About This Service

The plumber's side of gas fireplace work — done right.

Most gas fireplace problems Fort Worth homeowners run into come down to the gas supply: a slow leak at a joint, a failing gas valve, a supply line that's the wrong size for a new appliance, or a corroded fitting on an older black-iron line. That's the work we do — under Texas RMP license, pressure-tested, and to code.

We also install new gas lines for fireplaces in homes that don't have one today — sizing the supply for the unit's BTU demand, routing the line, installing the shut-off, and pulling permits where the city requires them.

If the issue is on the appliance side — electronic ignition, control board, thermocouple inside the firebox — that's usually a fireplace specialist's job, not a plumber's. We'll diagnose the gas side honestly and tell you which side the problem is on before we quote.

What We Do

Gas fireplace work — what's included.

Gas leak detection & repair

Electronic detection paired with soap testing and full pressure test. Repair or replace leaking sections.

Gas valve replacement

Stuck, corroded, or unsafe shut-off valves on the fireplace supply — swapped out with code-compliant parts.

New gas line for a fireplace

Sized for the unit's BTU demand, routed from the meter or branch line, with proper shut-off and permits when required.

Supply line upgrade

Older homes often have undersized supply lines. We upgrade ½" to ¾" or 1" as needed for a new or higher-BTU fireplace.

Natural gas ↔ propane conversion

Switching fuel sources requires the right orifice and supply pressure. We handle the gas side of the conversion.

Black iron & CSST pipe work

Older Fort Worth homes use black iron — newer ones use CSST. We work with both, including proper grounding and bonding for CSST.

Capping an unused fireplace gas line

Removing or retiring a fireplace? We cap the supply safely and to code, with a pressure test to confirm.

Pre-sale & home inspection fixes

Failed inspection on a gas fireplace? We diagnose the cited issue, fix it, and pressure-test for a re-inspection.

Permit-ready installs

Most DFW cities require permits for new gas work. We pull them and meet inspection — no unpermitted shortcuts.

Why Paloma

Why homeowners pick us for gas fireplace work.

Licensed for gas work

Texas RMP-16431 covers gas piping. Many "handyman" services aren't licensed for this — and unpermitted gas work shows up at home sale.

41 years of trade experience

Brent Jones, our master plumber, has more than four decades in DFW plumbing — including the older Fort Worth homes where most gas-line surprises live.

Pressure-tested every time

Before we turn gas back on, every line gets a pressure test. No exceptions. That's how we know there's no leak before you smell one.

FAQ

Gas fireplace questions.

Does Paloma Plumbing repair gas fireplaces?
Yes — we handle the gas-line side of fireplace work in Fort Worth and DFW. That includes leaks, gas valve replacement, supply line issues, new gas line installation for a fireplace, and natural-gas-to-propane conversions. For electronic ignition or control-module issues inside the firebox, those usually require a fireplace specialist; we'll diagnose the gas side and tell you honestly if it's an appliance problem.
How do you find a gas leak at the fireplace?
Electronic gas detectors (sniff out methane) paired with soapy-water bubble testing on suspect joints, plus a system pressure test when needed. Once we locate it, we'll either repair the joint or replace the failed section of pipe.
Can I install a new gas fireplace where there isn't one today?
In most cases, yes — but it depends on existing gas line sizing, distance from the meter, BTU demand of the unit, and the route from the supply to the firebox. We size the line, route the supply, install the shut-off, pressure-test the system, and pull permits as required by your city.
I smell gas near my fireplace. What should I do?
Leave the house immediately — don't flip light switches, don't use electronics, don't start a car in an attached garage. From outside, call your gas utility (Atmos in most of DFW: 1-866-322-8667). They'll confirm the leak and shut the meter off. Then call us at (682) 895-5325 for the repair.
Are you licensed for gas work?
Yes. Paloma Plumbing operates under Texas Responsible Master Plumber license RMP-16431, held by Brent Jones with 41+ years in the trade. Gas piping is included in the RMP scope. We're BBB accredited and fully insured.
How much does a gas fireplace repair or install cost?
We charge a flat $99 inspection fee to come out, diagnose the actual issue, and give you a written bid. If you accept the bid, the $99 is waived. Beyond 40 miles from our Fort Worth shop, the inspection fee is $120 (same waived-if-booked policy).
