Gas is Seattle's second heating fuel, and in one northern ZIP area it is the first. Across the city the American Community Survey finds utility gas heating 32.8% of occupied homes. The share is 48.5% in ZIP area 98117 and 43.5% in 98115, the area that spans Ravenna, Wedgwood and Maple Leaf. Those figures describe furnaces and main heat; the survey does not count fireplaces. No creosote forms in a gas fireplace, yet it has small parts that foul and a vent that can be blocked. Our service takes the front off, cleans what needs cleaning and tests the result.
Gas has a long local history. The plant on Wallingford's Lake Union shore was built in 1907. Natural gas piping reached Seattle in 1956, the plant shut down, the city bought the site in 1962 and Gas Works Park opened there in 1975. Appliances fitted in the decades since that changeover vary widely in design, so we work from the rating plate and the manufacturer's instructions for the unit in front of us.
Gas appliances fail gradually. A pilot grows weak, a sensor films over, the glass clouds, and one cold evening the unit will not stay lit. Because nothing smells or smokes, the vent side of the problem is the easiest to miss.
Carbon monoxide is the hazard, and outages are when people take risks with it. Seattle's windstorm profile records deaths during power outages when residents burned charcoal indoors for heat, and it notes that 49% of Seattle City Light customers lost power in the 2006 windstorm. A gas fireplace that works without household current is a safer answer, provided its vent is clear. The State Fire Marshal's heating guidance asks for working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and we take a CO reading before we leave.
How it works
Gas is closed at the valve, the glass comes off and the log set is laid out in order.
Dust and deposits are cleared from burner ports, the pilot and the flame sensors.
The vent is checked along its length for anything that would hold exhaust back.
Several starts in a row, a look at the flame pattern, and a CO reading at full burn.

Servicing is priced $189–$479. Should a part have failed, the repair is quoted separately in writing once we have seen the unit.
Once a year is a sound habit. It matches the annual check that CSIA cites from NFPA 211 for every fireplace and vent, and it catches a weak pilot or a blocked termination before the cold months.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's stage descriptions list devices that burn wood (fireplaces, stoves, inserts) plus pellet stoves. Neither stage mentions gas appliances. Check the agency's burn ban status page if you are unsure on a given day.
SDCI's permit guide names gas and fireplace work among the projects that need a permit beyond its exemption list, and notes that a mechanical permit does not extend to gas lines. For anything past routine cleaning, we check with SDCI before work starts.
Everyone goes outside first; from there, phone the gas utility or 911. Leave switches alone and do not try to relight anything. Service comes after the utility has made the line safe.
