An igniter that clicks but does not light
A piezo igniter that clicks without lighting the pilot may have a cracked electrode, a gap that has drifted, a loose wire or a pilot starved of gas. Holding the knob down and clicking harder does not fix any of those. Some units use an electronic igniter instead, with its own battery or power supply.
Spark, electrode gap and the gas reaching the pilot are all checked on your unit in Sawgrass, and a worn igniter is replaced with the maker's part. The pilot flame is checked for shape once it lights.
The 2020 Census count for Sawgrass was 5,385 people. Sawgrass is on the coast.

How our crew services a vent-free unit in Sawgrass
-

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

The room volume and every unvented input in it are compared with the code and the manual.
-
Pilot, burner and logs serviced
The sensor pilot and burner are cleaned, the logs set to the diagram and worn parts replaced.
-
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.
Relighting after coastal storms in Sawgrass
When the gas supply to a home in Sawgrass is shut off for a storm and restored, a vent-free pilot goes out. The manual's lighting steps, including its waiting time, apply every time.
If the pilot will not relight or hold afterward, air in the line or dust at the sensor is cleared as the manual describes.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Cleaning, log placement or a new sensor, each is discounted.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
Section 303.3 of the fuel gas code keeps unvented appliances out of sleeping rooms and bathrooms. Its exceptions cover only a single wall-hung heater with an oxygen depletion safety system, capped at 10,000 Btu per hour for sleeping rooms and 6,000 for bathrooms.
Fireplaces and log sets do not fit those exceptions. Where we find one in a bedroom, we write down what the code says and the options, including a vented unit, and leave the choice with you. A unit that met an older rule may still be sitting in a bedroom, and we point that out when we find it.
Cleaning the sensor pilot
The pilot assembly has a small air opening where dust and lint collect. Manuals describe cleaning it with low-pressure air or a soft brush, with the gas off and the unit cool, and warn against poking the openings with wire that can change their size.
We follow the method in the manual for your model, then relight and watch the pilot flame for its correct shape. The cleaning date goes on the ticket so the next one can be planned. Cleaning is followed by a full run, since a pilot that holds for a minute may still trip after ten.
Sets listed for two ways of running
Some log sets carry two listings, as vent-free heaters under ANSI Z21.11.2 and as vented decorative appliances under ANSI Z21.60. Run vented, they need the damper open, and one manual says the thermostat function must not be used in that mode.
Label and manual together confirm which way your set is being run and that the setup matches it. A mismatch is corrected, or written up if it needs your decision. The label on the set shows both listings when it has them.
What we check on a vent-free unit in Sawgrass
- Room measured and unvented input compared with the code limit
- Listed ODS pilot assembly replaced for your model and gas
- Igniter, remote, receiver and thermostat tested and repaired
- Carbon monoxide alarm presence noted on the ticket
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 Sawgrass?
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.
