Gas inserts in older fireplaces

Sliding into an existing fireplace, a gas insert is a sealed firebox with vent pipes running up inside the old chimney to the top. When one fails, the repair covers the same parts as a built-in unit, the pilot, valve, burner and controls, plus the vent connection that runs out of sight.

On an insert in Nassau Village-Ratliff, we pull the unit forward where the manual allows, check the vent collars and the connection at the top, and test the controls. Insert repairs are kept apart from anything wrong with the fireplace around it. Where the old chimney has problems of its own, those are written up separately for the chimney side of the work. Get on our Nassau Village-Ratliff gas fireplace schedule at (904) 920-5495, or use the short form.

After a long idle season in Nassau Village-Ratliff

A gas fireplace that has sat unused for months can have spider webs in the pilot tube and dust on the burner ports. The pilot then burns weak or will not light.

Clearing the pilot and the air openings is often the whole repair on units in Nassau Village-Ratliff.

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.

Pressure at the test ports

A fireplace gas valve carries two small test ports, one on the inlet side and one on the outlet or manifold side. A manometer on each tells whether gas is arriving at the pressure the rating plate calls for and leaving at the pressure the burner needs. Low inlet pressure is a supply problem outside the appliance. Correct inlet with low manifold pressure points into the valve or its regulator. Readings are taken with the burner lit, since a supply that looks fine at rest can sag under load, and each port is resealed and leak-checked after.

Logs back on the diagram

Gas logs look random, but each piece has a numbered place on the manual's diagram, seated on pins or notches where the maker provides them. The layout keeps flames from striking the logs, which is what makes soot, and leaves the pilot clear to light the burner. After cleaning, each log goes back in its numbered spot.

A cracked or broken log is replaced instead of glued, because the manuals say not to run the unit with a broken log. Logs are handled with gloves and brushed or vacuumed dry, since cleaning fluids are not used on them. A log set that has lost pieces is replaced from the maker's list.

Readings, parts and the vent check

Barrier screen present, secure and from the maker's list

Gas fireplace questions from Nassau Village-Ratliff

Can you fix a gas fireplace in Nassau Village-Ratliff 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.

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.
