What we do
- Gas fireplace tune-up & cleaning — burner, gas logs, glass, and firebox cleaned; ember bed and logs reset for a natural flame.
- Safety inspection — we check the flame, venting, and connections for safe operation and clean burning (a gas fireplace should burn blue, not yellow with soot).
- Repairs — the common issues: won’t light, pilot won’t stay lit, weak or no flame, faulty ignition, remote/switch problems, and sooty glass.
- Gas log service & arrangement — logs cleaned, repositioned, or replaced for the right look and safe operation.
- Before & after photos on every job.
Common problems we fix
- Won’t turn on / won’t light — often the pilot, ignition, or gas supply.
- Pilot won’t stay lit — usually a worn thermocouple or thermopile.
- Weak, low, or yellow flame — dirty burner ports or a venting/air issue (a yellow, sooty flame also means it’s not burning cleanly).
- Soot on the glass or logs — buildup that needs a proper cleaning and a flame check.
- Remote or wall switch not working — wiring, receiver, or valve issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won’t my gas fireplace turn on or light?
The most common causes are a pilot light that’s gone out, a faulty igniter, a worn thermocouple or thermopile that isn’t sensing the pilot flame, or an interrupted gas supply. Sometimes it’s a dead remote battery or a tripped safety switch. A gas fireplace has several safety components that all have to signal “OK” before it will light, so it’s worth having it diagnosed rather than guessing. Sweeppy repairs gas fireplaces in San Antonio from $198 — call (210) 418-9810 or book online.
My gas fireplace pilot won’t stay lit — what’s wrong?
When the pilot lights but goes out as soon as you release the knob, the usual culprit is a worn or dirty thermocouple or thermopile — the small sensor that tells the gas valve the pilot is burning. When it weakens, the valve shuts the gas off as a safety measure. It’s a common, fixable repair. Don’t keep forcing it — have it checked. Sweeppy diagnoses and repairs pilot and ignition issues; gas fireplace repair starts at $198. Call (210) 418-9810.
How often should a gas fireplace be serviced?
A gas fireplace should be serviced and inspected once a year, ideally before the burning season. Even though gas burns cleaner than wood, the burner, logs, and glass still collect dust and soot, connections loosen, and venting should be checked for safe operation. An annual tune-up keeps the flame clean and blue, catches small issues early, and helps it light reliably when the first cold snap hits. Sweeppy services San Antonio gas fireplaces — call (210) 418-9810 or book online.
Do you clean and service gas logs?
Yes. We clean the gas logs, burner, and glass, reset the ember bed, and reposition or replace logs so the fireplace looks right and burns safely. Over time logs shift, crack, or get sooty, and misplaced logs can cause a yellow, sooty flame — so log service is part of a proper gas fireplace tune-up. Call (210) 418-9810 or book at sweeppy.com/book/.
Is a gas fireplace inspection really necessary?
Yes — safety is the main reason. A gas fireplace inspection checks that it’s burning cleanly (blue flame, not yellow and sooty), that the venting is clear, and that connections and safety components are working, which helps guard against carbon monoxide and gas issues. It also keeps the unit reliable. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas company first, then have the fireplace inspected.
