We are an independent service provider and we are not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Gelco. We’re also not a generalist handyman outfit that happens to own a set of chimney brushes. Chimney work is all we do, and that focus shows up in how we handle a Gelco chase top, a soot-glazed flue, or a direct-vent burner that won’t hold a steady flame.

Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.

Why Trust Fishers Chimney Sweep for Your Gelco Chimney Cleaning?

Trust on a Gelco job comes down to two things: knowing how these units are built, and knowing which replacement parts actually fit the opening in front of you without creating a new problem.

Gelco equipment shows up in Fishers in predictable ways. An older wood-burning firebox will have cracked refractory panels after enough hot burns. A direct-vent gas insert will drift toward a weak, sputtering flame once the burner ports load up with dust and lint. A firebox-to-flue collar can rust through and let water drip onto the damper shelf. Recognising those patterns is not something you learn from a manufacturer’s spec sheet. It’s what you pick up working on these units year after year.

Where parts are concerned, we’re careful about fit. We work with quality parts that fit Gelco equipment, and we compare what’s actually available against proven aftermarket options rather than forcing a part that was never meant for the unit. We stay warranty-safe with everything we install, so a repair doesn’t create a bigger question later. And because we’re a chimney-only specialist, you’re not getting a generalist who dabbles in fireplaces between other jobs.

Common Gelco Chimney Cleaning Problems We Fix in Fishers

The following are the patterns we run into most with Gelco products around Fishers, and what’s usually behind them.

• Cracked or warped firebox panels and refractory liners. Years of hot burns in an older Gelco wood-burning firebox will eventually crack the refractory panels. Small hairline cracks are common. Cracks you can catch a fingernail in, or panels that have warped away from the frame, mean the firebox is no longer containing heat the way it should.
• Pivot and throat damper hardware that seizes. A Gelco throat damper that won’t open fully, drops out of alignment, or no longer seats flush lets heat and smoke past the firebox. This is one of the most common causes of a fireplace that smokes into the room on light-up.
• Weak or flickering flame in a Gelco direct-vent gas unit. Dirty burners, a blocked venturi, or a failed thermocouple or pilot assembly will all cause a flame that won’t burn steady. It’s a diagnostic problem before it’s a parts problem, and the order matters.
• Rust-through and gasket failure at the firebox-to-flue collar. This is where water and creosote start dripping onto the damper shelf. In a Fishers home with a wood-framed chase, that leak often tracks further than owners expect.
• Chase-top and cap failures feeding moisture into the system. Fishers grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, so much of the housing stock here is factory-built metal fireplace in a framed chase. Central Indiana’s freeze-thaw swings and wet springs are hard on those chase tops and caps, and a rusted or badly sealed cap that’s been leaking for years gets misdiagnosed as a roof problem until someone gets up top and finds the real source.

Any of these is reason enough to book a level 2 inspection before burning season. Call (844) 761-5757 for a free estimate.

Gelco Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

Our stance on parts is straightforward: we use quality parts that fit your Gelco equipment, and we won’t stock or claim genuine OEM parts we can’t verify. Gelco firebox panels, dampers and gas valves are often discontinued or special-order, which means a pro has to weigh what’s actually available against a proven aftermarket damper or gasket sized for the same opening.

On repair versus replace, we lean toward repair when the firebox and venting are structurally sound. A seized damper, a tired gasket, or a dirty gas burner is usually fixable without tearing into the unit. We steer toward replacement when firebox panels are cracked beyond patching, because at that point you’re not restoring containment, you’re just postponing a bigger problem.

You’ll get a written estimate before any work starts, and the price is set per job. Call (844) 761-5757 for a free estimate.

Our Gelco Service Process – Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis. We start with a level 2 inspection for Gelco fireplaces and inserts, using a camera to look past the firebox into the flue and up to the chase top. On a direct-vent gas unit, we check the burner, venturi, thermocouple and pilot assembly before recommending a part.
2. 2
   Repair or install. Depending on what the inspection finds, we sweep the flue, re-seat or replace the damper, fit a correctly sized gasket or panel, or clean and service the gas components. Every part is chosen for fit, not convenience.
3. 3
   Test. We test the unit after the work: a test burn on wood units to check draft and damper operation, a flame check on gas units to confirm steady combustion. Nothing gets signed off until the unit behaves the way it should.
4. 4
   Warranty-safe documentation. We note what was replaced and why, so the work is documented properly and doesn’t create warranty questions down the road.

Gelco Products We Service & Install in Fishers

We service the Gelco product types common in Fishers homes, including Gelco wood-burning fireplaces with a masonry-style steel firebox and glass doors, Gelco gas fireplaces and direct-vent inserts, Gelco fireplace inserts in both wood and gas variants, and Gelco vented gas log sets and burner assemblies. Each of those comes with its own diagnostic checklist, and we treat them as separate systems rather than one generic fireplace.

We handle fireplace insert work and damper repair as part of that service, and we’re honest about what needs attention now versus what can wait. Call (844) 761-5757 for a free estimate.

We Also Service These Brands

We’re not tied to a single brand. Alongside Gelco work, we service DuraFlex and HeatShield systems, and our HeatShield capability means we can resurface and restore a deteriorating flue liner without a full liner tear-out when the condition allows it. That broader brand range matters when a Gelco fireplace and its liner or cap need to be worked on together.

Will service void my Gelco warranty?
