A pilot that lights and then goes out
When a standing pilot lights while you hold the knob and dies as soon as you let go, the gas valve is not getting proof that the pilot is burning. The proof is a small voltage from a thermocouple sitting in the pilot flame. We read that voltage with a meter while the pilot runs in your Middleburg living room, and compare it with the maker's figure.
A low reading can mean a worn thermocouple, a pilot flame that no longer wraps it, or a loose connection at the valve. Each is a different repair, and the reading tells us which. Call (904) 920-5495 from Middleburg with the make of the unit, and we will check parts first.

How It Works
From rating plate to test burn in Middleburg
-
Rating plate read, fault watched
The plate gives the maker, the model and the gas, and we watch the unit try to do what you called about.
-
Meter and manometer readings
Thermocouple, thermopile or flame rod output and the gas pressures are checked against the maker's chart.
-
Listed part fitted, leak checked
The failed part is replaced from the maker's list, and every connection opened gets a leak-detection solution.
-
Burner, logs and vent set right
Ports are cleaned, the logs go back on the diagram and the vent is checked before we light it with you.
Local Conditions
Propane fireplaces in Middleburg
Propane units use the same controls as natural gas units with different orifices and pressures. The rating plate names the gas, and the parts must match it.
For propane fireplaces in Middleburg, the tank and the supply piping are the propane supplier's, and we say when the fault is theirs.

When the gas valve itself has failed
A gas valve is replaced only after the parts around it test good. If the thermocouple produces a healthy reading and the pilot still drops out, or the thermopile and the switch circuit test good and the main burner will not open, the valve is the remaining suspect, and the maker's chart says so. The replacement comes from the maker's list for that model and gas type. Once it is in, the connections are leak-checked with solution, inlet and manifold pressures are read against the rating plate, and the unit is taken through a full lighting cycle before we leave.
The air shutter and the flame
Some burners have an air shutter near the orifice that sets how much primary air mixes with the gas before it burns. Too little air gives tall, dark, sooty flames; too much can make the flame short and noisy or lift it off the burner. The manual describes what the flame should look like at full rate after the unit has run for a while, and some decorative units are meant to show yellow flames.
We adjust the shutter only after the logs, embers and ports are right, and only within the range the manual allows. An adjustment outside that range is not made.
Checking the vent termination outside
The vent termination is the part of a gas fireplace that sits outside, out of sight from the room, and it is where trouble from outside starts. Nests, leaves and wasp activity can block its openings, a shrub can grow into the clear zone in front of it, and a knock from a ladder or a mower can dent the cap.
On a direct-vent unit, a blocked or damaged termination can also let exhaust into the intake. On service we walk outside, check the cap, its screen and its clearances, and note any growth or damage. Plants are trimmed back to the clear zone the manual sets.

FAQ
Gas fireplace questions from Middleburg
Do you service propane gas fireplaces?
Yes. Propane units use the same controls with different orifices and pressures, and we confirm the gas at the rating plate first. The tank and supply piping are the propane supplier's.
What happens if the problem is the gas line?
The gas piping that feeds the appliance shutoff valve is run and repaired by a gas contractor, your gas utility or the propane supplier. We tell you what we measured, name who to call, and finish the fireplace repair once the supply is right.
