After water reaches the controls

Gas fireplace manuals are direct about water. A unit whose control system or gas valve has been under water is not to be used until a service technician has inspected it and replaced every control part and gas control that was wet. Drying them out and relighting is not an option they allow, because corrosion inside a valve does not show from outside. After flooding at the Oakleaf Plantation house, we inspect, list each part that was below the water line, and replace them from the maker's parts list before the unit runs again. The diagnosis visit in Oakleaf Plantation is free, and we bring the likely parts; call (904) 920-5495.

Oakleaf Plantation is part of Clay County. The 2020 Census count for Oakleaf Plantation was 31,034 people.

How our gas fireplace pros find the fault in Oakleaf Plantation

Rating plate and symptom
We read the maker, model and gas type, then watch the unit try to do what you called about.
Readings against the chart
Thermocouple, thermopile or flame rod output and the gas pressures are measured and compared with the manual.
Failed part replaced
The part that tested bad is replaced with the maker's listed part, and the burner and logs are set right.
Test burn and vent check
The unit runs through a full cycle, and the vent termination outside is checked before we go.

Ignition modules that lock out in Oakleaf Plantation

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 Oakleaf Plantation to find which part let the pilot down.

Reading a thermocouple under load

A thermocouple is two dissimilar metals joined at a tip that sits in the pilot flame. Heat at the junction makes a voltage measured in millivolts, and that voltage keeps the valve's safety magnet energized, which holds the pilot gas path open.

A thermocouple can read fine on the bench and still fail in the unit, so we measure it in place, with the pilot burning and the knob held in, and check the number against the troubleshooting chart in the maker's service literature. With a good flame, a low number points to the thermocouple. A good reading with a pilot that still drops points to the valve.

The screen in front of hot glass

The glass front of a gas fireplace gets hot enough to burn skin. Under the 2015 revisions of ANSI Z21.88 and Z21.50, units whose glass runs above a set temperature ship with a barrier, such as a mesh screen, in front of the glass. The manuals say the barrier shall be installed.

On older units built before that change, a barrier may be available from the maker as an accessory. We check that the screen is present, fastened as designed and undamaged, and replace a missing or bent one with the maker's part. Burns to children are the reason the rule exists.

Ticks and pings from a warming firebox

Gas fireplaces made of steel expand as they heat and contract as they cool, and the manuals describe some ticking and pinging during those cycles as normal. What is not normal is a new noise: a loud bang at ignition, a roaring or whistling flame, or a rattle that tracks the blower. A delayed ignition bang points to a pilot that lights the burner late, and a roaring flame points to pressure or air.

On service we listen through a full cycle and note which sounds are the steel and which are a fault. Anything that is a fault is written up with what we heard and when.

Before a part is ordered

Do you service propane gas fireplaces?

Yes. Propane units use the same controls with different orifices and pressures, and we confirm the gas at the rating plate first. The tank and supply piping are the propane supplier's.

Will I pay anything for the written estimate?

No. The estimate is free and in writing, priced upfront with no hidden fees. The 10% off for a repair booked within 72 hours is shown on it.
