Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Fireplace
Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Fireplace
Summer is the perfect season to relax outdoors — but before you settle in for long evenings by the fire, make sure your fireplace and outdoor appliances are clean, safe, and ready for action. Seasonal maintenance ensures your equipment performs at its best while helping you get the most out of your backyard setup.
Here are a few practical summer maintenance tips tailored for outdoor fireplaces and appliances you’ll actually use this season.
1. Clean & Inspect Your Outdoor Fireplace
Your outdoor fireplace is a focal point — whether you use it for entertaining or simply enjoying quiet nights under the stars. A quick seasonal check can keep it running efficiently and looking its best.
If you own a gas model like the Regency HZO60, check the burner ports for any blockages and wipe down the frame and glass for a clear, polished look. This stunning linear unit is designed for outdoor luxury — but a little maintenance keeps that upscale experience consistent.
For a wood-burning option like the RAIS Gizeh, remove any leftover ash or debris and check that the airflow isn’t obstructed. Made of durable Corten Steel, the Gizehn will develop a beautiful patina over time — but brushing off any buildup helps preserve its sculptural form.
2. Add Warmth with Outdoor Heating Solutions
Even on warm days, evenings in Canada can cool down quickly. Patio heaters, fire bowls, and fire tables are a great way to keep your outdoor space usable and welcoming well into the night.
Our range of heating solutions offers comfort and control with modern style. Such as the Callaway 40 from Kozy Heat which is a show stopping visual with options to bring finishing combustibles right to the edge. From compact units to statement-making fire tables, we can help you choose the right fit for your outdoor space.

3. Refresh & Upgrade Your Outdoor Space
Summer is also a great time to refresh your layout. Consider upgrading your fire feature or adding a new appliance like an outdoor electric fireplace to create a cozy focal point on a porch or covered deck.
Want something that truly stands out? A sculptural model like the RAIS Circle adds style and conversation-starting appeal, while the Regency PTO30 gives you a sleek, modern fire wall to gather around.
