Gas fireplace won't light? Pilot out, switch dead, glass black with soot? Our techs diagnose it on the spot, fix it with real parts, and leave it burning clean — or tell you honestly what it needs.
Your information is kept private and used only for your fireplace service request.
This is the job, start to finish: the tech opens the fireplace, finds why it won't light, repairs it — then clicks the remote, and it fires. It starts playing when you reach it — tap the sound button on the video to hear the tech talk through the fix.

Gas fireplace clicked but wouldn't light. The tech found a bad igniter, swapped it, and had it burning in under an hour — showed me the old part, too.
Pilot kept dying every few days. They replaced the thermocouple, cleaned the burner, and now it lights first try, every time.
Called in the morning, fireplace fixed the same afternoon. Glass cleaned, logs reset — the flame looks brand new.
Honest company. Told me the valve was fine and it was just a clogged pilot assembly. Cleaned it, tested it three times, done.
Our remote stopped talking to the fireplace. They fitted a new receiver, paired the remote, and walked me through it. Easy, start to finish.
Soot all over the glass and a weak yellow flame. One service visit fixed both — the flame is blue and even again.
A bird got into the flue — scratching noises for two days. They removed it safely, checked everything, and capped the flue the same day.
Fireplace hadn't run in two winters. Inspection first, one part replaced, and it's the warmest room in the house again.
These are the real questions people type into search and AI assistants every day — answered plainly.
Check the pilot light and that the wall switch or remote has fresh batteries. If the igniter clicks but nothing catches, the problem is usually the igniter, thermocouple, or gas valve — all repairable, usually in one visit. Don't keep forcing it; call (888) 257-9181 and a tech will diagnose it on the spot.
Yes — keep the damper closed and don't light a fire. We remove animals safely and humanely, check the flue for nests or damage, and fit a cap so nothing gets back in.
Once a year, before the season you use it most — gas, wood, electric or propane. An inspection catches cracked fireboxes, blocked flues, and failing valves before they turn into smoke, smell, or a fireplace that quits on the coldest night of the year.
Creosote and soot absorb moisture and smell strongest in warm, humid weather; a gas smell is different — if you smell gas, leave and call your gas company first. A deep cleaning and a draft check fix the fireplace smell in nearly every case.
Yes — a gas insert or gas log set goes into your existing firebox: no wood, no ash, on with a switch or remote. We size it to your room, run the line, and vent it to code. Start with a free estimate.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.

Fireplace Team is a local fireplace repair company. Fireplaces are all we do — repair, cleaning, inspection and installation for gas, wood, electric and propane — so when we open yours up, we've seen the problem before and we know the fix.
For more than ten years, homeowners have called us for the same reason: the fireplace stopped lighting right before they needed it. We show up the same day, find what's actually wrong, and leave it burning clean.
Every fireplace fails differently. The same symptom — a pilot that won't stay lit — can be a worn thermocouple, a clogged pilot orifice, or a valve on its way out. Guessing wrong costs the homeowner money and fixes nothing.
So from day one, our rule has been simple: test before we quote. The tech opens the fireplace, checks ignition, venting and controls, and shows you the failed part in the firebox — not on a clipboard. You get one clear price before any work starts, and estimates are always free.
Today our local techs cover 35 states, and the reviews tell the same story in every one of them: diagnosed on the spot, fixed with real parts, and lit and tested before we leave. And if a fireplace honestly isn't worth repairing, we say that too — a company that will talk itself out of a job is the one you can trust with the next one.
We're licensed & insured, and we stand behind the simplest promise in the business: when you click your remote the night after we've been, your fireplace lights. Every time.
A meter, not a parts bin. We test the ignition chain in order and replace the one part that actually failed — nothing more.
Glass off, firebox open. You see the worn igniter or cracked panel yourself before you hear a price — no taking our word for it.
If cleaning fixes it, we clean it. If a fireplace isn't worth repairing, we tell you plainly. Licensed & insured, on every job.
Every job ends the same way: the fireplace lit, the flame checked, and the ignition cycle tested in front of you — several times.
