Gas Fireplace Repair

Professional Gas Fireplace Repair in Asheville & Western NC

When a gas fireplace stops working, it usually does it on the coldest night of the year — and in Western North Carolina, where many homeowners lean on a gas fireplace for real and backup heat, getting it fixed fast matters. Steady Flame Fireplaces repairs gas fireplaces, inserts, logs, and stoves across the region, and because we're a licensed gas contractor, we can safely diagnose and fix everything from a stubborn pilot to a bad gas valve — the components a general handyman shouldn't be touching. We troubleshoot the whole system: ignition, gas supply and pressure, safety controls, venting, and combustion.

Most gas fireplace failures come down to a handful of culprits, and we know where to look. A unit that won't light is usually a dirty or failed pilot assembly, a weak thermocouple or thermopile, a fouled igniter, or a clogged burner orifice — often from spiders and dust that move in over the off-season. A fireplace that lights but won't stay lit typically points to a failing thermocouple or a millivolt voltage problem. Sooting, a lazy or yellow flame, or an odor usually means the burner is out of adjustment, the logs are misplaced, or the unit is set for the wrong fuel. A blower that rattles or won't run is often a worn motor or a tripped limit. We carry common parts and fix the majority of gas fireplace problems in a single visit.
