When it comes to warmth and ambiance, gas fireplaces offer the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. But like any home appliance, they require routine maintenance and expert installation to perform safely and efficiently. At A Clean Sweep, we specialize in servicing, repairing, and installing gas fireplaces throughout Northern Colorado, delivering comfort and peace of mind since 1985.

Why Regular Fireplace Service Matters

Gas fireplaces may appear simple, but they’re powered by a network of precise components and sensors. If dust, pet hair, insects, or carbon buildup interfere with how those parts communicate, your system could malfunction—or even become a safety hazard.

Regular servicing helps:

Maintain efficient ignition and flame control
Prevent blockages and carbon monoxide backdrafts
Extend the life of your fireplace
Ensure the system remains safe and responsive

We recommend service at least once a year, especially if the fireplace is used frequently or exposed to indoor pets and seasonal pests.

What Happens During a Service Call?

Our trained technicians follow a thorough checklist during each visit, including:

Meter readings to assess performance
Carbon and soot removal from burners, pilots, and thermocouples
Igniter and blower testing for proper operation
Ventilation checks to avoid backdrafts
Cleaning logs, debris, pet hair, and insects like spider mites and moths
Final test firing to ensure peak performance post-service

We even clean the fireplace glass, restoring visibility and shine.

Transforming Spaces with Custom Fireplace Installation

We don’t just service fireplaces—we help design and install them, too. Whether you're remodeling or upgrading from wood to gas, we handle every detail, including:

Gas line routing and connection
Venting and exterior wall access
Custom framing and tile work

Take, for example, a recent client who wanted to surprise her husband with a built-in fireplace. Over the course of a year, we worked on her timeline, carefully planning each step—from selecting the right model to installation. The result? A sleek, modern fireplace built into their living room shelving—a cozy upgrade and a memorable project.

Addressing Safety Concerns Before They Become Hazards

One client called after feeling warmth above their fireplace. Our tech couldn’t see the issue from the outside, so we conducted a Level 3 inspection, cutting a small hole in the wall to reveal pyrolysis (charring caused by heat exposure). The previous install hadn’t met proper clearance standards.

We reframed the space, added fire-safe spacing, completed a full reinstall, and finished the area with custom tile work—ensuring both beauty and safety.
