Our technicians test the ignition system, including the pilot light, thermocouple, and thermopile, to ensure reliable startup and efficient operation.

4. Gas Leak Detection and Venting Assessment

We check for any gas leaks in the connections and piping, as well as ensure that the venting system is clear and functioning correctly to safely remove combustion gases.

5. Performance Evaluation

We assess the overall performance of your fireplace, verifying proper flame patterns, heat output, and thermostat functionality.
