Green Lake, King County
Servicing a gas fireplace in Green Lake costs between $189 and $479. The $189 visit is a routine tune-up for a fireplace with no fault to chase. Sets with a blower, remote receiver or a sealed glass front that must come apart take longer, and so do units that have sat unserviced for years. A fireplace that will not light is diagnosed first: parts are quoted separately, in writing, before anything is replaced.

Gas is an everyday fuel in this part of Seattle. In ZIP area 98103, a Census Bureau tabulation area in which Green Lake sits with four neighboring districts, 39.6 percent of occupied homes are heated mainly by utility gas, against 56.7 percent by electricity. In a house on that second list, a gas fireplace can be the one flame appliance left, lit for a few hours on cold evenings and otherwise forgotten. Burners that run rarely still gather dust, spiders nest in pilot tubes over the summer, and the first lighting of autumn is when a lazy pilot or a sooty flame shows itself.
Every gas fireplace service we do in Green Lake includes:

The windstorm of 2006 cut electricity to 49 percent of the customers Seattle City Light serves; 95 percent were reconnected within two days, though the last waited a week. The city's windstorm profile also records deaths in outages when residents burned charcoal indoors to keep warm. A gas fireplace that has been serviced, with its venting confirmed clear and a working carbon monoxide alarm nearby, is a safer source of warmth on those nights than anything improvised. The State Fire Marshal lists working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms among its basic fireplace recommendations.
We light the fireplace as you would and watch ignition, flame shape and shutdown.
Gas off: pilot and burner get cleaned, and a meter is put on each safety sensor.
The venting is examined from the unit and, where reachable, from its outside termination.
The unit is run again, a carbon monoxide reading is taken, and you get a written summary.

It is a mineral residue from combustion. It is not dangerous in itself, but glass that goes uncleaned for years can be etched for good, so we clean it at each service.
