The pilot is lit, the burner will not come on
A pilot that burns steadily while the main burner ignores the switch or remote points past the pilot, to the circuit that tells the valve to open. On a millivolt unit that circuit is powered by the thermopile, and a weak thermopile, a dirty switch contact or a long run of thin wire can each leave the valve short of the voltage it needs. We test the thermopile output, then the circuit at the valve terminals, then the valve itself. Done in that order, the tests find the fault in the Arlington unit without buying a part that was not the problem. The first look at your Arlington gas fireplace costs nothing, and (904) 920-5495 is the number.
More than about six miles separate Arlington from the coast. Jacksonville University lies within Arlington.

How It Works
How our gas fireplace pros find the fault in Arlington
-
Rating plate read, fault watched
The plate gives the maker, the model and the gas, and we watch the unit try to do what you called about.
-
Meter and manometer readings
Thermocouple, thermopile or flame rod output and the gas pressures are checked against the maker's chart.
-
Listed part fitted, leak checked
The failed part is replaced from the maker's list, and every connection opened gets a leak-detection solution.
-
Burner, logs and vent set right
Ports are cleaned, the logs go back on the diagram and the vent is checked before we light it with you.
Local Conditions
Ticks and pings from a warming unit in Arlington
Steel fireboxes expand as they heat and contract as they cool, and the manuals describe some ticking and pinging as normal.
A new noise, or a loud bang at start-up in Arlington, is different and worth a service visit.

When the gas valve itself has failed
A gas valve is replaced only after the parts around it test good. If the thermocouple produces a healthy reading and the pilot still drops out, or the thermopile and the switch circuit test good and the main burner will not open, the valve is the remaining suspect, and the maker's chart says so. The replacement comes from the maker's list for that model and gas type. Once it is in, the connections are leak-checked with solution, inlet and manifold pressures are read against the rating plate, and the unit is taken through a full lighting cycle before we leave.
Pressure at the test ports
A fireplace gas valve carries two small test ports, one on the inlet side and one on the outlet or manifold side. A manometer on each tells whether gas is arriving at the pressure the rating plate calls for and leaving at the pressure the burner needs. Low inlet pressure is a supply problem outside the appliance. Correct inlet with low manifold pressure points into the valve or its regulator. Readings are taken with the burner lit, since a supply that looks fine at rest can sag under load, and each port is resealed and leak-checked after.
Carbon monoxide and a gas fireplace
A vented gas fireplace is built to send its exhaust outside, and carbon monoxide becomes a risk inside when that path fails: a blocked vent, a leaking joint, a gasket that no longer seals or a burner running rich. The manuals list the early signs of exposure as flu-like, headaches, dizziness and nausea, and tell you to get fresh air at once and have the unit inspected.
A carbon monoxide alarm near the sleeping rooms is the backstop, since the gas has no smell. Service checks the vent path and the seal each visit. The alarm does not replace the yearly check of the vent.
Free Inspection
Measured in Arlington before a part is replaced
- Thermocouple or thermopile output read under load and compared with the chart
- Flame rod, spark electrode and ignition cable checked for wear
- Leak check with solution on each connection opened or replaced
- Glass gasket and seal checked on sealed direct-vent units
FAQ
Before a part is ordered
Will you replace the thermocouple without testing it?
No. We read it with a meter in place first, because a weak pilot flame or a valve fault can cause the same symptom. The estimate shows the reading next to the part.
Can my gas fireplace be used with cracked glass?
No. The manuals do not allow a sealed unit to run with cracked, broken or missing glass, because the glass is part of the seal that keeps exhaust out of the room. Leave it off until the maker's glass assembly is fitted.
