Bringing a gas fireplace back after months off

Months without use leave a gas fireplace with things that stop it from starting. Spiders and insects build in pilot tubes and air openings, dust settles on the burner and in the control compartment, and batteries in receivers and backup packs corrode. Before you light it again in Murray Hill, a service visit clears those and checks the rest: pilot flame shape, burner ports, logs, gasket, blower and the vent termination outside. The manuals ask for a yearly inspection of the burner and the vent by a qualified service person, and after a long idle stretch that inspection is the right place to begin. Call (904) 920-5495 from Murray Hill with the make of the unit, and we will check parts first.

How It Works

How our gas fireplace pros find the fault in Murray Hill

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

Ignition modules that lock out in Murray Hill

An ignition module gives the pilot a set number of tries to light and prove its flame. If it fails, the module shuts the gas off and waits.

We read the lockout pattern on units in Murray Hill to find which part let the pilot down.

The thermopile and the switch circuit

A thermopile is a bundle of thermocouple junctions wired together, and its larger output does more than hold the valve open: it powers the valve's main operator through the wall switch or remote receiver. That makes the switch circuit part of the fuel system. A long wire run, thin wire, a corroded terminal or a worn switch can each drop enough voltage that the burner will not come on. The maker's chart gives the readings to take at the valve terminals, with the switch open and closed, and a short jumper across the switch shows whether the switch or the wire is at fault.

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.

Burner ports and ember material

The burner is a pan or tube with rows of small ports, and the flame pattern depends on every one of them. Dust, fallen ember material and bits of broken log block ports and make the flame lopsided or uneven. Ember material is its own part: the manual says what kind, how much and where it goes, for example a thin layer over a specific area. Too much of it over the ports smothers the flame and can cause sooting. On service we lift the logs, vacuum the burner, clear the ports and relay the embers as the manual shows.

FAQ

Before a part is ordered

Can my gas fireplace be used with cracked glass?

No. The manuals do not allow a sealed unit to run with cracked, broken or missing glass, because the glass is part of the seal that keeps exhaust out of the room. Leave it off until the maker's glass assembly is fitted.

Are vent-free gas fireplaces part of what you repair?

Yes, as a separate service. Vent-free units have an oxygen depletion sensor and room-size limits that make their service different, and that work is covered under ventless gas fireplace repair.
