Herts Boilers offers gas fire repairs and gas fire service in St Albans and west Hertfordshire. It should be noted we don't install, replace or remove gas fires, and we only work on some classic gas fires.
Compared with modern gas boilers, the construction and operation of gas fires are still fairly simple. Gas fires are more for decorative and atmospheric effects than space heating now. A gas fire is rated at just under 7kW input, providing around 3kW heating output for a living room.
Gas fires can go wrong, and normally it is a pilot light problem which isn't holding on. This is usually caused by a blocked pilot injector, a restricted air port, or a burnt-out thermocouple.
A gas fire service is crucial for its safe operation. It is usually an open-flued gas fire, which has had a large build-up of cobwebs over the years. This in turn causes a restriction in the flue, and spillage occurs in some cases.
