A pilot that will not stay lit
On a vent-free set, the pilot and the oxygen depletion sensor are one assembly. When the pilot flame is weak, lifts off or burns the wrong shape, the thermocouple does not get hot enough, and the gas shuts off as soon as the knob is released. The thermocouple itself can also wear out, even when the flame looks right.
We check the pilot flame on your unit in Doctors Inlet against the manual, clean the assembly and test the thermocouple circuit. A worn assembly is replaced with the one listed for your model and gas, and every joint we open is leak checked.
Doctors Inlet is part of Clay County. Doctors Inlet is an inland community.

Inland or coastal, the room decides in Doctors Inlet
Doctors Inlet is inland, and for a vent-free unit that changes little, since there is no vent outside to weather. What decides how the unit behaves is the room it heats and how clean its pilot and burner are.
Every visit in Doctors Inlet includes the room measurement and a service to the manual.

Cleaning, log placement or a new sensor, each is discounted.
How the oxygen depletion sensor works
On a vent-free set, the oxygen depletion sensor is built into the pilot. The pilot flame is shaped to play on a thermocouple. As oxygen in the room drops, the flame lifts off, the thermocouple cools, and the valve shuts off the gas to the pilot and burner.
The same thing happens when lint or dust starves the pilot of air, which is why a dirty sensor can trip in a room with plenty of oxygen. Cleaning the pilot comes first, done as the manual describes. The design means the sensor responds to the air right at the pilot, which is why lint and drafts at that spot matter so much.
The water a vent-free unit makes
Burning gas makes water vapor, and a vent-free unit leaves it in the room. One manual figures roughly an ounce of it per hour for every thousand Btu of input, and warns that a room without enough ventilation air can grow mildew.
Fogged windows, damp corners or a musty smell near a unit point to a room that is too closed or too small for its input. We measure the room, and the estimate explains whether the unit suits it. Condensation on cold windows or walls near the unit is the first visible sign of it.
Children, pets and hot surfaces
The front and top of a running vent-free unit get hot enough to burn, and the manuals warn to supervise young children in the room with the heater. Pets, blankets and clothing belong away from the front.
We point out the hot areas and the manual's clearances for furnishings at the end of every service. A screen or barrier suited to the model can be priced if you want one. Glass or screens on some units get hot enough to burn skin on contact, and they stay hot after the flame is off.
