OUR FIREPLACE SERVICES
Gas Fireplace Repair
A gas fireplace that will not operate properly can have several possible causes. Ignition problems may involve the pilot assembly, thermocouple, thermopile, electronic controls, wall switch, remote receiver, wiring, batteries, gas valve or another system component.
Fireside Escapes provides professional gas fireplace diagnostics and repair throughout North Texas. We evaluate the reported problem, inspect accessible components and identify the likely cause before recommending parts or repairs.
Common service calls include:
• Fireplace will not turn on
• Pilot light will not ignite or stay lit
• Burner shuts off unexpectedly
• Delayed or hard ignition
• Remote or wall switch is not responding
• Fireplace beeps but will not start
• Weak, uneven or unusual flames
• Soot appearing on the logs, firebox or glass
LEARN ABOUT GAS FIREPLACE REPAIR
Fireplace Inspections
A professional fireplace inspection can help identify visible damage, installation concerns, maintenance needs and operating problems before the fireplace is used. Inspections are especially valuable when purchasing a home, returning an unused fireplace to service or noticing a change in operation.
Fireside Escapes provides visual, non-invasive fireplace inspections based on the fireplace type and selected level of service. We inspect accessible components and document observed conditions so homeowners can make informed decisions about maintenance or repairs.
Consider scheduling an inspection when:
• You recently purchased the home
• The fireplace’s service history is unknown
• The fireplace has not been used in several years
• Soot, discoloration or deterioration is visible
• The ignition or flame pattern has changed
• Water intrusion is suspected
• You want the system evaluated before operation
Gas Log Installation
Gas logs can provide the appearance of a wood fire with more convenient operation, but the log set must be compatible with the fireplace. Proper sizing, burner selection, ventilation requirements, log placement and clearances all affect performance and appearance.
Fireside Escapes provides professional gas log installation and replacement throughout North Texas. We work with vented and vent-free gas log systems when appropriate for the fireplace and application.
Our gas log services include:
• Replacement of older gas log sets
• Vented gas log installation
• Vent-free gas log installation when appropriate
• Burner and control upgrades
• Remote-control options
• Log placement and flame-pattern evaluation
• Compatibility and sizing assistance
Gas-line installation or modification is separate and may require a licensed plumber.
Chimney Repair
Chimney deterioration can allow water into the fireplace system and surrounding structure. Damaged caps, chase covers, crowns, mortar, siding and flashing should be evaluated before deterioration becomes more extensive.
Fireside Escapes provides chimney-related inspections and repair solutions for many masonry and factory-built fireplace systems. The appropriate repair depends on the chimney construction, location of the damage and extent of deterioration.
Common chimney concerns include:
• Rusted or damaged chase covers
• Missing or damaged chimney caps
• Water intrusion
• Deteriorated mortar joints
• Crown deterioration
• Damaged chimney siding or trim
• Factory-built chimney component concerns
• Visible deterioration around the fireplace or chimney
Gas Fireplace Maintenance
Gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning systems, but dust, debris and residue can still collect around the burner, pilot assembly, logs, controls and glass. Routine maintenance can help address minor operating problems and prepare the fireplace for seasonal use.
Our gas fireplace maintenance service may include cleaning accessible components, checking controls, evaluating the pilot and flame pattern and identifying visible conditions that may require repair. The exact service depends on the fireplace type, condition and accessibility.
Maintenance may be appropriate when:
• The fireplace has not been serviced recently
• Dust or residue is visible
• The glass has become cloudy
• Flames appear weak or uneven
• Ignition has become inconsistent
• The fireplace has been unused for an extended period
Dryer Vent Cleaning
A restricted dryer vent can reduce dryer performance, extend drying times and allow lint to accumulate within the vent system. Professional cleaning removes accessible lint and debris to help improve airflow through the dryer exhaust.
Signs that a dryer vent may need attention include:
• Clothes require multiple cycles to dry
• The dryer or laundry room becomes unusually warm
• A burning or overheated odor is present
• Lint collects around the exterior termination
• Airflow at the exterior vent appears weak
• The vent has not been professionally cleaned recently
Fireside Escapes provides dryer vent cleaning for qualifying residential systems throughout our North Texas service area.

A consultation can help with:
• Fireplace product selection
• Gas log selection and sizing
• Direct-vent fireplace options
• Replacement planning
• Preliminary installation considerations

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fireplaces do you service?
Fireside Escapes services many gas fireplaces, direct-vent fireplaces, factory-built systems and gas log configurations. Service and parts availability depend on the manufacturer, model, age and condition of the equipment.
Why won’t my gas fireplace light?
Possible causes include depleted batteries, a dirty or damaged pilot assembly, inadequate flame contact, a weak thermocouple or thermopile, a defective switch, remote or receiver problems, electronic ignition failure or a gas-supply issue. Diagnosis is recommended before replacing parts.
Do you sell fireplace parts directly?
We source model-specific components as part of approved fireplace repairs. We do not recommend selecting parts solely by appearance because similar components may have different specifications and compatibility requirements.
Do you install customer-supplied parts?
Fireside Escapes generally does not install customer-supplied fireplace parts. Sourcing the appropriate component helps us verify model compatibility and provide clearer responsibility for the completed repair.
Do you install gas logs?
Yes. We install and replace vented and vent-free gas log systems when appropriate for the fireplace. Gas-line installation or modification is separate and may require a licensed plumber.
Should I use my fireplace if I smell gas?
No. Stop using the fireplace. If the odor is strong or persistent, leave the property and contact your gas provider or emergency services from a safe location. Do not continue attempting to ignite the fireplace.
How do I schedule fireplace service?
Call Fireside Escapes at (972) 369-9000 or use the online scheduling form. When possible, provide photographs of the fireplace, controls and rating plate along with a description of the problem.
