Seasonal Fireplace Cleaning & Maintenance is a Call Away
With years of experience in the hearth products business, CM Heating TM knows that it’s critical for both proper operation and safety that you maintain your fireplace, decorative gas stove, or gas log set. We offer a 37 point annual maintenance program that is designed to ensure the continued reliability and safe operation of your system. We do a complete examination and cleaning of your fireplace, gas stove, or gas log set.
All major gas appliances, including gas fireplaces, should be serviced annually as recommended by all major gas fireplace product manufacturers. Gas fireplaces are gas-fueled appliances and, as such, can be dangerous- and even hazardous- if not handled properly and if not serviced regularly by a qualified technician.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, poisonous gas formed by a gas furnace or gas fireplace that’s not operating properly. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, or if your carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately evacuate the home and call 911 from another location. If you do notice a suspicious odor coming from your gas fireplace, call a qualified service and repair technician promptly.
Regular tune-ups and preventative maintenance reduce the need for repairs over the life of your fireplace. Fewer repairs mean your fireplace costs less to operate. Not only that, a properly maintained gas fireplace runs more efficiently for longer, sometimes lasting twenty years or more.
Save Energy
As we mentioned previously, regular maintenance visits also help keep the monthly operational costs at a minimum. If any component of the electrical system isn’t working correctly, you can and will end up with inefficient electricity at home. Thus, this inefficiency will lead to excessive and needless energy expenditure. With a regular maintenance check, this can be avoided entirely.
Gas Fireplace Inspection Checklist
Electrical preventative maintenance services also save you money in the long run. First, these regular inspections help point out any need for minor repairs and adjustments, allowing you to avoid greater problems in the future.
Additionally, a poorly functioning electrical system can greatly affect the efficiency of your electricity. This will lead to high electricity bills. Luckily, such issues can be avoided with a regular maintenance inspection of your electrical systems.
