Gas Fireplace Check-Up Checklist
The various components of a gas heating appliance need to be checked regularly because many different things could potentially go wrong. A look at the checklist below can provide an idea of the importance of a gas heating unit tune-up:
- Combustion chamber – Clean, as needed
- Gas log – Check for signs of deterioration and replace as needed. Gas logs can last up to ten years, but there are many variables that can accelerate damage
- Burners – Clean and vacuum the burners as needed and then put fireplace elements back in place, as needed, such as logs and ember material
- Glass – Use the glass cleaning compound recommended by the manufacturer
- Ignition – Check and, as needed, make adjustments to improve performance
- Main burner combustion – Check to ensure safe operation
- Pilot – Clean and check
- Gas valve – Test to ensure proper operation
- System wiring – Check for signs of deterioration
- Venting – Check for condition and proper draft
- Thermocouple/powerpile – Check to ensure proper operation
- Remote/Thermostat – Check to ensure proper operation
- Gas logs – Check for signs of deterioration
- Carbon monoxide – Check to determine whether there are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide during the inspection
- Blower wheel – If accessible, check and, as needed, clean
Common Mistakes Made During Gas Fireplace Installation
- The valve installed for a gas fireplace must be the proper valve for that particular unit. There are many burner and valve systems to choose from, and that’s where a lot of the confusion can come in for those who are less experienced. Ultimately, a mistake on valve installation means that a hazardous charge of electricity could end up passing through the valve, which would likely then damage other components of the heating system linked to it.
- During installation, the vent pipe may be placed a dangerously close distance to combustible materials.
- The wrong vent pipe meant to route burnt combustion gases outside may be installed, preventing the appliance from operating safely.
