Count On Us for Gas Appliance Service & Repair in the Memphis Area

The best way to keep up on your gas appliance maintenance is to schedule regular inspections with a Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) -certified chimney technician, like the ones here at Coopertown Services.

Relining for Your Gas Venting System: Coopertown Services Can Help

One of the most common repairs needed for gas appliances is a relining of the flue.

It’s unfortunately all too common for a new appliance to be connected to an existing chimney, without any consideration given to the compatibility between the appliance and the flue.

A properly sized and paired flue and appliance is incredibly important, no matter what kind of fuel you’re burning. If the two are not compatible, the appliance will not work properly and safely, and soon draft problems will present themselves, leading to incomplete combustion and an increased risk of carbon monoxide exposure.

Flue or chimney relining can easily correct issues of compatibility, and restore the safety and functionality of both appliance and chimney. Whether your flue liner is improperly sized or inadequate maintenance has led to a corroded liner, we can replace the damaged (or improperly sized) liner with a better fit.

What Other Gas Fireplace Repair Services Do We Provide?

Gas fireplaces aren’t without their share of issues from time to time. The good news is that, by staying on top of any damages, malfunctions, or efficiency issues, you can rest easier knowing any system issues will be quicker and more affordable to address.

Some common repair services for gas fireplaces include:

  • Igniter & Pilot Light Repair: If your igniter or pilot light won’t start or stay lit, we can provide cleaning services, or replace the igniter or pilot assembly altogether to ensure better results.
  • Thermocouple or Thermopile Replacement: Sometimes homeowners struggle with their fireplace turning off after a few minutes or not staying lit. In this case, we may need to replace the thermocouple or thermopile (safety components that detect the presence of a flame and allow gas to flow).
  • Gas Valve & Control Replacement: Having difficulty controlling the flame? Fireplace not responding to control inputs? We’ll inspect your gas valve and replace it or the control modules, as needed.
  • Cleaning & Maintenance: Soot buildup…dirty glass…inefficient burning…many problems can be resolved with cleaning and maintenance services
  • Gas Log & Burner Replacement: If your logs are deteriorating or your burner is damaged, we can help you invest in – and appropriately install – proper replacement components.
  • Fan/Blower Repair: A fan or blower can help distribute heat in your space, but if it’s noisy or not working, a repair or replacement may be in order. We’ll check things over and see if cleaning or lubricating can resolve the issue. If not, we can get appropriate replacement parts.
  • Gas Leak Detection & Repair: If you smell gas or suspect any type of gas leak, don’t wait to reach out! Call emergency services first and foremost, then be sure to get us in for a thorough inspection once all is deemed safe.
  • Remote Control or Wall Switch Repair: Controls and wall switches are part of what make gas systems so convenient, but if they’re not operating correctly, you’ll find yourself without heat. We can repair or replace the remote control unit, wall switch, or associated wiring to restore functionality.
  • Thermostat Repair: Is your fireplace not responding to the thermostat settings? Inspecting and repairing or replacing the thermostat is a must.
  • Draft & Venting Issues: Experiencing poor draft, backdraft, or venting problems can really limit enjoyment and heat output. We’ll inspect/clean the system, check for blockages, and ensure proper installation to ensure all is working as it should – and find solutions if it isn’t.

All in all, regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your gas fireplace and ensure it operates safely and efficiently for many years to come. If you experience any issues, don’t wait to reach out – we’re here for you!

Why Should I Hire a Pro for Gas Fireplace Service & Repair?

DIY projects are more appealing than ever nowadays thanks to the countless online tutorials and how-to videos that are available with a press of a finger. That said, this is a classic case of…just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

When it comes to gas fireplaces (or any fireplace or chimney needs), hiring a professional is important for ensuring safety, efficiency, and proper code compliance. 

Professionals, like us, possess the expertise to safely handle gas lines, and we can take appropriate steps to avoid dangerous leaks, as well as ensure proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. In addition, we have the specialized knowledge and experience necessary to diagnose and repair issues accurately and efficiently, preventing further damage and saving you money in the long run.

We know DIY can seem like the most cost-effective approach, but correcting a job done wrong can wind up hitting your bank account harder than ever…is it really worth chancing it?

To sum up, trusting a pro is always the way to go. It not only guarantees that your fireplace functions reliably and efficiently, but also protects any warranties and helps you meet insurance requirements. Not to mention, hiring a professional provides peace of mind, knowing that your fireplace is functioning safely and efficiently for your family – can’t put a price on that.

Don’t Forget Your Furnace & Water Heater Flue

The byproducts coming from your gas water heater or furnace are different from those coming from your wood fireplace. You won’t see dark soot, for instance, but that doesn’t mean these byproducts aren’t dangerous and damaging just the same. Burning propane and natural gas creates acidic, corrosive gases that can eat away at a flue – and addressing issues quickly is a must.

It’s incredibly important to keep up with the regular maintenance and repair requirements of every venting system in your home, and to remember that it’s not the only heating system in your home that needs regular attention.

Your gas furnace and water heater are venting through a hard-working chimney, too, and just like your fireplace and chimney, a damaged or improperly functioning gas furnace or water heater and chimney can lead to an unsafe home.
