Maintaining your gas fireplace in peak condition requires more than an occasional check—it takes consistent fireplace tune-ups. That’s where annual service agreements come in. These programs help you to stay on top of all necessary cleaning, inspections, and minor repairs without having to worry to book individual appointments.

A typical annual care package may include:
