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.

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.

What a correct pilot flame looks like

Each manual shows its pilot flame in a drawing, and the drawing matters. On a standing-pilot assembly of the kind the manuals draw, one flame wraps the tip of the thermocouple or flame sensor, another wraps the thermopile, and a third reaches toward the main burner to light it. A flame that is too small leaves the sensors cool, and one that is too large can lift or sit in the wrong place.

We compare the live flame with the drawing, clean the pilot hood and orifice if the flame is weak or yellow, and adjust the pilot where the valve provides for it. The adjustment is small and made with the unit running.

Flame sensing on electronic ignition

Electronic-ignition units prove the pilot with a flame rod rather than a thermocouple. The module sends a small current through the flame to the rod and back through the ground, and only when it sees that current does it open the main valve.

A rod with a coating of oxide, a cracked ceramic insulator, a loose ground wire or a pilot flame that no longer covers the rod can each break that path. The maker's flow chart asks for a steady blue flame covering the rod. We clean or replace the rod, restore the ground and adjust the pilot to match.

The blower's thermal switch

Blowers on gas fireplaces can be turned on by a thermal switch, a small disc that closes once the firebox reaches a set temperature and opens again after the unit cools. So a blower waits several minutes to start and runs for a while after shutdown.

A switch that no longer closes leaves the blower dead, and one that sticks closed leaves it running. We check the switch and the speed control, clean the wheel and housing, and confirm the blower has power at its outlet. A missing outlet is an electrician's job. The switch sits against the firebox, where the manual places it.

Gas fireplace questions from Middleburg

Can you fix a gas fireplace in Middleburg the same day?

Whenever an open slot allows, same-day service is available. A repair can be finished on the first visit when the part is on the truck, and parts that have to be ordered are listed on the estimate with their expected date.

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.
