Fireplace Maintenance: A Little Checkup Goes a Long Way

Gas and electric fireplaces are known for their low-maintenance convenience-but that doesn't mean they're maintenance-free. A yearly tune-up can go a long way in ensuring your fireplace runs safely, efficiently, and beautifully throughout the heating season.

Terry’s Heating and Air Conditioning provides professional fireplace maintenance services in Twin Falls, ID, and the surrounding areas of Twin Falls County. Whether you use your fireplace every night or only on special occasions, we help you keep it in peak condition-so it's always ready when you are.

Why Regular Fireplace Maintenance Matters

Fireplaces, like any home appliance, need periodic inspection and cleaning to function at their best. Over time, even the most advanced gas or electric unit can experience buildup, wear, or minor performance issues that reduce efficiency and compromise safety.

Annual maintenance helps you:

  • Catch issues early before they become costly repairs

  • Extend the life of your fireplace system

  • Improve energy efficiency and heating output

  • Ensure safe operation (especially when it comes to gas and venting systems)

  • Keep the glass, logs, and burners looking clean and polished

Skipping routine maintenance might not cause problems right away-but it can shorten the lifespan of your fireplace and increase the risk of mid-season breakdowns.

What's Included in Our Annual Fireplace Tune-Up

Our technicians follow a detailed checklist during every service visit to make sure nothing gets overlooked. When you schedule your annual fireplace maintenance, here's what we do:

  • Conduct a complete safety inspection of all components.

  • Cleaning of burner, logs/media, and glass to remove dust and buildup.

  • Check and test the ignition system, including pilot and electronic ignition setups.

  • Examine flame quality for correct color, height, and pattern.

  • Inspect gas lines and fittings for leaks or wear.

  • Review the venting system to ensure proper airflow and prevent carbon monoxide risks.

  • Evaluate blower fans and thermostats (for applicable models).

  • Check electrical connections for electric fireplaces.

  • Honest recommendations if parts need replacement or updates.

We service all major gas and electric fireplace brands, and our team is trained to work on both vented and vent-free systems.

Pro Tip: Schedule Fireplace Maintenance in the Fall

Don't wait until winter hits to think about your fireplace. We recommend scheduling your annual maintenance in the fall-before the first big cold front rolls through Idaho. That way, your system is ready to go when you need it most, and you can avoid the seasonal rush.
