The first cold front usually reaches Arlington in late October, and that is the week the phone starts ringing. The gas fireplace in a Viridian home clicks but will not light. The 1970s brick firebox in Dalworthington Gardens has a crack across the back wall. The damper in a South Arlington ranch house is rusted open and the living room will not warm up. Below is every fireplace service we offer in Arlington, what it fixes, and the link to the page with the details and the pricing. This page covers wood-burning and gas fireplaces; an electric fireplace has no flue or vent, so it is outside chimney work.

Fireplace Repair in Arlington, TX

Fireplace repair in Arlington covers both wood-burning and gas fireplaces: cracked firebrick, crumbling mortar joints inside the firebox, broken refractory panels in factory-built units, dampers that will not move, and smoke spilling into the room. A cracked back wall, or a refractory panel with a crack you can slip a dime into, is firebox repair, and it has to be done before the next fire because the crack lets heat reach the framing behind it. A damper that will not open, close or seal is damper repair and replacement, often with a top-sealing damper that doubles as a cap and stops the cold draft Arlington homeowners feel in January. Repair estimates are free, and we show you the photos before we recommend anything.

Gas Fireplace Repair and Gas Log Installation in Arlington

Most gas fireplace repair calls in Arlington come down to the same five faults: a pilot that will not stay lit, a dirty burner or pilot assembly, a dead wall switch or remote, a gas valve that will not open, or logs set in the wrong position so the flame soots. Gas fireplace repair in Arlington starts with the service call. The gas fireplace service call is free: we find the fault, show you, and quote the part in writing before we fix anything. Want to convert a wood fireplace or replace a tired old log set? Gas log installation covers vented sets for the look of a real fire and ventless sets for heat, matched to the firebox size. Running a new gas line is a plumber's job in Texas; once the line is at the fireplace, we set, connect and test the logs. The sealed direct vent fireplaces in newer North Arlington builds get the same yearly service as a gas log set.

Fireplace Installation in Arlington: Inserts and Wood Stoves

An open masonry fireplace sends most of its heat up the chimney. Fireplace and insert installation in Arlington puts a sealed wood or gas fireplace insert into the existing fireplace with a new stainless liner, so the same fireplace heats the room instead of the attic. For a room with no fireplace at all, a wood stove installation adds a freestanding wood or pellet stove, a hearth pad, and chimney pipe set to the manufacturer's clearances and Arlington's building codes. Installation cost depends on the unit and the venting run, so every installation gets a free in-home estimate with the unit, liner and labor listed separately.

Fireplace Cleaning, Inspection and Wood Stove Cleaning

A fireplace used a few evenings a winter still collects soot, dust, spider webs and creosote. Fireplace cleaning takes care of the firebox, glass, logs and the throat of the chimney, and pairs with a chimney sweep when the flue needs it. A fireplace inspection checks the firebox, damper, glass, gas components and venting, with photos of each, and is the service to book before the first fire of the season or when you move into a Arlington home. Wood stove cleaning covers the stovepipe, baffle and catalytic combustor, where creosote builds faster than in an open fireplace. The NFPA's home heating safety guidance puts it simply: have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year. Fireplace maintenance once a year is cheaper than any repair on this page.

Fireplace Remodeling in Arlington

If the fireplace works but the 1980s brass doors and painted brick do not, fireplace remodeling covers new surrounds, stone or tile facing, mantels and refacing of an existing fireplace. We check the firebox, damper and flue first, because there is no point putting new stone over a cracked firebox. Remodel work is quoted after a visit, in writing, with the materials you picked listed by name.

Questions

Fireplace Services Questions From Arlington Homeowners

How much does it cost to get your fireplace serviced in Arlington?

It depends on the fuel. For a wood-burning fireplace, a first-visit chimney sweep with a Level 1 inspection and photo report is $109 (regular $229). For a gas fireplace, Crownline Chimney Sweep does not charge for the gas fireplace service call in Arlington. We clean the burner and logs, test the pilot and valve, and quote any part in writing. Most Arlington homeowners pay for the yearly service and nothing else.

How much is a service call to repair a gas fireplace?

Crownline Chimney Sweep does not charge for the gas fireplace service call in Arlington. We come out, find why it will not light, and give you the repair price in writing. You only pay if you approve the repair. A thermocouple or thermopile is a small part; a gas valve or a control module costs more, and we tell you which one it is before you decide.

What is the most common problem with a gas fireplace?

A pilot that will not stay lit. The thermocouple or thermopile that proves the flame wears out after years of use, and the fireplace clicks, lights for a second and goes out. Close behind are a dirty burner or pilot assembly, a dead remote or wall switch battery, spider webs in the pilot tube after a Texas summer, and logs put back in the wrong spot after cleaning, which makes the flame soot.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a gas fireplace?

Repair, almost every time. Pilot assemblies, thermocouples, valves and switches are all replaceable parts, and a repair is a fraction of a new unit. Replacement makes sense when the firebox or heat exchanger is rusted through, the manufacturer no longer makes parts, or the unit is a 1990s open-face model you want to swap for a sealed direct vent insert that heats the room. We tell you which case you are in.

What is the lifespan of a gas fireplace?

Most gas fireplaces and inserts last 15 to 25 years with a yearly service. Vented gas log sets in a masonry fireplace last longer because there is less to fail. What shortens the life is skipping maintenance: a burner that runs dirty, a pilot that soots, and glass that is never cleaned. The newer homes in Viridian and North Arlington are now at the age where the first parts start to go.

Can a plumber fix a fireplace?

A plumber can run or repair the gas line to the fireplace, and in Texas that gas line work belongs to a plumber. The fireplace itself, the pilot assembly, burner, valve, logs, damper, firebox and venting, is chimney and fireplace work. Crownline Chimney Sweep services the fireplace side. If your problem is the gas supply, we tell you that and you call a plumber; if it is the fireplace, we fix it.

Do gas fireplaces need to be cleaned or inspected too?

Yes. A gas fireplace still needs a yearly inspection: the venting can get blocked, the logs collect soot and dust, the pilot assembly collects spider webs, and a burner out of adjustment can produce carbon monoxide. It rarely needs a full sweep like a wood fireplace. Crownline Chimney Sweep inspects, cleans and tests gas fireplaces and gas logs across Arlington.

How much does fireplace installation cost in Arlington?

The unit sets the price. A vented gas log set is the least expensive, a gas or wood insert with a new liner costs more, and a freestanding wood or pellet stove with new chimney pipe is priced by the venting run. Crownline Chimney Sweep gives a free in-home estimate for every installation, with the unit, liner, labor and any gas line coordination listed separately in writing, so you can compare it line by line.
