Gas fireplace repair in Dallas, TX
We diagnose gas fireplaces, inserts and log sets that will not light, will not stay lit or keep shutting off, and repair what the diagnosis shows. In Dallas that means housing with a median build year of 1980, in a place the nearest NOAA station puts at 2,135 heating degree days a year.

If you smell gas
- Leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
- Do not operate electrical switches, use a flame, or search for the leak.
- If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or anyone feels unwell, get everyone outside and call 911.
- This website and its request form do not dispatch emergency help.

A gas fireplace that will not light or stay lit needs model-specific diagnosis. Do not bypass a safety device, adjust a gas valve, or repeatedly attempt ignition to diagnose it.
Gas heat in Dallas homes
Public figures for Dallas as a whole. They describe local housing and heating, not your home, so the visit still starts with your own chimney.
- Homes heated mainly with utility gas
- 33%
- 33% of occupied Dallas homes heat primarily with utility gas, so about 67% run on oil, electricity, propane or something else. Wood is the primary heat in under 0.1% of them. Heating fuel is not a count of fireplaces, but 33% on utility gas shows how much of Dallas already has gas at the house.

- Median year built
- 1980
- Half of Dallas's housing units were built in 1980 or earlier, so the median Dallas chimney had about 43 years behind it by the 2023 end of the estimates. Austin, also in Texas, records 1993, 13 years newer. Brick and mortar of about 1980 need repair materials matched to the existing masonry, not simply the hardest product on the shelf.

- Heating degree days a year
- 2,135
- The NOAA climate-normals station nearest Dallas averages 2,135 heating degree days a year. El Paso, also in Texas, records 2,473, about 16% more. Degree days measure heating demand, not freeze-thaw cycles, so 2,135 says roughly how long a Dallas flue is in use across a year, not how much the masonry around it moves.

- Owner-occupied homes
- 42.4%
- 42.4% of occupied Dallas homes are owner-occupied, leaving about 57.6% rented. El Paso, also in Texas, records 60.2% owner-occupied, 17.8 percentage points higher. With 57.6% rented, the person who notices the fault is more often not the person who authorizes the repair, so say which you are and the findings can be written for both.
