A mantel darkening above the unit
Mantels and shelves above the unit have clearances set by the manual, because heat and combustion products rise straight up the wall. A mantel that is too low or too deep darkens, and paint above it can yellow. Candles on the mantel add residue, and a television there sits right in the rising heat.
The mantel above your unit in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace is compared with the manual's clearance chart. If it is too close, the estimate lists the options, and who does any carpentry is named.

The order of a ventless fireplace service
-

-
Pilot, burner and logs serviced
The sensor pilot and burner are cleaned, the logs set to the diagram and worn parts replaced.
-
Leak checked and run through a cycle
Opened joints are leak checked, the flame is watched through a full cycle and findings are written down.
Lint and the sensor pilot in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace
Household lint and pet hair settle at the sensor pilot of a vent-free unit in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, and a little is enough to trip the shutoff early.
Where lint builds up quickly, we suggest cleaning more often than once a year, as the manuals allow.

The ventless service keeps our workmanship warranty, with 10% off the price.
Setting logs to the manual
Every vent-free log set comes with a placement diagram or photos, and the logs belong exactly where they show. A log moved an inch can sit in the flame path, and flame touching a log cools the flame and leaves soot.
After any cleaning, we set each log to the diagram and check the flame from the front and the sides. If a log is cracked or missing, it is replaced with the maker's log for that model, not a similar one. Logs are handled gently, since ceramic fiber logs chip and crack when dropped.
Leak checks after every repair
Any gas connection opened during service is tested before the unit is returned to use. The National Fuel Gas Code calls for leak checks with a leak-detection solution or an instrument, and rules out matches, candles or any open flame for the purpose.
We test each fitting we touched at operating pressure and write down that it was checked. A leak found upstream of the appliance's shutoff is named for the gas utility or a gas contractor. A leak found is fixed and rechecked before the unit is lit.
Vent-free sets and factory-built fireplaces
Section 621.7 of the fuel gas code and R1004.4 of the residential code bar unvented log heaters from factory-built fireplaces that lack a listing for them. The fireplace's label says whether it has one.
We read that label before servicing a set in a metal firebox. Where the combination is not listed, we write down what we found and explain the options rather than putting the set back into use. Moving the set to a masonry fireplace where it is allowed, or replacing the fireplace, are the alternatives we set out.
What we check on a vent-free unit in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace

- Inlet and manifold pressure measured against the rating plate
- Soot sources traced before any wall cleaning is priced
Before the unit is lit again
Could you set the sensor so it stops tripping?
No. The code forbids field adjustment of the oxygen depletion shutoff, and we never bypass it. A dirty pilot is cleaned, and a worn one is replaced with the listed assembly.
What does your satisfaction guarantee cover on vent-free service in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace?
