Gas fireplace problems, symptom by symptom
Start with what the fireplace is doing. Each page below explains what usually sits behind that symptom, what you can safely check in a few minutes, what the repair tends to cost, and when to stop and call us. One rule sits above all of them: if you smell gas, leave the house, touch nothing that could spark, and call your gas utility and 911 from outside.
