Gas Fire Servicing

If your gas fire isn’t working as as it should, an annual gas fire service might be needed. During a gas fire servicing visit, our engineer will clean and inspect key components like the burners, ignition system, and ventilation to ensure everything is running smoothly. We’ll also check your chimney or flue for blockages or damage, as these can affect airflow and lead to safety issues like carbon monoxide leaks. Regular servicing keeps your gas fire safe, efficient, and ready to provide reliable warmth whenever you need it.

Pilot Light Failures:

A pilot light that keeps going out can be frustrating. We’ll identify the cause, whether it’s a draft, dirty components, or a faulty thermocouple, and resolve it efficiently. If your pilot light is yellow rather than blue, turn your fire off immediately and contact a gas safe registered engineer.

Sooting up.

If your gas fire is “sooting up” it means that black soot is accumulating on the fire or surrounding surfaces, sooing up is dangerous, you must stop using your fire if you see soot like in the picture. This is a common issue that can indicate incomplete combustion, poor ventilation, or a problem with the burner. Regular servicing is crucial to prevent sooting. During a service, our engineers will clean the burners, check the ventilation, and ensure the gas fire is burning correctly to prevent soot build up.

How often should I service my gas fire?

It’s recommended to service your gas fire annually. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, identify potential safety issues, and keep your fire running efficiently. A professional gas fire service will include a thorough inspection or the fire, chimney / flue along with cleaning, and testing of all components.

**IMPORTANT** If you’re experiencing physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, or dizziness, these could be signs of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, which can occur if your gas fire isn’t burning properly. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly if inhaled in large amounts. If you suspect CO poisoning, it’s critical to turn off your gas fire, ventilate the area, and seek immediate medical attention. Regular servicing of your gas fire can help prevent CO buildup and ensure your safety.

How long should it take to fix a gas fire?

It really depends on what’s wrong with your gas fire.  Most repairs can be completed in under 2 hours.

There are factors that may affect the amount of time required including:

  1. Availability of Parts: If certain parts need to be ordered, it can cause a delay in the repair process.  Sometimes the gas fire manufacturer will have to be contacted in order to provide us with the correct part number.
  2. Age and Model of the gas fire: Older or uncommon gas fires may take time to repair due to difficulties in finding replacement parts or not commonly seen setups.
