Water on the windows when the unit runs

Every bit of water vapor a vent-free unit makes stays in the room. One manual's figure is about an ounce of water per hour for each thousand Btu of rated input, and it warns of mildew in a room without enough ventilation air. Water that condenses on cold surfaces can also stain paint and swell trim over time.

Fogged windows or damp walls near a unit in Fleming Island are a sign the room may be too small or too closed for the input. We measure the room, read the rating plate and write down what the code and the manual allow. The visit is free.

Fleming Island is on the St. Johns River. Fleming Island sits in Clay County.

Water vapor from a unit in Fleming Island

Water vapor goes into the room wherever the unit is, about an ounce per 1,000 Btu per hour by one manual's figure. In Fleming Island, fogged windows while it runs are a sign to check the room size.

The room is measured, and the ticket says whether the unit suits it.

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.

Ember material and where it goes

Vent-free sets may use rock wool, glowing embers or vermiculite to finish the look. Manuals say where it goes and how much, and one places rock wool at the front of the burner only. Too much, or ember material over the ports, disturbs the flame.

We remove old ember material that has spread onto the ports and replace it in the amount and position the manual shows. The ticket notes what was used, so it can be matched next time. Old ember material that has been sitting in soot is replaced rather than reused.

Matching parts to the gas on the plate

Pilots, burners and valves are made for natural gas or for propane, and the wrong one burns wrong. The gas a unit was built to burn is printed on its rating plate, and a conversion is allowed only with the maker's kit where the manual permits it.

We check which gas actually reaches the valve before ordering any gas-carrying part, so what arrives matches your supply. A conversion, where it is allowed, is priced as its own line with the kit named. A unit that was converted in the past is checked to confirm the conversion matches the gas now supplied.

Vent-free fireplace questions from Fleming Island

Why does my vent-free fireplace keep shutting off?

The oxygen depletion sensor may be tripping on lint or dust at the pilot, or the room may not hold enough air for the unit's input. We clean the pilot, measure the room and find out which it is.

Is the vent-free service visit in Fleming Island free?

The inspection is free: we read the rating plate, measure the room and check the flame, then leave a written estimate. Cleaning and parts are priced on it before any work.
