An igniter that clicks but does not light
A piezo igniter that clicks without lighting the pilot may have a cracked electrode, a gap that has drifted, a loose wire or a pilot starved of gas. Holding the knob down and clicking harder does not fix any of those. Some units use an electronic igniter instead, with its own battery or power supply.
Spark, electrode gap and the gas reaching the pilot are all checked on your unit in Crawford, and a worn igniter is replaced with the maker's part. The pilot flame is checked for shape once it lights.
Crawford sits in Nassau County. Crawford sits away from the coastline.

The input limit for a vent-free unit
No unvented room heater may be rated above 40,000 Btu per hour under the fuel gas code. The figure on the rating plate is what counts, and it sets how much air, and how large a room, the unit needs.
We read the input from the plate on every service and write it on the ticket. A unit rated above what its room allows is not fixed by turning it down, since the limits apply to the rating, and the estimate says what the options are. Units sold in the past may not match the current rules, so the plate on your unit is what we go by.
Why the sensor is never adjusted
Section 621.6 of the fuel gas code requires an oxygen-depletion safety shutoff that stops the gas at the maker's set point, which the code bounds, and it forbids field adjustment. The set point is part of what the unit was tested and listed with.
We do not bend, bypass or adjust a sensor pilot to keep a unit running. If cleaning does not stop nuisance trips, the listed assembly is replaced, and if the trips come from the room, the estimate says so. A unit found with a bent or bypassed sensor is taken out of service until it is put right.
The first hours on new logs or a new unit
New logs and a new unit can give off an odor for the first hours of use as binders and coatings burn off. One maker's manual calls for an initial run with windows open to clear it.
When we install new logs or parts, we explain the smell to expect and how long that first run should last. An odor that lasts beyond that is a reason to call us back, and the ticket gives the date for reference. Pets and anyone sensitive to odors are best kept out of the room during that first run.

Vent-free fireplace questions from Crawford
Is same-day vent-free service possible in Crawford?
When the day's schedule has room, yes. Reading us the model from the rating plate helps us bring the right pilot parts.
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.
