We’ve been providing the Best Fireplace Services in Orlando, FL since 2014.

What Our Fireplace Services Include
Gas Fireplace Service
Gas fireplaces in Orlando work hard through our brief but real winters, then sit idle through eight months of heat and humidity that corrode valves and clog burner ports. You need this service when the pilot won’t stay lit, the flame burns blue instead of golden, or you smell gas near the unit. We disassemble the burner assembly, clean the orifices with precision tools, test the thermopile and thermocouple output in millivolts, and inspect the venting for condensation damage - common in Orlando’s subtropical climate where temperature swings create moisture inside metal flues.
Wood Burning Fireplace
A wood-burning fireplace in Orlando faces a specific enemy: our year-round humidity warps damper frames and accelerates rust in fireboxes that rarely dry out completely. You need attention when smoke backs into the room, the damper won’t open fully, or you see cracked mortar between firebricks. We perform a Level-2 camera inspection of the flue liner, check for creosote buildup (yes, even in Florida, pine and oak produce it), and assess whether the firebox needs HeatShield refractory repair or a full rebuild with professional-grade materials.
Fireplace Insert
Inserts transform inefficient open fireplaces into sealed heating systems, but Orlando’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity stress the metal surround and venting connections. You need service when the insert rattles, the glass smokes up immediately, or the blower runs but produces little heat. We inspect the direct-vent or natural-draft termination cap for corrosion - a frequent issue near Orlando’s lakes where salt air drifts inland - verify clearances to combustibles, and ensure the liner system is properly sized for the insert’s BTU output.
Damper Repair
The damper is the throttle of your fireplace, and in Orlando it often seizes after our long, humid summers when the metal frame and throat expand unevenly. You need repair when the handle won’t budge, you feel a draft even when “closed,” or you hear metal scraping on metal. We diagnose whether the issue is a warped frame, broken hinge pin, or missing seal - then rebuild with Copperfield or Olympia Chimney components designed for high-humidity environments, or install a top-sealing damper if the throat is too damaged for reliable repair.
Firebox Repair
The firebox is where combustion happens, and cracks in its refractory panels or mortar joints let heat reach combustible framing - a genuine safety hazard we never minimize. You need repair when you see cracks wider than a nickel, missing mortar, or spalling brick faces that shed flakes. We evaluate whether HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing will restore integrity or if the firebox requires partial rebuild with new firebrick and refractory cement, always documenting our findings with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand.
Fireplace Conversion
Converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas - or switching between vented and vent-free gas systems - requires matching the appliance to Orlando’s climate, your chimney’s condition, and local fuel codes. You need this when wood burning no longer fits your lifestyle, or when you want the efficiency of a sealed gas insert. We size the new system to your existing flue, install DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney liner systems as needed, and handle gas line connections with permits pulled through Orange County. The result is a fireplace that heats efficiently and meets code without surprises.
Brands We Service for Fireplace Services
We’ve worked on hundreds of Olympia Chimney liner systems in Orlando-area homes, from stainless steel relines in Pine Hills ranches to aluminum direct-vent installations in Belle Isle lake houses. We stock common Olympia components and know their sizing charts by memory, which means we don’t order wrong and make you wait.
Famco termination caps and Copperfield chimney components show up regularly in Central Florida construction from the 1990s forward. Our trucks carry replacement Famco caps and Copperfield dampers, and our technicians understand the quirks of each product line - which gaskets shrink in heat, which fasteners corrode first, which designs vent best in still, humid air. Whether you have Famco, Copperfield, or any other make, we can help. We also service and source DuraFlex and HeatShield products, and we’re familiar with Gelco’s line of chimney protection systems.
Signs You Need Fireplace Services Right Now
- Soot or smoke stains above the fireplace opening. This means combustion gases aren’t venting properly. In Orlando’s flat terrain with frequent temperature inversions, a partially blocked flue or damaged liner can push smoke back into your living space instead of up and out. Left unaddressed, this deposits creosote and carbon particles on walls and furnishings.
- A persistent smell of gas or burning dust when the unit is off. Gas leaks demand immediate professional attention. Even a small pilot orifice leak accumulates in an enclosed firebox, and our humid air corrodes valve seats faster than in drier climates. Don’t operate the fireplace until we’ve tested the system.
- Cracked or crumbling firebrick. Heat penetrates to the wooden structure behind the firebox when refractory panels fail. Orlando’s humidity accelerates the freeze-thaw damage you can’t see, especially in homes built before 1990 with original clay flue liners.
- The damper sticks or won’t seal. A damper that won’t open risks smoke damage. One that won’t close costs you air conditioning dollars year-round in Orlando’s climate, as conditioned air escapes up the chimney and hot attic air sinks down.
- Water stains or efflorescence (white powder) on the firebox walls. This signals moisture intrusion through a failed chimney crown, missing cap, or deteriorated flashing. Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms drive water into the smallest gaps, and summer humidity keeps it from evaporating, accelerating metal and masonry decay.

How Much Does Fireplace Services Cost in Orlando?
A typical gas fireplace tune-up in Orlando runs $89-$150 depending on accessibility and whether we need to replace worn components like thermocouples or igniters. Wood-burning fireplace inspections with Level-2 camera evaluation range from $150-$275. Damper repairs usually fall between $200-$450, while firebox repairs using HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing start around $800 and can reach $1,800 for full rebuilds in larger hearths. Fireplace conversions from wood to gas typically range $2,500-$5,500 including liner, gas line connection, and permit fees through Orange County.
Several factors move the price. The fireplace’s location on your property affects labor time - second-story chimneys in Oak Ridge or Sky Lake require more setup than ground-level units in Pine Castle. The condition of existing components determines whether we repair or replace; a rusted-out Famco damper assembly costs more than a simple hinge pin. Accessibility inside the firebox matters too, as some 1970s Orlando homes have narrow openings that slow refractory work. And the fuel type influences parts availability - vent-free gas components sometimes require ordering from regional distributors.
To avoid overpaying, get a second opinion on any written estimate over $500. We offer free second opinions because we’ve seen homeowners in Azalea Park Fireplace Services and Union Park quoted for full rebuilds when a HeatShield application would suffice. Our estimates are free, detailed, and come with no obligation. The number we give you is the number you pay.
