From symptom to repair on a gas unit
When the igniter sparks but nothing lights
A spark with no flame points somewhere along the path from the valve to the pilot. Air in the supply after other gas work, a blocked pilot orifice, a misaligned igniter or a valve that does not open can all look the same from the room. We separate them one at a time.
Please do not keep pressing start while you wait for the visit. Note how the unit behaved, leave the controls off and describe it to us. The checks that follow depend on the ignition system, so the model details help us arrive with the right information for your unit.
Control module faults and lockouts
Electronic ignition modules lock out after failed attempts to light, which protects the house from repeated ignition without a proven flame. A unit in lockout will not respond until it is reset, and resetting it without finding the cause usually brings the fault back.
We read what the module is doing, check its power supply and wiring, then test the parts it depends on. If the module itself has failed, the replacement comes from the parts list for your model. Incorrect wiring can override a lockout, so every connection is checked against the diagram.
Findings explained in plain language
Gas fireplace faults involve parts with unfamiliar names, and it is fair to expect an explanation you can follow. We name the part, say what it does, describe what we found and explain why it matters for the way the unit lights or runs.
If you want to see the part, we show it to you where that is safe. The same explanation goes into the written record, so you can read it again later or share it with someone else in the house. Questions are welcome at any point, before and after you approve the work.
Repairing a propane fireplace
Propane fireplace repair follows the same diagnosis as a natural gas unit, but the fuel changes some details. Propane units use their own orifices and pressures, and their manuals give separate readings to check against.
We confirm that the rating plate shows propane, that the orifices match the parts list and that pressure at the valve is within the manual's range. A mismatch between the fuel and the appliance is treated as a finding that must be resolved before the unit runs. Supply questions go to your propane supplier.
Parts and checks listed for your gas unit

Before you book gas fireplace service
Does the fireplace need to be cool before you arrive?
It helps. Glass, logs and metal parts stay hot after running, and service starts with taking them off, so please leave the unit off for a few hours beforehand. If it was running when we arrive, we let it cool before opening anything.
Do you repair the blower on a gas fireplace?
Yes, when the blower belongs to the listed unit or is an approved accessory for it. We check its power, controls and the fan itself, then quote cleaning, repair or a specified replacement kit.
Do you service the remote and receiver as well?
Yes, as part of the control system. Pairing, batteries, receivers and wall switches are checked against the model's instructions. A failed receiver is replaced with the part the manual lists for that valve.
