Gas Fireplace Repair in Alamo Heights, TX

Yes. Think of this as the catch-all diagnostic: when the fireplace won't fire and you can't pin down which part gave out, we test across ignition, valve, burner, and venting to isolate the cause. If the failed part is already known — a tech told you the pilot assembly or the valve is gone — you can book that specific repair directly instead.

We follow the flame's own logic with instruments. The proving circuit — the thermocouple or thermopile — gets metered first, because a flame that lights then dies usually fails right there; from there we work outward to manifold pressure on the manometer, the orifice and air-shutter, the ignition module on electronic units, and draft. Each test rules a subsystem in or out, so the diagnosis is earned rather than guessed at.

No. Anything involving gas lines, valves, or ignition systems needs a qualified, licensed technician — both to meet code and because gas leaks and carbon monoxide are life-safety hazards. Changing your remote batteries is fine; internal gas work is not.

The starting price pays for the diagnosis itself — pinning down which component failed. Once we've named it, the repair is quoted as that specific part (thermocouple, valve, igniter, blower) in a written, line-item estimate before any work goes ahead. The worth of the visit is the accurate diagnosis, so you're not paying to replace a part that was fine.

Treat it as an emergency, not a service call. Don't touch any switches or flames, get everyone out of the house, shut the gas off at the appliance valve only if you can do it safely on your way out, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside before you arrange any repair.

That's the whole design of it. Older homes interconnect in ways separate contractors miss — the chase that carries your original flue often carries duct runs and wiring too, and an uninsulated attic changes how the entire house breathes. We inspect chimney, ducts, dryer vent, and insulation in one pass and write it up as one prioritized report, so you're not reconciling four different opinions.

Maybe — many pre-war flues here are unlined or have cracked clay tiles, and you can't tell from the hearth. A camera inspection settles it in about twenty minutes. If it's sound, we document that and sweep it. If it needs a liner, we price it plainly and tell you what's safe in the meantime, which is sometimes nothing until it's fixed.

Inspection first, always — it sets the sequence. Typically: chimney safety items before burn season, attic air-sealing and insulation in spring or summer when it pairs naturally with duct sealing, and the dryer vent the same day as everything else since it takes the least time. Masonry repairs cure best in warm, dry months, so we slot those accordingly.
