Test first, then order parts
Several parts in a gas fireplace can each stop it from lighting, and replacing them one at a time until it works is an expensive way to find the fault. We test before we replace. A thermocouple or thermopile gets a meter reading, a switch circuit gets checked at the valve terminals, a module gets taken through its lighting sequence, and the supply gets a pressure reading.
By the time an estimate in Ortega lists a part, there is a reading behind it, and that reading is written down beside the part. You can ask to see any reading we took. The first look at your Ortega gas fireplace costs nothing, and (904) 920-5495 is the number.
Ortega lies inland, over six miles from the coast. The direct distance from Jacksonville to Ortega is about 7 miles.

How It Works
How our gas fireplace pros find the fault in Ortega
-
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
After a long idle season in Ortega
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 Ortega.

The spark electrode and its cable
The spark that lights a pilot jumps a small gap between an electrode and a grounded point, and the gap is set by the maker. Too wide, and the spark weakens or jumps somewhere else. A cracked ceramic around the electrode lets the spark leak to the metal body, which shows as clicking with no light. The ignition cable runs close to hot parts, and a cable that has melted or buckled from heat is replaced and shielded where the manual says.
The gap, the ceramic and the cable all get checked before the module is blamed. Each of those has its own part number.
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.
The air shutter and the flame
Some burners have an air shutter near the orifice that sets how much primary air mixes with the gas before it burns. Too little air gives tall, dark, sooty flames; too much can make the flame short and noisy or lift it off the burner. The manual describes what the flame should look like at full rate after the unit has run for a while, and some decorative units are meant to show yellow flames.
We adjust the shutter only after the logs, embers and ports are right, and only within the range the manual allows. An adjustment outside that range is not made.

FAQ
Before a part is ordered
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.
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.
