If you smell gas, the first call is not to us
Smelling gas near the fireplace means leaving the house before any troubleshooting. Get everyone outside first. From there, phone the gas utility, and if nobody answers, dial 911.
Leave light switches and appliances as they are on the way out, which is also what the gas fireplace manuals say, because switches and phones can spark. Once the utility has checked your Oceanway house and found the source, we can repair whatever part of the fireplace was involved. Calling us first only delays the people who can shut the gas off. The diagnosis visit in Oceanway is free, and we bring the likely parts; call (904) 920-5495.
Oceanway is about 14 miles from Jacksonville in a straight line. Oceanway is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville.

How It Works
Plate, readings, part, test burn
-
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
Ticks and pings from a warming unit in Oceanway
Steel fireboxes expand as they heat and contract as they cool, and the manuals describe some ticking and pinging as normal.
A new noise, or a loud bang at start-up in Oceanway, is different and worth a service visit.

A blocked pilot orifice
The pilot orifice is a tiny drilled opening, and a spider web, a speck of dust or a bit of scale is enough to shrink the flame or stop it. A weak pilot then fails to heat the thermocouple or thermopile fully, and the symptoms look like a bad sensor.
Before any sensor is replaced, we check the flame and, where the pilot design allows, clear the orifice and the air opening around it. Where the maker supplies the pilot as a single assembly with its sensors, the whole assembly is replaced as one part rather than rebuilt. The flame is checked again afterward.
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.
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.

FAQ
Gas fireplace questions from Oceanway
Will you replace the thermocouple without testing it?
No. We read it with a meter in place first, because a weak pilot flame or a valve fault can cause the same symptom. The estimate shows the reading next to the part.
Does a service visit include cleaning the glass?
Yes, after the burner, logs and embers are set right. Soot on the glass comes from the flame, so the flame is corrected first.
