Soot on the wall above the unit
A dark band of soot on the wall or mantel above a vent-free fireplace means the flame is burning dirty. Makers point to logs out of position, flames touching the logs, drafts from fans or returns, and candles burned in the room. Soot that builds up quickly after a cleaning is a sign the cause has not been found.
We reset the logs on your unit in Nassau Village-Ratliff to the manual's photos, check the burner and air inlet, and look at what is moving air across the flame. The unit stays off until the cause is fixed, and the soot cleanup is priced separately.

Why the sensor is never adjusted
Section 621.6 of the fuel gas code requires an oxygen-depletion safety shutoff that stops the gas at the maker's set point, which the code bounds, and it forbids field adjustment. The set point is part of what the unit was tested and listed with.
We do not bend, bypass or adjust a sensor pilot to keep a unit running. If cleaning does not stop nuisance trips, the listed assembly is replaced, and if the trips come from the room, the estimate says so. A unit found with a bent or bypassed sensor is taken out of service until it is put right.
Checking gas pressure at the unit
Correct burning depends on the pressures printed on the rating plate. With a manometer on the valve's test ports, we read the inlet pressure and the manifold pressure and compare them with the plate.
Low inlet pressure points upstream, to the supply or the regulator, which is the gas utility's or a gas contractor's side. Pressure problems at the valve are ours to correct with the maker's parts. The readings are written on the ticket, so a later change in the supply can be spotted.
Mantel clearances above a vent-free unit
Heat and combustion products from a vent-free unit rise straight up the wall, so the manuals set how high a mantel or shelf must be for its depth. A mantel inside that zone gets hot, darkens and can discolor the wall above it.
We take the mantel's height and depth and compare them with the chart for your model. If the mantel is too close, the options are written down, and any carpentry is named for whoever does it. Decorations placed on a mantel above the unit count as well, since they sit in the same rising heat.

Before the unit is lit again
Why does my vent-free fireplace keep shutting off?
The oxygen depletion sensor may be tripping on lint or dust at the pilot, or the room may not hold enough air for the unit's input. We clean the pilot, measure the room and find out which it is.
