1. Fireplace Glass Cleaning  (Click to watch video)                                                                                      Warm-Up report #1: Over time, the glass on a gas fireplace can become dirty due to the combustion process. The white film that builds up can be easily removed with a special "wax-like" cleaner available at our retail location. Using a paper towel or soft cloth, apply 2 tablespoons of the cleaner per side over the entire surface. Let dry for 10-15 minutes before wiping off. See how easy this process is by watching our step-by-step video above but, if your glass has an excess of dark carbon build up, we recommend hiring a service cleaner, as it is likely the unit is not burning correctly.   Gas fireplaces, like any other appliance, will collect dust, especially in units that have doors or louvers. The dust can be easily removed with a vacuum or soft cloth. If you have a fan in your fireplace, make sure that you wipe the fan blades free of dust and grime to prevent the fan from getting out of balance and becoming noisy.          2. Replacing a Condo Fireplace  (Click to watch video)                                                                                 Warm-Up report #2: Mathew Howie of Vancouver Gas Fireplaces explains how to determine what type of venting is currently being used if you have a condo fireplace.
