risk for homeowners comes when these decorations are placed too close to the source of the heat, such as streamers that hang down or other easily flammable objects that will experience dire<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ct heat from the fireplace.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Again, gas fireplaces can be safer than wood burning fireplaces, but they still pose the same risks as any heat source. The closer a flammable object is, the greater the chance of an unexpected ignition!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t Run Your Fireplace Unsupervised<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Vented gas fireplaces can technically be run indefinitely. When in proper working order, the byproducts of combustion will be exhausted safely out of your home and your air quality won\u2019t be adversely affected. Of course, any appliance has the potential for failure, which is why it\u2019s important not to run your gas fireplace when you won\u2019t be around to check in from time to time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you have children or pets, one errant hit could crack the glass of your fireplace while you aren\u2019t looking. This could lead to leaking gas. It also exposes them to risks of simply being unsupervised near a burning applian<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ce.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gas fireplace safety for\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctorflue.com\/gas-inserts.php\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">ventless fireplaces is even more important<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.
