A noisy fan on a vent-free fireplace

Some vent-free fireplaces carry a fan that moves warm air into the room. Dust on the wheel, dry bearings or a loose mount make it rattle or whine, and a failed heat switch can leave it running or never starting. A fan that runs constantly can also mean its switch has failed closed.

We clean the fan on your unit in Switzerland, check the switch and fit the maker's kit parts where they are worn. If the fan needs a new outlet, an electrician runs it, and the estimate names that separately.

Switzerland is part of St. Johns County. Switzerland lies inland.

Storm season and gas shutoffs in Switzerland

Hurricane season, which the National Hurricane Center runs from June 1 to November 30, can bring a gas shutoff to inland homes too. Afterward, the pilot of a vent-free unit in Switzerland has to be relit by the manual's steps.

If it will not hold, we clear the sensor and check the supply at the valve.

When a neighboring room counts

Some vent-free manuals let an adjoining room count toward the space only when it connects through a doorless passageway or through ventilation grilles. A room behind a door that can close does not count, because it may be shut while the unit runs.

We look at how the rooms around your unit actually connect and apply the manual's rule for your model. If the space only works with a door left open, that is written down as a limitation. Under that rule an open archway can count and a room behind a door cannot, and the manual settles anything in between.

Why the sensor is never adjusted

Section 621.6 of the fuel gas code requires an oxygen-depletion safety shutoff that stops the gas at the maker's set point, which the code bounds, and it forbids field adjustment. The set point is part of what the unit was tested and listed with.

We do not bend, bypass or adjust a sensor pilot to keep a unit running. If cleaning does not stop nuisance trips, the listed assembly is replaced, and if the trips come from the room, the estimate says so. A unit found with a bent or bypassed sensor is taken out of service until it is put right.

Carbon monoxide alarms and vent-free units

Florida Statutes section 553.885 requires carbon monoxide alarms, placed within ten feet of any room people sleep in, in homes built from July 1, 2008 onward that contain a fossil-fuel appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. In any house with a vent-free unit, an alarm near the bedrooms is a sensible layer of protection.

We check whether an alarm is present and note it on the ticket. The alarm is not a substitute for a clean sensor pilot and a correctly sized unit; it is the backup to them. CO alarms wear out, and the replace-by date on the alarm says when.

Before the unit is lit again

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.
