Florida Center chimney service from a local family company

Florida Center is an Orlando neighborhood that takes in International Drive, and gas fireplaces in homes there need the same yearly attention as gas fireplaces anywhere. A gas unit does not build up creosote the way a wood fire does, but it does collect dust, lint and pet hair, and its burner, pilot, logs and glass all need a regular cleaning and check to keep working as designed.

Manufacturers such as Heat and Glo call for annual service by a qualified technician in their owner's manuals. A service visit covers the burner and pilot assembly, the logs or media and their placement against the maker's diagram, the glass and its gasket, the vent termination outside and the controls. Dust on the pilot can cause the flame to lift or the unit to shut down.

Logs that have shifted can catch the flame and leave soot on the glass. A cracked log or worn gasket is easier to replace on a planned visit than after the unit stops working in the first cool week. Owners who spend part of the year away, or who rent out a home, can arrange access in advance.

We confirm the visit with you, work with whoever lets us in and send the findings to you in writing. If a part is needed, you approve it before it is ordered. Keep up with the simple things between visits. Clean the glass only with the cleaner the manual names, and only when the unit is cold.

Keep furniture, decorations and anything that can burn well back from the front of the fireplace. If gas is suspected at any point, get everyone out of the house and call 911 or the gas utility from outside first. Our company is local and family owned.
