Headaches or stuffiness near the fireplace

The manual for one vent-free set warns that early carbon monoxide poisoning can feel like the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If anyone feels unwell while the unit runs, turn it off, open windows and get fresh air, and if a CO alarm sounds, everyone leaves the house and 911 is called from outside. Symptoms that ease when the person leaves the room are an important clue.

Once the house is safe, the unit, the room size and the burner all need checking before it is used again. That check is part of our service in Oceanway, and the unit stays off until it is done.

Within Jacksonville city limits, Oceanway is its own named neighborhood. Oceanway is part of Duval County.

How our crew services a vent-free unit in Oceanway

  1. Rating plate and gas confirmed

    The model, gas, listing and input are read and the gas confirmed at the valve before parts are ordered.

  2. Room measured against the code

    The room volume and every unvented input in it are compared with the code and the manual.

  3. Pilot, burner and logs serviced

    The sensor pilot and burner are cleaned, the logs set to the diagram and worn parts replaced.

  4. Leak checked and run through a cycle

    Opened joints are leak checked, the flame is watched through a full cycle and findings are written down.

Lint and the sensor pilot in Oceanway

Household lint and pet hair settle at the sensor pilot of a vent-free unit in Oceanway, and a little is enough to trip the shutoff early.

Where lint builds up quickly, we suggest cleaning more often than once a year, as the manuals allow.

10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection

Cleaning, log placement or a new sensor, each is discounted.

Matching parts to the gas on the plate

Pilots, burners and valves are made for natural gas or for propane, and the wrong one burns wrong. The gas a unit was built to burn is printed on its rating plate, and a conversion is allowed only with the maker's kit where the manual permits it.

We check which gas actually reaches the valve before ordering any gas-carrying part, so what arrives matches your supply. A conversion, where it is allowed, is priced as its own line with the kit named. A unit that was converted in the past is checked to confirm the conversion matches the gas now supplied.

What a yearly vent-free service covers

Makers call for a check before each season's first use and a service every year, with extra cleaning where lint builds up. A yearly service covers the sensor pilot, the burner and air inlet, the logs and ember material, the controls and a leak check.

It also covers the room: its size against the rating plate, anything new that moves air across the flame, and whether a carbon monoxide alarm is present. The findings are written up item by item. A written summary of the service goes into your records, with any parts replaced.

The first hours on new logs or a new unit

New logs and a new unit can give off an odor for the first hours of use as binders and coatings burn off. One maker's manual calls for an initial run with windows open to clear it.

When we install new logs or parts, we explain the smell to expect and how long that first run should last. An odor that lasts beyond that is a reason to call us back, and the ticket gives the date for reference. Pets and anyone sensitive to odors are best kept out of the room during that first run.

What we check on a vent-free unit in Oceanway

  1. Adjoining space counted only where the manual allows it
  2. Listed ODS pilot assembly replaced for your model and gas
  3. Logs set to the maker's diagram, damaged logs replaced
  4. Damper position confirmed against the manual's conditions

Before the unit is lit again

Could you set the sensor so it stops tripping?

No. The code forbids field adjustment of the oxygen depletion shutoff, and we never bypass it. A dirty pilot is cleaned, and a worn one is replaced with the listed assembly.

What does your satisfaction guarantee cover on vent-free service in Oceanway?

The service and parts we quote. If the unit does not run the way we said it would after our work, we come back and put it right.
