Don’t Ignore These 5 Warning Signs
Your fireplace often tells you when it needs attention. Schedule a service if you notice:
1. The Fireplace Won't Stay Lit
A pilot that won’t light or a burner that won’t turn on is a primary sign of an issue.
2. Yellow or "Lazy" Flames
A healthy flame is strong and blue. Yellow or floating flames indicate incomplete combustion.
3. A Persistent Rotten Egg Smell
This odorant is added to natural gas and LP. If you smell gas strongly, leave your home immediately and call your gas company from a safe distance.
4. Excessive Soot on Logs or Glass
This points to an improper fuel-air mixture that needs professional adjustment.
5. It's Been Over a Year
Annual maintenance is not a suggestion—it’s a critical step for safety, efficiency, and preventing costly future repairs.
