How to Maintain You Natural Gas Fireplace
Natural gas fireplaces are efficient and low maintenance, however ALL types of fireplaces have routine cleaning and maintenance needs – even ones that don’t leave a pile of ash in their wake.
Wood-Free Does NOT Mean Maintenance-Free
Gas fireplaces, including gas inserts, gas stoves, chimneys and associated venting, should have an annual inspection to ensure safe, efficient operation. Though you won’t find real wood log remnants in your gas fireplace, you may find some minimal residue from its operation clinging to surfaces. 
When this residue builds up, the foggy film can cover the frame or glass doors and mask scratches in the glass that can affect performance over time without the proper attention or replacement.
Your Fireplace Works Hard – Give it the TLC it Needs
Putting annual fireplace maintenance inspection at the top of your fall or spring cleaning checklist can head off problems at-the-pass, helping put your mind at ease. This routine service is about more than simply cleaning surfaces, it encompasses…
