Gas fireplaces
A gas fireplace that has not been serviced in a few years will have a dusty pilot assembly, a weak thermocouple and glass that no longer seals. We clean, test and re-gasket fireplaces and inserts, replace valves, igniters and fans, and install new direct-vent units.
Fireplace will not light?
The usual order of suspects: the pilot is out and needs relighting, the thermocouple or thermopile has weakened and no longer holds the gas valve open, the wall switch or remote receiver has failed, or the pilot assembly is clogged with dust after a summer idle. All of them are a short visit. Book the fireplace service in September or October, before the first evening you want it on; November is when the calls pile up.
Gas lines
New black-iron or CSST gas runs for kitchen ranges, clothes dryers, pool and hot-tub heaters, outdoor kitchens and barbecues, patio heaters and standby generators. Every run is pressure-tested and inspected. A straightforward barbecue line from an existing basement supply is typically $350 to $700 installed in the Hamilton area; a generator or pool heater supply depends on the distance and the pipe size the appliance needs, and is quoted in writing after a look at the house. The same gas line and venting rules apply to a new furnace or water heater.
