How to do it — step by step
Gas fireplaces don't produce creosote, but they still need annual professional inspection. A certified technician will check the burner, ceramic logs, pilot light, thermocouple, gas valve, and venting for carbon monoxide leaks or blockages. They'll also clean the glass and test the igniter. Neglecting this can lead to dangerous CO buildup or gas leaks. Average cost: $100–$175.
