Seward Park, King County
A gas fireplace service in Seward Park is $189 to $425. A unit that runs and just needs its annual cleaning sits at the low end: burner and pilot cleared, ignition tested, logs reset, glass cleaned, gasket and vent checked. A fireplace that will not light, a sensor that has failed, or a unit idle so long it needs stripping down sits higher; parts are priced before they go in.

Gas is a common fuel on these streets. For ZIP area 98118, of which Seward Park is a part, the census survey has about four households in ten heating mainly with utility gas, most of the rest using electricity, and wood a rounding error. The census asks each home for its primary fuel only, so it is silent on gas inserts and log sets. It does show that a gas line into the house is common here.
Every gas fireplace service we do in Seward Park includes:

Burn bans from Puget Sound Clean Air Agency are written for wood: Stage 1 and Stage 2 name fireplaces, stoves, inserts and pellet stoves that burn solid fuel, so a properly vented gas unit stays usable when a ban is on. Seattle also splits the paperwork: running a new gas line takes its own permit, apart from the SDCI mechanical permit that a new appliance and its vent would need. And where a gas appliance vents into an old masonry flue, that flue still has to be lined and sound, the same as for wood.
We close the valve at the unit, unclip the glass front and set the ceramic logs aside on a cloth.
We clear the burner and pilot, test the safety sensor, and look over wiring and valve connections.
The vent route is inspected for blockage, separation or a bird's nest at the termination.
The unit is lit and watched, with a carbon monoxide reading taken and the flame pattern recorded.

Yes. The Clean Air Agency's ban stages apply to wood and pellet devices. A gas unit in good order is not covered.
This page is about servicing units already in place. Installing an insert means new equipment, venting and gas work, which we assess separately.
Our visit is about the burner, the controls and the vent pipe. If the unit vents into an old masonry flue we may recommend a camera inspection, which costs $99 plus tax each and is deducted from work you approve.
