Gas Fireplace Maintenance in Gaithersburg, Maryland & DC
A gas fireplace adds ambiance and interest to your home, yet without regular maintenance, that fireplace can be more of a detriment than a benefit. Gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning options, but that doesn’t mean that they can be completely ignored — especially after a long winter.
Routine maintenance will help your gas fireplace give you years of reliable use, and James A. Wheat & Sons can help.
Call James A. Wheat & Sons today if your gas fireplace needs annual maintenance.
Self-Maintenance for Gas Fireplaces
Because of the clean-burning nature of gas fireplaces, some maintenance tasks may be handled on your own. These tasks include:
- Every month, clean the glass on your fireplace on both sides with glass cleaner to prevent it from becoming cloudy or permanently damaging the quality of the glass.
- Check inside the unit monthly for dust or spider webs, and clean as needed.
- Check the door to ensure it fits securely.
- Check the gasket to see if it’s cracked or missing pieces. If it is, get professional service to replace it immediately.
- Check the outside vent to see if it’s blocked by debris or bird nests, if your system has one.
These are things you can do every month to ensure a long service life of comfortable fire from your system. If you find any major problems during this monthly check, call James A. Wheat & Sons for gas fireplace service.

Professional Gas Fireplace Maintenance in MD & DC
While there are some things you can maintain on your own, it’s always best to have any item in your home that runs on gas thoroughly inspected by a trained professional at least once per year.
During this process, a maintenance professional will check for blockages, leaks, and other problems while thoroughly cleaning the system to keep it in top condition. Regular maintenance protects your family’s health and also ensures a full season of great service from your fireplace.
In addition, if a problem is found at the maintenance checkup, the technician will be able to fix it right away — possibly saving you from a major breakdown in the future. We recommend scheduling a maintenance inspection at least once per year.
