Yes, even gas fireplaces that are rarely used should still be inspected periodically.
Annual inspection is commonly recommended for most hearth appliances.
Even if a fireplace is not used frequently, issues can still develop.
Examples include:
These issues may affect safe operation.
Gas fireplaces burn natural gas or propane.
That combustion process still produces exhaust gases that must vent properly.
Regular inspection helps verify that the venting system is working correctly.

• unusual odors
• difficulty lighting
• soot buildup
• changes in flame appearance
