Relighting after the gas has been off

When the gas supply is shut off and restored, for work on the meter or after a storm, the pilot of a vent-free unit goes out. The manual's lighting procedure, including the wait it sets before relighting, applies every time. Air in a newly reopened gas line can take a few tries to clear at the pilot.

If the pilot will not relight or stay lit afterward in Middleburg, air in the line or dust stirred up at the sensor can be the cause, and we clear them as the manual describes.

Middleburg is in Clay County. The 2020 Census count for Middleburg was 12,881 people.

Room volume in Middleburg as anywhere

The code's limit of 20 Btu per hour per cubic foot applies in Middleburg just as it does everywhere in the state. A small room with a large unit is outside the rule wherever the house stands.

We show you the arithmetic for your room on the ticket.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Section 303.3 of the fuel gas code keeps unvented appliances out of sleeping rooms and bathrooms. Its exceptions cover only a single wall-hung heater with an oxygen depletion safety system, capped at 10,000 Btu per hour for sleeping rooms and 6,000 for bathrooms.

Fireplaces and log sets do not fit those exceptions. Where we find one in a bedroom, we write down what the code says and the options, including a vented unit, and leave the choice with you. A unit that met an older rule may still be sitting in a bedroom, and we point that out when we find it.

The water a vent-free unit makes

Burning gas makes water vapor, and a vent-free unit leaves it in the room. One manual figures roughly an ounce of it per hour for every thousand Btu of input, and warns that a room without enough ventilation air can grow mildew.

Fogged windows, damp corners or a musty smell near a unit point to a room that is too closed or too small for its input. We measure the room, and the estimate explains whether the unit suits it. Condensation on cold windows or walls near the unit is the first visible sign of it.

Igniters, remotes and thermostats

Vent-free units are lit by a piezo igniter or an electronic system, and some run from a remote or a thermostat. A worn electrode, a drifted spark gap, a dead receiver battery or a loose wire can each stop the unit while the gas side is fine.

We test the controls from the batteries to the valve connection and replace worn parts with the maker's pieces. Where the controls allow it, we also show you how to light and run the unit by hand, so a failed remote is not the end of the evening. Batteries in remotes and receivers are checked during a service.

Before the unit is lit again

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.

Is my room big enough for the unit?

The room is measured, every unvented appliance in it is added up, and we compare the total with the code's limit of 20 Btu per hour per cubic foot. The arithmetic is written on your ticket.
