The work behind a vent-free fireplace visit
Roaring at the vent-free burner orifice
A roar from the burner, louder than the soft rush of normal gas flow, is on the troubleshooting lists. High pressure at the burner is one cause. A damaged or wrong orifice is another, and so is a burner that is not seated correctly.
We measure pressure and look at the orifice and the burner fit. If the pressure is high from the supply, that belongs to the gas utility or a gas contractor, and we explain why. If the fault is at the appliance, the fix goes on the estimate as its own line.
The written record after a vent-free visit
When the work is done, you receive a written record. It lists the model and fuel, what we cleaned and whether the pressure readings matched the rating plate. The parts we fitted, the log placement we set and anything left for your decision are noted too.
Keep it with the manual and the log diagram. The next service starts from that page, and it helps separate any later fault from the work we did. If you sell the home, the record tells the next owner what the unit has had.
Supply piping stays with a gas contractor
The gas supply piping that feeds a vent-free unit belongs to a gas contractor or your gas utility. We do not install, extend or reroute it. Our work starts at the appliance and its controls.
We can tell you when the supply looks like the problem, from pressure readings or a pattern of shutdowns. The manuals also say the unit must be disconnected or isolated before the house piping is pressure tested. If such a test is planned for other work, mention it so the unit is protected.
The gas connector inside a vent-free fireplace
Log set manuals set rules for how the gas connector passes into the fireplace and where it may run. A connector that rubs, kinks or sits in the flame path can fail. We look at it during every vent-free service.
If the connector or its routing is wrong, we explain what the manual requires. Work on the house supply piping belongs to a gas contractor. Anything we change on the appliance side is leak checked and listed on the written record.

Vent-free gas logs and pilots, answered
Is a ventless fireplace allowed in a bedroom in Bay Colony?
The Florida fuel gas code keeps gas appliances out of sleeping rooms, with narrow exceptions. One covers a single wall-mounted unvented heater with an oxygen depletion safety system, a limited input and enough room volume. We check your unit against those conditions.
What happens during a free inspection of a ventless unit in Bay Colony?
We identify the model from its rating plate, look at the pilot, burner, logs and room, and explain what we found. You receive a written estimate with each item separate, and nothing is done until you approve it.
Why does a new log set smell when it first burns?
New logs and parts carry oils and binders that burn off during a break-in period, and the manuals call for plenty of ventilation then. If smoke or odor continues well past that stage, turn the unit off and tell us.
