Water on the windows when the unit runs
Every bit of water vapor a vent-free unit makes stays in the room. One manual's figure is about an ounce of water per hour for each thousand Btu of rated input, and it warns of mildew in a room without enough ventilation air. Water that condenses on cold surfaces can also stain paint and swell trim over time.
Fogged windows or damp walls near a unit in San Jose are a sign the room may be too small or too closed for the input. We measure the room, read the rating plate and write down what the code and the manual allow. The visit is free.
The county for San Jose is Duval County. San Jose sits away from the coastline.

Lint and the sensor pilot in San Jose
Household lint and pet hair settle at the sensor pilot of a vent-free unit in San Jose, 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.

Cleaning the burner and air inlet
The burner ports and the primary air inlet need to be clear for the flame to burn clean. Dust and lint narrow them over time, and the flame turns yellow, lazy or noisy.
With the gas off and the unit cool, we remove the logs, clean the ports and the air inlet as the manual allows, and reassemble to the diagram. The flame is checked through a full cycle afterward. Parts removed for cleaning go back in the order the manual shows, with nothing left out.
The water a vent-free unit makes
Burning gas makes water vapor, and a vent-free unit leaves it in the room. One manual figures roughly an ounce of it per hour for every thousand Btu of input, and warns that a room without enough ventilation air can grow mildew.
Fogged windows, damp corners or a musty smell near a unit point to a room that is too closed or too small for its input. We measure the room, and the estimate explains whether the unit suits it. Condensation on cold windows or walls near the unit is the first visible sign of it.
Mantel clearances above a vent-free unit
Heat and combustion products from a vent-free unit rise straight up the wall, so the manuals set how high a mantel or shelf must be for its depth. A mantel inside that zone gets hot, darkens and can discolor the wall above it.
We take the mantel's height and depth and compare them with the chart for your model. If the mantel is too close, the options are written down, and any carpentry is named for whoever does it. Decorations placed on a mantel above the unit count as well, since they sit in the same rising heat.

Vent-free fireplace questions from San Jose
Why is there soot on my wall?
Logs out of place, flame touching the logs, a dirty burner, drafts or candles in the room are the usual sources. We check each one and fix the cause before the wall is cleaned.
Is my room big enough for the unit?
The room is measured, every unvented appliance in it is added up, and we compare the total with the code's limit of 20 Btu per hour per cubic foot. The arithmetic is written on your ticket.
