Gas Fireplace Service Near Greeley, Colorado
Sometimes people don’t know that gas fireplaces also require annual inspections per their manufacturer’s installation manual. Although the inside of the chimney does not build up with black soot like a wood-burning fireplace or wood stove, there are still many safety related items that should be inspected on a gas fireplace. Our process involves the following:
- Removing and cleaning the glass door
- Opening and cleaning the convection air chamber under the firebox
- Checking the main burner for cracks and deterioration resulting in “hot spots”
- Cleaning the gas logs and the inside walls of the fireplace
- Turning the unit on and off to ensure proper burner ignition
- And more!
Why Choose Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Greeley?
Whenever you work with Midtown, our professional technicians will start by thoroughly examining your fireplace and chimney. This is called the annual Level 1 inspection, and we follow the National Fire Protection Associations multi-point chimney inspection process. Our technicians will  look for broken dampers, cracks in the masonry bricks, loose air shutters, and much more. One of the most important things they’ll check for is the level of soot buildup in wood-burning fireplaces, free-standing stoves, and pellet appliances.
Why is Chimney Sweeping Important?
Because soot, also called creosote, is flammable at higher temperatures. If soot isn’t cleaned out, it’ll “choke” the chimney and can fuel chimney fires. That’s why the National Fire Protection Association recommends regular inspections and sweepings.
Once Midtown has examined your fireplace and chimney, our technicians will recommend sweeping and repair services designed to protect your home. If your wood-burning fireplace needs sweeping, we’ll treat it with our modern cleaning system and HEPA centrifugal-gravity, dust-extracting, triple-filtration vacuum. The result is one of the most thorough cleanings you can imagine with a minimum of mess.
Great as that is, it’s not all that Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Greeley, Colorado can do for your home. We also offer dryer vent line cleanings because, just like a chimney, these lines and vents get clogged up.
