Important Information Regarding Your Gas Fireplace Service
Upon submission of your service request, Wammoth Services will respond via email within 1-2 business days with our first available appointment. Please reply to this email to confirm your appointment (or request an alternate date). We will provide a general arrival window which will be confirmed prior to the appointment. Appointment reminder is emailed the day before the service appointment and includes the 2 hour arrival window
Please do not run/operate your gas fireplace before your appointment as we cannot service a hot fireplace. You will be charged a minimum trip charge and the service will be reschedule to another date. A standing pilot (pilot light is lit) is not considered running/operating the gas fireplace.
If you have liquid propane fuel (not natural gas), please ensure your propane supply tank is at least 30% filled. We do not service fireplaces (or other gas fire features) that use a portable propane tank (like a propane tank that is used for a BBQ grill).
- Replacement parts and/or extensive repairs are an additional cost and not included in the full service price. While the full service may correct and resolved most common issues, we are not able to guarantee all issues will be resolved in every case including, but not limited to; units that have not been serviced annually/regularly, those beyond their serviceable life or parts are no longer available, units that have been installed or repaired incorrectly or outside manufacturer's instructions or if the unit has been serviced by a non-qualified individual.

One pane of glass cleaning is included in the price of the full service. Additional panes are charged $25 each. See-through units (2 panes of glass) - $25 additional. Peninsula (3 panes of glass) - $50 additional. There may an additional charge for excessively dirty/neglected fireplace.
