When the carbon monoxide alarm sounds
A carbon monoxide alarm going off while the gas fireplace runs is a reason to get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas utility before anyone touches the alarm. The manuals describe early exposure as feeling like the flu, with headaches, dizziness and nausea, and their advice is fresh air right away. Once the house has been cleared, a service visit in Atlantic Beach looks for the cause: a vent joint leaking, a sealed unit with a damaged gasket, a blocked termination, or a burner burning badly. The unit stays off until that cause is found and fixed. Pilot will not stay lit in Atlantic Beach? Call (904) 920-5495 and read us the rating plate.
Atlantic Beach sits on the coastline. Atlantic Beach lies roughly 14 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly rather than by road.

How It Works
How our gas fireplace pros find the fault in Atlantic Beach
-
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
Salt on the outside of direct-vent units
A direct-vent fireplace takes its combustion air in through the same termination that sends exhaust out. When salt and rust narrow the screen, both flows suffer and the flame changes.
In Atlantic Beach a lazy or sooty flame on a sealed unit sends us to the termination as well as the burner.

Reading a thermocouple under load
A thermocouple is two dissimilar metals joined at a tip that sits in the pilot flame. Heat at the junction makes a voltage measured in millivolts, and that voltage keeps the valve's safety magnet energized, which holds the pilot gas path open.
A thermocouple can read fine on the bench and still fail in the unit, so we measure it in place, with the pilot burning and the knob held in, and check the number against the troubleshooting chart in the maker's service literature. With a good flame, a low number points to the thermocouple. A good reading with a pilot that still drops points to the valve.
The blower's thermal switch
Blowers on gas fireplaces can be turned on by a thermal switch, a small disc that closes once the firebox reaches a set temperature and opens again after the unit cools. So a blower waits several minutes to start and runs for a while after shutdown.
A switch that no longer closes leaves the blower dead, and one that sticks closed leaves it running. We check the switch and the speed control, clean the wheel and housing, and confirm the blower has power at its outlet. A missing outlet is an electrician's job. The switch sits against the firebox, where the manual places it.
Insects in the pilot and air openings
Spiders and small insects are drawn to the pilot tube and the burner air openings of a gas fireplace that sits unused, and a web in the wrong place can starve the pilot or change the air mix at the burner. The manuals call for the burner, the control compartment and the air passages to be kept clean, and to be cleaned more frequently where lint, dust or pet hair is heavy. On a first service after an idle stretch, we clear the pilot tube, the pilot air opening and the burner openings before lighting the unit. Batteries in the receiver are checked for corrosion at the same time.

FAQ
Before a part is ordered
Do you service propane gas fireplaces?
Yes. Propane units use the same controls with different orifices and pressures, and we confirm the gas at the rating plate first. The tank and supply piping are the propane supplier's.
Are vent-free gas fireplaces part of what you repair?
Yes, as a separate service. Vent-free units have an oxygen depletion sensor and room-size limits that make their service different, and that work is covered under ventless gas fireplace repair.
