A smell every time the unit runs

A new vent-free unit, or new logs, can smell for the first few hours as coatings burn off, and makers say to run it with windows open at first. A smell that keeps coming back months later is something else: dust burning on the burner, lint at the pilot or a dirty flame. Odors from cleaning products or new paint in the room can also be picked up and carried by the flame.

We clean and service the unit in Fernandina Beach to the manual and check the flame for signs of incomplete burning. If the smell is gas rather than burning dust, everyone leaves the house first, and the call to 911 or the gas utility is made from outdoors.

Amelia Island Light can be found in Fernandina Beach. Fernandina Beach lies within Nassau County.

Nothing outside to rust in Fernandina Beach

Fernandina Beach is coastal, and salt air is hard on metal outdoors. A vent-free fireplace has no vent pipe, cap or termination outside, so the parts that suffer most near the ocean are not part of this unit.

What matters for a vent-free unit in Fernandina Beach is inside: the sensor pilot, the burner and the room it heats.

Cleaning the sensor pilot

The pilot assembly has a small air opening where dust and lint collect. Manuals describe cleaning it with low-pressure air or a soft brush, with the gas off and the unit cool, and warn against poking the openings with wire that can change their size.

We follow the method in the manual for your model, then relight and watch the pilot flame for its correct shape. The cleaning date goes on the ticket so the next one can be planned. Cleaning is followed by a full run, since a pilot that holds for a minute may still trip after ten.

Reading the pilot flame

The pilot flame on a vent-free set has a specific shape. One manual describes a correct natural gas pilot as blue with a slight curve, wrapping the thermocouple tip, with no yellow or orange. A lazy, yellow or lifting pilot is a sign of dirt, low gas or a worn assembly.

We compare the flame with the manual's drawing for your model after cleaning. What we saw before and after goes on the ticket, which makes the next visit quicker. The main burner flame is checked the same way, against the manual's description for the model.

Carbon monoxide alarms and vent-free units

Florida Statutes section 553.885 requires carbon monoxide alarms, placed within ten feet of any room people sleep in, in homes built from July 1, 2008 onward that contain a fossil-fuel appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. In any house with a vent-free unit, an alarm near the bedrooms is a sensible layer of protection.

We check whether an alarm is present and note it on the ticket. The alarm is not a substitute for a clean sensor pilot and a correctly sized unit; it is the backup to them. CO alarms wear out, and the replace-by date on the alarm says when.

Vent-free fireplace questions from Fernandina Beach

Why is there soot on my wall?

Logs out of place, flame touching the logs, a dirty burner, drafts or candles in the room are the usual sources. We check each one and fix the cause before the wall is cleaned.

Do you work on the gas line to the unit?

No. We service the appliance from its shutoff valve in. Supply piping and new gas lines belong to a gas contractor or the gas utility, and we name them when they are needed.
