If your gas fireplace has a programmable wall control or thermostat and you have never touched the settings beyond on and off, you might be missing out on some real comfort and efficiency.

Most wall controls let you set a target temperature so the fireplace cycles on and off to maintain it, instead of running at full flame the entire time it is on. Some also offer a timer function, useful for warming a room before you wake up or turning things off automatically before you fall asleep.

Taking a few minutes to actually program these settings can mean a more consistent room temperature and less gas used to get there.

Not sure how to program yours, or whether it is working correctly? Northco Fire can walk you through it.

Turn on your gas fireplace once the temperature drops and hear a few pops or ticks in the first minute or two? In most cases, that is just metal expanding as it heats up, and it should settle down quickly.

Metal components inside your fireplace expand as they warm and contract as they cool. A little ticking sound during startup or shutdown is a normal part of that process, especially once the weather turns colder and the temperature difference is greater.

What is worth a call: popping that continues well after startup, a loud bang rather than a soft tick, or any noise paired with a strange smell or a flame that looks off. Those combinations are worth having checked.

Northco Fire has been helping Northern Colorado homeowners tell normal fireplace sounds from ones that need attention since 2012.

Call 970-412-4516 if something sounds off.

Northco Fire did not start out as a fireplace company.

Owner Brian Kelly originally built the business as a branch of his interior remodeling company, taking on fireplace installations alongside remodeling projects. Demand for honest, qualified fireplace service kept growing, and eventually that branch became its own company, focused entirely on gas fireplace maintenance and repair.

That background still shows up in the work today. A team that came up through remodeling tends to notice the small details other companies skip, how a fireplace fits into the room, whether a repair was ever done correctly the first time, and what long-term maintenance actually looks like.

Since 2012, that same attention to detail has been behind every service call across Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, and the rest of Northern Colorado.

This week is National Fire Prevention Week, and it is a good excuse to run through your home's fire safety basics, including the one appliance that actually has an open flame inside it every time you use it.

While you are testing smoke detectors and checking carbon monoxide alarms this week, add your gas fireplace to the list. A yearly inspection catches worn seals, ventilation issues, and gas leaks long before they become emergencies.

Here is a simple checklist for the week: test every smoke detector, check carbon monoxide alarm batteries, clear anything flammable from around your fireplace, and if it has not been serviced this year, get it on the calendar.

Northco Fire has helped Northern Colorado homeowners stay ahead of fireplace safety since 2012.

Ever wonder what actually happens the moment you flip that switch or press that button? It depends on which ignition system your gas fireplace uses.

A standing pilot system keeps a small flame burning continuously, ready to light the main burner the instant you turn it on. A piezo or electronic ignition system only sparks a flame when you activate it, which can save a small amount of gas over the course of a year since nothing is burning around the clock.

Both systems are reliable when they are maintained, but they fail in different ways and call for different fixes. Knowing which one you have helps you describe the problem accurately when you call for service.

Not sure which ignition system your fireplace uses? Northco Fire has been sorting this out for Northern Colorado homeowners since 2012.

Call 970-412-4516 with your questions.

Today is the last day of September. In Northern Colorado, the first hard freeze of the season is never far behind.

If your gas fireplace has not been serviced yet this year, October is your last real window before service calls pick up in earnest. Homeowners who book now get their pick of appointment times. Homeowners who wait until the first freeze hits often find themselves waiting weeks for an opening.

A Northco Fire service call includes a full safety inspection, cleaning of all major components, a gas leak check, and ventilation verification, all with honest, transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

We serve Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Greeley, Berthoud, Johnstown, Timnath, Campion, and Kelim.

Call 970-412-4516 or schedule online before the weather makes the decision for you.

A good number of our customers do not call us first. They call us after a frustrating experience with someone else.

Maybe it was a company that quoted one price and charged another. Maybe it was a technician who rushed through the appointment without explaining what they found. Maybe it was simply a call that never got returned.

Once those homeowners work with Northco Fire, they usually do not go back to whoever they used before. Honest pricing quoted up front, technicians who walk you through what they are doing and why, and a team that actually answers the phone. It sounds simple, but it turns out to be rare.

If your last fireplace service experience left something to be desired, we would like the chance to change that.

Call 970-412-4516 or book online today.

September is almost gone, and once October hits, our calendar tends to fill up fast with homeowners who waited a little too long.

If your gas fireplace has not been serviced yet this year, this is one of the last chances to get it done before the fall rush really takes hold. Booking now means a full safety inspection, cleaning of all major components, a gas leak check, and ventilation verification, all with honest, transparent pricing.

We proudly serve Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Greeley, Berthoud, Johnstown, Timnath, Campion, and Kelim.

Do not be the homeowner who calls in November and hears that the first available slot is in January.

Call 970-412-4516 or book online this week.

We have been fortunate to earn a lot of kind words from Northern Colorado homeowners over the years, and a few themes keep coming up again and again.

Homeowners tell us our technicians, like Joel and Brian, take the time to explain what they are doing instead of rushing through the appointment. They tell us we call back quickly and help troubleshoot problems even before a truck is on the way. And more than once, we have heard from someone who called several other companies first, only to find longer wait times and higher prices than what we quoted.

Honest work, clear communication, and showing up when we say we will. That is not a slogan, it is just how we have operated since 2012.

Curious what that experience looks like for yourself? Book your appointment today.

Not every gas fireplace has one, but if yours does, the heat exchanger is doing more work than almost any other part in the system.

A heat exchanger pulls heat from the flame and combustion gases and transfers it into the air that actually circulates into your room, rather than letting that heat escape up the vent. A clean, well-functioning heat exchanger means more of the heat you are paying for ends up warming your living room instead of going to waste.

Dust, soot, and debris buildup on the heat exchanger reduce its efficiency over time, which can mean higher heating costs for the same amount of comfort. It is one of the components we check and clean on every full service call.

Curious whether your fireplace has one, or how efficient yours is running?

Northco Fire has been answering these questions for Northern Colorado homeowners since 2012.
