When a Kemah fireplace quits, it is rarely mysterious — an idle-season clog, a tired thermocouple, or debris dropped into the flue by the last storm. We show you what failed, fix it with the right part, and leave the unit ready for the next cold snap.
Your information is kept private and used only for your fireplace service request.

Fireplace Service & Maintenance
The annual service that keeps a Kemah gas fireplace lighting first try: full clean, burner and pilot service, safety sensors tested, and a test fire before we leave. One visit a year is what stands between Kemah homeowners and the first-front no-light call.

A fireplace in Kemah is not fighting a long winter — it is fighting long hot summers sitting unused, dust and insects in the burner, storm debris, and the occasional hard freeze. This is what we find here, and what we check on every visit.
A gas fireplace in Kemah may not run for eight months, and sitting idle is hard on it. Dust settles deep in the pilot orifice, ignition parts age without ever being tested, and the unit fails on the first cool night. An annual service before the season fixes the small causes early.
Storm season drops limbs, leaves and roofing debris into open flues across Galveston County, and strong wind over the roof can reverse a marginal draft and push smoke back into the room. We clear blockages, check the cap, and diagnose downdrafts by cause instead of guessing at parts.
Oklahoma weather can swing from a warm afternoon to a cold night in hours, and Kemah fireplaces get lit, shut off and relit with the swings. That stop-start use is hard on igniters and thermocouples, and it rewards a unit that has been serviced. We test ignition through repeated cycles, not one lucky light.
Plenty of Kemah buyers inherit a gas fireplace they know nothing about — no service history, no idea when it last ran safely. New construction is no guarantee either, with dust left in burners from the build. An inspection before the first fire tells you exactly what you have.

Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a fireplace that lights when you click the remote.
Yes, do not keep trying to light it. Nest material blocks burner ports and pilot openings, which distorts the flame, delays ignition and can leave unburned gas in the firebox. We shut the unit down, clear the nesting safely, clean the ports and pilot, then test-fire it before it goes back into service.
Once a year, even with light use. In Kemah, an unused gas fireplace still collects dust, insects and heat-aged gaskets, and the first cold front is when neglected units fail. Book the annual service in the fall, before the first front, and the unit should light first try all season.
Yes. Gas inserts and log sets go into existing fireboxes and are the most common conversion in newer Kemah homes — sealed, remote-lit and far easier to live with than hauling wood. We measure your firebox, check the flue and venting, and walk through the options on a free estimate before any work starts.
Leave the fireplace off, and if the smell is strong, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first. Once it is safe, call us. A faint odor at startup can be a delayed ignition, but it can also be a leaking valve or connector, and that gets fixed before the fireplace is used again.
Usually not. Remotes fail from dead batteries, a receiver that lost its pairing, or a worn wall switch, and all three are quick diagnoses. If the remote system checks out, the fault sits in the valve or ignition, and we trace it in the same visit and replace only the part that failed.
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.
