Gas Fireplace Repair FAQs
Who repairs a gas line to a fireplace?
A licensed plumber repairs the gas supply line, shutoff valve, and connections that feed your gas fireplace or log set. Heaton Plumbing handles fireplace gas line repair, replacement, and new installations, and pressure tests the line before relighting.
Why won’t my gas fireplace light?
Common causes include a closed or partially closed gas valve, a pilot light that will not stay lit, a dirty or failing thermocouple or thermopile, a faulty igniter, or a supply problem in the gas line. We test the gas supply and components to find the cause.
Why does my fireplace pilot light keep going out?
A pilot that goes out repeatedly is often caused by a dirty pilot assembly, a weak or failing thermocouple, drafts, or low gas supply. Cleaning or replacing the affected part usually solves the problem.
Can you run a new gas line for a fireplace or gas logs?
Yes. We install gas lines and shutoff valves for new gas fireplaces and log sets, including conversions from wood-burning fireplaces where a gas line needs to be added. See our gas line services for more on new installations.
What should I do if I smell gas near my fireplace?
Turn off the fireplace key valve if you can do so safely, then leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside if the smell is strong. Do not light the fireplace or use switches near it. Once the area is safe, call us for gas leak detection and repair.
Should I have my gas fireplace checked before winter?
Yes. A quick check before the first cold snap confirms the gas supply, valve, pilot, and connections are working and tight, so you are not discovering a problem on the first cold night of the year.
