Wood stove in need of service and cleaning in a Southwest Montana home

When Your Fireplace Stops Working, You Feel It

A fireplace that won't light on a cold Montana night isn't just inconvenient — it's a problem that needs solving. Maybe the pilot light keeps going out, the gas valve isn't responding, or the blower fan sounds like it's giving up. Whatever's going on, you shouldn't have to guess your way through a repair or wonder if the person showing up actually knows your unit.

At Perry's Fireplace & Stove, we've been repairing fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stoves across the Butte–Helena corridor for over ninety years. Our technicians are in-house employees — not subcontractors pulled from a phone list — and they work on these units every single day. Gas fireplaces, direct-vent inserts, freestanding wood stoves, pellet appliances — we've seen every brand, every failure mode, and every odd installation.

We carry thermocouples, thermopiles, gas valves, ignition modules, auger motors, combustion fans, gaskets, firebrick, and other common parts in stock. That means most repairs get finished in a single visit — no waiting weeks for a part to ship while you bundle up in blankets. And when we diagnose a problem, we explain what's wrong, what it'll cost to fix, and whether the repair makes financial sense for your situation. No guesswork, no inflated quotes, no pressure to replace a unit that still has years of life left.

Whether you're in Butte, Helena, Anaconda, Whitehall, or anywhere in between — if your fireplace or stove needs help, we're the team to call.

What We Do

Gas Fireplace Repair

Pilot lights that won't stay lit, gas valves that won't open, faulty ignition systems, and worn-out thermocouples — these are the most common gas fireplace failures, and we fix them every week. We work on all major brands, carry most parts in stock, and can usually get your unit running again in a single visit.

Wood & Pellet Stove Service

Wood stoves and pellet stoves take a beating during Montana winters. Auger motors wear out, combustion fans fail, gaskets deteriorate, and firebrick cracks. We service all major brands — including Regency, Hampton, and Pacific Energy — and we'll get your stove back in working order.

Annual Maintenance

An annual tune-up keeps your fireplace or stove running safely and efficiently. We'll clean the unit, check the gas connections, inspect the venting, test the ignition system, and make sure everything's ready for the heating season. It's the single best thing you can do to avoid mid-winter breakdowns.

Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

Strange smells, poor heat output, a unit that won't ignite, or one that keeps shutting off — if something doesn't seem right, call us. Our technicians will run a full diagnostic, identify the root cause, and give you a clear explanation of what's going on and what it'll take to fix it.

Fireplace Repair FAQ

How much does fireplace repair cost?
Most common fireplace repairs in the Butte–Helena area run between $150 and $400, depending on the issue and the parts involved. A simple thermocouple or thermopile replacement is on the lower end, while gas valve replacements or control board issues can run higher. We'll diagnose the problem and give you an honest quote before we start any work — no hidden fees, no surprises.
My gas fireplace won't light — what should I do?
Start by checking the obvious: make sure the gas valve is open, the pilot light is lit, and the batteries in your remote or wall switch are fresh. If those check out and the unit still won't ignite, the issue is likely a faulty thermocouple, thermopile, or ignition module. Don't keep trying to force it — schedule a service call and we'll diagnose it safely.
Do you service wood stoves and pellet stoves?
Yes. We service all major brands of wood stoves and pellet stoves, including Regency, Hampton, and Pacific Energy. Common repairs include auger motor replacement, combustion fan service, gasket replacement, and firebrick work. We carry most replacement parts in stock, so repairs usually get finished in a single visit.
How often should I have my fireplace serviced?
We recommend an annual service for any fireplace or stove — gas, wood, or pellet. An annual tune-up catches small problems before they turn into expensive ones, keeps your unit running efficiently, and makes sure everything is safe for the heating season. Schedule your annual service today.
Do you carry replacement parts?
Yes. We stock thermocouples, thermopiles, gas valves, ignition modules, blower fans, gaskets, firebrick, and other common parts for most major brands. If we don't have it on the shelf, we can usually get it within a few business days.
