Chimney, Fireplace, Gas, and Dryer Vent Services in Orlando, FL
Orlando is really two housing markets in one city. In College Park, Lake Eola Heights, and Delaney Park you have brick chimneys built in the 1920s that need restoration and relining. Ten miles out in Lake Nona, Avalon Park, and Baldwin Park you have factory-built fireboxes in framed chases that fail in a completely different way. The right repair depends entirely on which one you are standing in front of.
Always Fire & Gas has been a family-owned Florida company since 1982. We hold two state contractor licenses and national certifications across chimneys, fireplaces, gas, and dryer vents, which means we can diagnose the problem and legally complete the repair without handing you to a second contractor halfway through.
- Florida Contractor License (#CRC1333200)
- Certified Category V Gas License (#LI45277)
- Certified Master Chimney Technician (#34)
- CSIA and NFI certified in chimneys, fireplaces, gas, and dryer vents
- BBB Accredited with an A+ rating
Whether you are restoring a historic chimney, installing a fireplace in a new build, running a gas line for an outdoor kitchen, or getting a dryer vent cleared, you are working with a licensed, certified team rather than a handyman.
Why Orlando Homeowners Call Us
Orlando neighborhoods were built decades apart, and their fireplaces and chimneys reflect it:
- College Park
1920s and 1930s bungalows with original brick chimneys. Crown repair, relining, and leak diagnosis come up far more often than a straightforward sweep, and preserving the original exterior is usually part of the job. - Lake Eola Heights, Thornton Park, and Delaney Park
Orlando’s historic districts, where masonry restoration has to respect the character of the home and, on designated properties, the local preservation review process. - Baldwin Park and Audubon Park
Early 2000s construction alongside established mid-century homes. Prefabricated fireboxes, chase covers, and factory venting rather than full masonry. - Dr. Phillips and Bay Hill
Estate homes where gas fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and standby generator connections are the usual requests, often with more than one unit in the same house. - Lake Nona, Avalon Park, and Waterford Lakes
Newer master-planned communities in south and east Orlando. Chase cover replacement, dryer vent cleaning and rerouting, and gas appliance installation make up most of the work.

Imagine This
- In College Park
a 1926 brick chimney is relined and waterproofed, leaving the original exterior untouched and the fireplace safe to use again. - In Dr. Phillips
a gas line is run to a new outdoor kitchen and a standby generator on the same visit, permitted and pressure tested under one license. - In Baldwin Park
a rusted chase cover is replaced before storm season, stopping a leak that had been misdiagnosed twice as a roof problem. - In Lake Nona
a homeowner in a newer build gets a restrictive dryer vent rerouted and receives a full before-and-after photo report.
What's Different About Working on Orlando Homes
An Orlando mailing address does not always mean Orlando city limits
Plenty of homes with an Orlando address sit in unincorporated Orange County rather than inside the city. That distinction matters for permitted work, because it determines which building department reviews the job. We confirm jurisdiction before pulling a permit, which avoids the delay of filing in the wrong place.
Historic district work has an extra review step
Homes in Orlando's designated historic districts can require preservation review before exterior masonry work proceeds. On a chimney rebuild or a crown repair that changes the visible exterior, that review is part of the timeline and needs to be planned for rather than discovered halfway through.
Natural gas is common here, unlike our northern counties
Much of Orlando has natural gas distribution, where the rural counties north of here run mostly on propane. That shifts the work toward range conversions, appliance hookups, and connections to existing service rather than new tank installations. The first question on any gas quote is what actually serves your street.
Prefabricated fireboxes outnumber masonry outside the historic core
Most Orlando homes built in the last twenty-five years have factory-built fireboxes in framed chases. They fail differently from masonry: chase covers corrode and leak, factory venting degrades, and components must be replaced with listed parts rather than rebuilt. Treating a prefab like masonry is one of the more common mistakes we get called in to correct.
Storm season drives the generator work
Central Florida's exposure to hurricanes and extended outages makes standby generators common. The gas supply connection is licensed work and it is frequently the step that stalls an install when the generator vendor is not a licensed gas contractor. We handle that piece ourselves.
