Gas Fireplace Service, Maintenance, and Repair
Routine Gas Fireplace Service and Inspection
One of the biggest advantages of gas fireplaces over traditional wood-burning fireplaces is convenience. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces provide heat at the flick of a switch. Additionally, with gas fireplaces, you don’t have to worry about all that ash and soot in your chimney. Gas fireplaces are also one of the best options when it comes to outdoor firepits and living spaces. This is because the “on-demand” convenience of gas fireplaces gives you complete control over when you want the fireplace or firepit to be on or off—it’s as easy as flipping a switch.
The cost savings is also a concern for many homeowners. A common question many homeowners are is, “are gas fireplaces more economical than the wood-burning counterparts?” According to a study done by Woodland Direct, gas logs saved consumers an average of just over 40% on average.
Gas fireplaces are typically broken up into two types of categories: vented and ventless. When contacting Northco Fire, it may help us understand your specific needs by knowing which type of fireplace you have. If you’re not sure about which type of gas fireplace you have, no problem. Give us a call and we’re happy to set up a consultation to better understand your gas fireplace service needs.
Whether you have a ventless or vented insert, Northco Fire can assist in properly servicing your fireplace. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
