Logs cracked or knocked out of place

Ceramic fiber logs crack when dropped, crumble with age and get shifted during cleaning. On a vent-free set, a log even slightly out of position can push the flame into it, and the result is soot on the wall within days. Logs from another set, even one that looks similar, are not a substitute.

We replace damaged logs on units in Brentwood with the maker's logs for the model and set every piece to the manual's diagram. The ticket lists which logs were replaced, so the next service starts from the right parts.

Brentwood sits in Duval County. Brentwood is inland.

Storm season and gas shutoffs in Brentwood

Hurricane season, which the National Hurricane Center runs from June 1 to November 30, can bring a gas shutoff to inland homes too. Afterward, the pilot of a vent-free unit in Brentwood has to be relit by the manual's steps.

If it will not hold, we clear the sensor and check the supply at the valve.

What vent-free means for the room

A vented gas fireplace sends its combustion products outdoors through a vent. A vent-free unit sends them into the room it heats, water vapor included. That single fact is why the code and the manuals put so many limits on where and how these units run.

Section 621 of the Florida fuel gas code permits unvented room heaters listed to ANSI Z21.11.2, installed inside those limits. Every service visit checks the unit against them, not only the parts that have failed. It also means the room itself is part of the appliance's design, which a vented unit never asks of it.

Working out the room volume

The code allows no more than 20 Btu per hour of unvented input for each cubic foot of the room or space. The room's volume is its length times its width times its ceiling height. A 14 by 18 foot room with a 9 foot ceiling has 2,268 cubic feet, enough for 45,360 Btu per hour, which is more than the 40,000 cap anyway.

Smaller rooms fall short fast, and every unvented appliance in the room counts toward the total. We measure the space, add up the inputs and show the arithmetic on the ticket. Sloped or vaulted ceilings are measured at their real height, section by section, not guessed from the floor area.

Igniters, remotes and thermostats

Vent-free units are lit by a piezo igniter or an electronic system, and some run from a remote or a thermostat. A worn electrode, a drifted spark gap, a dead receiver battery or a loose wire can each stop the unit while the gas side is fine.

We test the controls from the batteries to the valve connection and replace worn parts with the maker's pieces. Where the controls allow it, we also show you how to light and run the unit by hand, so a failed remote is not the end of the evening. Batteries in remotes and receivers are checked during a service.
