When the carbon monoxide alarm sounds
A carbon monoxide alarm going off while the gas fireplace runs is a reason to get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas utility before anyone touches the alarm. The manuals describe early exposure as feeling like the flu, with headaches, dizziness and nausea, and their advice is fresh air right away. Once the house has been cleared, a service visit in Panama Park looks for the cause: a vent joint leaking, a sealed unit with a damaged gasket, a blocked termination, or a burner burning badly. The unit stays off until that cause is found and fixed. Pilot will not stay lit in Panama Park? Call (904) 920-5495 and read us the rating plate.
Panama Park is a neighborhood within the City of Jacksonville. Panama Park sits in Duval County.

-
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 Panama Park
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 Panama Park to find which part let the pilot down.

Flame sensing on electronic ignition
Electronic-ignition units prove the pilot with a flame rod rather than a thermocouple. The module sends a small current through the flame to the rod and back through the ground, and only when it sees that current does it open the main valve.
A rod with a coating of oxide, a cracked ceramic insulator, a loose ground wire or a pilot flame that no longer covers the rod can each break that path. The maker's flow chart asks for a steady blue flame covering the rod. We clean or replace the rod, restore the ground and adjust the pilot to match.
When the ignition module locks out
An ignition module gives the pilot a set number of tries, or a set time, to light and prove its flame. If it fails, the module shuts the gas off and some models lock out until they are reset by switching power off and on, as the manual describes. A single lockout after a long idle period can be air in the line or dust in the pilot. Repeated lockouts are a fault, and the flow chart takes us through power, spark, gas at the pilot and flame sensing in order to find it before the module itself is suspected.
Push-button igniters on standing pilots
Standing-pilot units light with a piezo igniter, a spring-loaded crystal that makes a spark when you press the button. It needs no battery and has few parts, so the faults are simple: a wire that has slipped off the electrode, an electrode that has moved away from the pilot hood, or a crystal that has worn out. The maker's chart says to check for a spark at the electrode and the pilot.
If the wire is sound and there is no spark, the fix is the igniter or the pilot assembly, whichever carries the failed part on that model. It is a small repair once the fault is found.
Readings, parts and the vent check
- Thermocouple or thermopile output read under load and compared with the chart
- Control module taken through its full lighting sequence
- Glass gasket and seal checked on sealed direct-vent units
- Gas supply or wiring faults named for the trade that fixes them
Gas fireplace questions from Panama Park
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.
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.
