Most Common Issues With Gas Fireplaces We Restore in Burnaby
Most gas fireplace problems start small and gradually get worse. Requesting Burnaby Gas Fireplace Repair early can help you avoid costly damage and potential safety hazards.
In Burnaby homes, we are most frequently contacted for issues like:
- Fireplace that won’t ignite at all
- Pilot light that does not stay lit, or keeps going out
- Main burner lights, then goes out again after a few minutes
- Black, grimy glass that refuses to stay clean
- Flames that look small, weak, very yellow, or uneven
- Odd odours, ticking, or booming sounds during start-up or shutdown
- Remote, wall switch, or thermostat not operating
- Fireplace fan that will not turn on, or a fan making a grinding or bearing noise
Behind all of these symptoms there is usually an underlying cause such as a bad thermocouple or thermopile, dirty pilot assembly, clogged burner ports, faulty gas valve, or incorrect wiring.
Our responsibility during Burnaby Gas Fireplace Repair is to troubleshoot that root cause, not simply restart the unit and hope it works.
Our Gas Fireplace Repair Process
When you schedule Burnaby Gas Fireplace Repair, we follow a consistent process that helps everything go smoothly from start to finish.
Safety check and visual inspection
We begin each visit by checking for gas smells, proper venting, and any visible damage to the fireplace, gas line, and surrounding finishes.
Diagnostic testing
Next, we use proper testing tools to check the pilot assembly, thermocouple, thermopile, ignition system, gas valve, fan, and safety switches.
This tells us which component has actually failed.
Clear explanation and upfront pricing
Before we perform any repair, we explain what the problem is, show you the worn or failed part when possible,
and give you a straightforward price for the repair so you can approve it.
Professional repair and parts replacement
We stock many common gas fireplace parts on our truck – pilot assemblies, thermocouples, thermopiles, switches, fans, and gaskets.
If a special-order part is needed, we source it from trustworthy local suppliers or directly from the manufacturer.
Combustion check and cleanup
When the repair is complete, we hand-test-fire the unit multiple times to confirm a proper flame pattern and safe operation.
Then we clean the glass, tidy up the work area, and confirm the fireplace is running safely before we leave.

Data-driven: what we see on Burnaby gas fireplace repair calls
Most Burnaby Gas Fireplace Repair calls fall into a few repeat patterns. Ignition and pilot-related faults are common because small voltage drops or dirty pilot assemblies can stop the system from proving flame.
Another frequent category is control failure: wall switches, remote receivers, wiring faults, and control modules that stop sending a clean signal to the valve.
Burnaby’s winter air is often damp, and moisture plus dust buildup can accelerate failure in pilot assemblies, burners, and fan components.
That’s why a real repair requires measurement and verification, not trial-and-error.
Safety-driven shutoffs also show up often: weak flame signal, venting concerns, or abnormal flame characteristics that indicate the unit should not keep running until it is tested and corrected.
When do you need gas fireplace repair?
You should book Burnaby Gas Fireplace Repair as soon as you notice any of the following:
- You detect a gas odour near the appliance
- The pilot light will not stay lit, or will not light at all
- The burner lights then shuts off shortly after
- The glass becomes black again quickly
- You see unusual flames (very yellow, lifting, or roaring)
- The fan is very noisy or not running at all
- The remote, wall switch, or thermostat stops controlling the unit
Gas fireplaces are reliable when they are operating correctly. When something changes, fast repair helps protect your home and restores safe heat you can trust.
