A remote or thermostat that stopped responding
Remote-controlled vent-free units depend on a receiver near the valve, batteries in both parts and a pairing between them. A dead receiver battery, a loose wire or a receiver cooked by heat can each leave the remote useless while the unit itself is fine. Heat near the valve can shorten a receiver's life if it sits too close.
We work through the control system on your unit in Murray Hill from the batteries to the valve connection, and replace the receiver or remote with the maker's parts if needed. Where the valve allows it, we also show you how to run the unit by hand.
Murray Hill sits in Duval County. Murray Hill does not reach the coast.

Water vapor from a unit in Murray Hill
Water vapor goes into the room wherever the unit is, about an ounce per 1,000 Btu per hour by one manual's figure. In Murray Hill, fogged windows while it runs are a sign to check the room size.
The room is measured, and the ticket says whether the unit suits it.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Vent-free work booked before 72 hours have passed since the inspection comes 10% off.
Working out the room volume
The code allows no more than 20 Btu per hour of unvented input for each cubic foot of the room or space. The room's volume is its length times its width times its ceiling height. A 14 by 18 foot room with a 9 foot ceiling has 2,268 cubic feet, enough for 45,360 Btu per hour, which is more than the 40,000 cap anyway.
Smaller rooms fall short fast, and every unvented appliance in the room counts toward the total. We measure the space, add up the inputs and show the arithmetic on the ticket. Sloped or vaulted ceilings are measured at their real height, section by section, not guessed from the floor area.
An added heat source, not the only one
The fuel gas code does not allow an unvented room heater to be the sole source of comfort heating in a dwelling. The house needs another heating system, and the vent-free unit adds warmth to its room.
We note on the ticket whether the house has another heat source, since a vent-free unit carrying the whole home's heating goes beyond what the code allows and what its room can handle for long hours. Long, continuous running also adds more water vapor and more combustion products to the room than occasional use does.
Leak checks after every repair
Any gas connection opened during service is tested before the unit is returned to use. The National Fuel Gas Code calls for leak checks with a leak-detection solution or an instrument, and rules out matches, candles or any open flame for the purpose.
We test each fitting we touched at operating pressure and write down that it was checked. A leak found upstream of the appliance's shutoff is named for the gas utility or a gas contractor. A leak found is fixed and rechecked before the unit is lit.
Plate, room, pilot and logs, in writing
- Sensor pilot cleaned by the manual's method, flame shape checked
- Burner ports and air inlet cleaned with the gas off
- Carbon monoxide alarm presence noted on the ticket
- Bedroom, bathroom and sole-heat rules checked for the unit
Vent-free fireplace questions from Murray Hill
Is same-day vent-free service possible in Murray Hill?
When the day's schedule has room, yes. Reading us the model from the rating plate helps us bring the right pilot parts.
Why is there soot on my wall?
Logs out of place, flame touching the logs, a dirty burner, drafts or candles in the room are the usual sources. We check each one and fix the cause before the wall is cleaned.
