Natural gas or propane

Vent-free units are built and listed for one gas, shown on the rating plate. Running a natural gas unit on propane, or the reverse, changes the flame and the sensor's behavior, and a conversion is allowed only with the maker's kit where the manual permits it. The wrong gas can make a flame too tall or too weak, and neither is safe.

We confirm the gas at the unit in Keystone Heights before ordering any pilot or burner part, and if a conversion is wanted, we check whether the maker offers one for your model. The answer goes in writing.

Drafts from fans and returns in Keystone Heights

Inland homes in Keystone Heights with ceiling fans or a return grille near the fireplace can pull air across a vent-free burner. Manuals list those drafts among the causes of flame contact and soot.

We check where the air moves and note what should change while the unit runs.

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.

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.

When a vent-free unit should be retired

Some vent-free units cannot be put right: the maker no longer supplies the sensor pilot, the unit sits in a room it can never be sized for, or it is in a bedroom where the code does not allow it. Service cannot fix any of those.

In those cases, we say so plainly and explain the replacement options, from a vented gas fireplace to a unit that fits the room. The recommendation and its reasons are written down. Removing an old unit and capping its gas connection is work for a gas contractor, and we say so.

Before the unit is lit again

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.

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.
