Why Hadley Chimney Orlando Is Orlando’s Preferred Gas Fireplace Repair Company
Hadley Chimney Orlando is led by Cory Mitchell, and we’ve been in the chimney trade since 2003. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, held to The Relay Standard on every job. That matters here because Orlando homes have particular problems: rusted dampers after summer storms, chimney swift nests in flues, and spalled bricks from intense sun exposure. Our techs see these constantly, so they know what to look for before a small issue becomes a carbon monoxide risk.
Every repair we do in Orlando carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a repair fails within 365 days, we come back and fix it free. That’s not a promotional offer; it’s a standing commitment on every visit, whether you’re in Lake Nona or Winter Park. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you get live arrival tracking, before-and-after photo documentation, and a written price before work starts. No vague verbal quotes that inflate once our tech is already on your roof.
Cory Mitchell has built this business on a simple rule: nothing is recommended without camera evidence the homeowner can see for themselves. If a competitor tells you that you need a $3,000 liner replacement, ask them to show you the camera footage. We’ll always show ours.

Our Gas Fireplace Repair Services in Orlando
Gas Log Set Inspection and Cleaning
Your gas log set accumulates dust, pet hair, and combustion residue over months of disuse, especially during Orlando’s humid off-season when moisture makes that residue cling. A full inspection and cleaning in Orlando runs $95 – $175. We check the logs for cracks, clean the burners, verify the ignition sequence, and confirm the flame pattern is correct. Many Orlando homeowners schedule this in late October, before the first cooler evening when they actually want to use the fireplace.
Damper Repair and Replacement
Orlando’s summer storm season is the biggest killer of dampers. Humid air rushes down the flue, rusts the metal, and by the time you light your first gas fire in November, the damper is seized shut. That’s a carbon monoxide hazard, not just a nuisance. Damper replacement in Orlando typically runs $220 – $380 including the part and labor. We stock replacement dampers locally at our Orlando office, so most damper jobs happen in a single visit.
Flue Liner Camera Inspection
This is the service that separates honest chimney work from upselling. We run a camera up your flue and you see exactly what we see, in real time, on a screen. For homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s around Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, and Lake Mary, the flue is often unlined or has clay tile that’s cracked. A camera inspection in Orlando costs $150 – $250. If we find damage, you’ll see it yourself before anyone quotes a liner. If the flue is fine, we’ll tell you that plainly and you won’t hear another word about it.
Complete Gas Fireplace Repair
Sometimes the fix is bigger: a failed thermocouple, a faulty gas valve, or a burner that won’t stay lit. Our Gas Fireplace Repair team handles these daily across the Orlando area. A full diagnostic plus repair typically runs $180 – $450, depending on the part. We work with trusted brands including DuraFlex liners and Copperfield accessories, so repairs use parts built to last, not whatever is cheapest on the truck. Written price before work starts, always.

Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
We service and repair all major gas fireplace brands, and we stock parts for DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, and Copperfield systems locally in Orlando. If your fireplace uses a Famco damper or a Gelco sealant component, we know those systems well. Fast turnaround matters in Orlando’s short burn season, when you want the fireplace working before Thanksgiving, not in February. Local parts inventory means most repairs never need a second visit.
Common Gas Fireplace Repair Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Rusted dampers seized shut after summer storms. Orlando’s frequent summer thunderstorms push humid air down the flue, rusting damper components. A seized damper on a gas fireplace traps carbon monoxide indoors, which is why we always verify damper operation and draft before and after every repair.
- Chimney swift nests blocking gas flues. Chimney swifts, a protected migratory bird, commonly nest inside flues during Orlando’s mild winter. A nest packed against the liner can block exhaust, extinguish pilot lights, and push gas smells into your living room. Removal requires wildlife guidelines, not just scraping.
- Crumbling mortar and spalled bricks from Florida sun. Orlando’s intense UV exposure breaks down brick and mortar faster than most homeowners expect. Cracked crowns and deteriorating mortar joints let humid air into the flue, accelerating corrosion of gas fireplace components and causing musty odors even when the fireplace sits unused.
- Pilot lights that won’t stay lit in older converted fireplaces. Many 1970s and 80s Orlando homes converted from wood-burning to gas. The original flue was never designed for gas venting, and the resulting draft issues cause pilot light dropouts and intermittent operation. We see it regularly in College Park, Conway, and the older sections of Baldwin Park.

FAQs – Gas Fireplace Repair in Orlando
Why does my gas fireplace smell musty in Orlando even when I’m not using it?
That musty smell in your Orlando gas fireplace almost always means humid air is getting into the flue and condensing, usually through a rusted damper, a cracked crown, or deteriorated mortar joints. Orlando’s year-round humidity makes this worse than in most cities, because the flue never fully dries out between rains. The fix usually starts with a camera inspection to find the moisture entry point, and it’s often a $220 – $380 damper replacement rather than anything more expensive. Call (904) 822-8172 to book a camera inspection, and we’ll show you exactly where the moisture is coming from.
A chimney swift made a nest in my gas fireplace flue. Can I still run the fireplace?
No, you should not run the fireplace with a chimney swift nest in the flue. Chimney swifts are protected under federal law, so removal has to follow wildlife guidelines, and the nest itself blocks exhaust flow. Running gas with a blocked flue pushes carbon monoxide back into your home. Last fall we were called to a 1980s single-family home in the Conway neighborhood where the gas logs wouldn’t stay lit. Our tech ran a camera up the flue and found a rusted damper and a chimney swift nest packed against the liner. We removed the nest under wildlife guidelines, replaced the damper, and verified draft with a smoke test before the homeowner lit the first fire. That’s the right sequence. Call us and we’ll handle it the same way.
Why does my gas fireplace pilot light keep going out in my Orlando home?
A pilot light that keeps going out in Orlando is usually caused by draft interference, which here typically means one of three things: a blocked flue from a nest or debris, a thermocouple that’s failing, or a flue that was never sized correctly for gas, common in 1970s and 80s converted wood-burning fireplaces. The diagnostic costs $180 – $450 including the fix in most cases. We’ll show you the camera footage of what’s actually happening in the flue before recommending any repair. Call (904) 822-8172 for an exact quote, free.
My Orlando home was built in the 1970s with a wood-burning fireplace converted to gas. Do I still need an annual inspection?
Yes, absolutely. A converted fireplace in a 1970s Orlando home needs an annual inspection more than a purpose-built gas unit, not less. The original flue was designed for wood smoke at high temperatures, not the cooler, wetter exhaust from gas flames. That mismatch creates creosote-like residue, condensation, and accelerated liner deterioration. An annual inspection and cleaning costs $95 – $175 in Orlando and catches problems before they become a carbon monoxide issue. Our techs inspect dozens of these converted fireplaces every week around Baldwin Park and College Park. Call (904) 822-8172 to schedule, estimates are free.
What’s that rusted metal piece inside my Orlando gas fireplace, and why is it stuck?
That’s your damper, and it’s stuck because Orlando’s summer humidity and storm season have rusted the mechanism solid. A seized damper on a gas fireplace is a serious safety issue, because it can trap carbon monoxide inside your home on the rare nights you actually light a fire. Replacement in Orlando runs $220 – $380, and we stock dampers locally at our Orlando office so most of these repairs are done in one visit. Call (904) 822-8172 and we’ll confirm what you’re seeing with a camera inspection before quoting anything.
