DIY Fireplace Maintenance Guide

Seasons change. Fireplace use goes up and down, but you should still perform a maintenance check of your fireplace regularly. As it gets warmer and spring blossoms, you'll find that this is the best time to conduct gas fireplace maintenance.

This is especially true if you use your fireplace more than a few times per season or if it is vital to your home's warmth. Experts suggest that it would be best to do the bulk of your yearly maintenance when the cold seasons end, but while it's still fresh in your memory. This way you can avoid the risk of having your fireplace out of commission before the next cold season is upon you.
