A blower that has gotten loud
The blower on a gas fireplace draws room air in low, moves it past the hot firebox and sends it out through the grille. It lives in the dustiest spot in the unit, and lint and pet hair on the wheel throw it out of balance, which shows up as a hum, a rattle or a wobble. The San Marco service call cleans the wheel and housing, checks the bearings, and tests the thermal switch that turns the blower on once the unit is warm. A blower that still hums after cleaning, or a switch that no longer closes, is replaced with the maker's part. Call (904) 920-5495 from San Marco with the make of the unit, and we will check parts first.
San Marco sits in Duval County. The coast is more than about six miles from San Marco.

How It Works
From rating plate to test burn in San Marco
-
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
Remote controls that stop working
Many gas fireplaces run from a receiver near the valve, with its own batteries and a switch. Dead batteries or lost pairing look like a failed fireplace.
We test the receiver and handset on your San Marco unit before any control part is replaced.

A spill switch doing its job
A natural vent gas fireplace can carry a spill switch, a heat-sensing switch near the draft hood. If exhaust spills back into the room instead of rising up the vent, the heat trips the switch and the valve shuts, and on some units the switch has to be reset by hand.
A trip is a message about the vent: a blockage, a cold vent that has not started to draw, a vent that is too short or too long, or a house pulling air through it. We find that cause and fix it. The switch is tested and replaced if faulty, and it is not bypassed.
Checking the vent termination outside
The vent termination is the part of a gas fireplace that sits outside, out of sight from the room, and it is where trouble from outside starts. Nests, leaves and wasp activity can block its openings, a shrub can grow into the clear zone in front of it, and a knock from a ladder or a mower can dent the cap.
On a direct-vent unit, a blocked or damaged termination can also let exhaust into the intake. On service we walk outside, check the cap, its screen and its clearances, and note any growth or damage. Plants are trimmed back to the clear zone the manual sets.
Insects in the pilot and air openings
Spiders and small insects are drawn to the pilot tube and the burner air openings of a gas fireplace that sits unused, and a web in the wrong place can starve the pilot or change the air mix at the burner. The manuals call for the burner, the control compartment and the air passages to be kept clean, and to be cleaned more frequently where lint, dust or pet hair is heavy. On a first service after an idle stretch, we clear the pilot tube, the pilot air opening and the burner openings before lighting the unit. Batteries in the receiver are checked for corrosion at the same time.

FAQ
Gas fireplace questions from San Marco
Can my gas fireplace be used with cracked glass?
No. The manuals do not allow a sealed unit to run with cracked, broken or missing glass, because the glass is part of the seal that keeps exhaust out of the room. Leave it off until the maker's glass assembly is fitted.
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.
