The work behind a vent-free fireplace visit
The host fireplace must allow vent-free logs
A vent-free log set may go only into a fireplace that allows it. For factory-built fireplaces, the residential volume of the Florida Building Code sets a clear rule. Unvented gas logs belong there only when the fireplace itself has been tested, listed and labeled for them. Some fireplace manuals say outright that the unit was not tested with unvented burners.
We read both labels, the log set's and the fireplace's, before servicing the logs. If the host does not allow them, we explain that plainly. Servicing a set in a fireplace that forbids it is not a repair we can offer.
Old ventless parts and debris hauled away
Vent-free service produces old ember material, dust, packaging and replaced parts. We lay protection over the floor and hearth before the work starts and clean up when we finish. Debris goes out of the house with us and is hauled away rather than left for your trash.
Replaced parts can be shown to you before they go, if you want to see what failed. The written record names each one. The room is left ready to use once you have watched the unit run and are satisfied with how it burns.
Owner tasks and service tasks on a vent-free unit
The manuals divide care into what you can do and what a service person should do. Owner tasks include light dusting when the unit is cool, changing remote batteries and keeping the area around the fire clear. Pilot, burner, valve and log setup work belongs to service.
We show you where the line falls for your model. If you are unsure whether a task is yours, ask before you start. A short question can prevent a moved log or a bent pilot.
Servicing an older vent-free gas unit
An older vent-free unit can still be serviced if its manual and parts are available. What matters is whether it still matches its listing and whether listed parts exist for the fault. Age alone does not decide it, and neither does appearance.
We check the rating plate, the parts list and the condition of the burner and logs. Where the unit is sound, routine service may be all it needs. Where key parts are gone, we explain the options before you spend anything on a repair that cannot hold.

Questions about vent-free fireplace service
Can the burner run with the fireplace doors closed?
No. Log manuals require fireplace doors to be fully open whenever a vent-free burner operates. Closed doors can cause sooting and pilot outages, and one manual lists damage and injury among the risks. We explain the rule for your set.
What should I do if I smell gas near the unit?
Leave the house with everyone inside, without lighting anything or touching switches. Once you are outdoors, call your gas utility or 911 and follow their instructions. Stay out until they clear the house, and keep the fireplace off afterward.
What should happen if a carbon monoxide alarm sounds?
Get everyone out into fresh air right away and call 911 from outside. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe. Keep the vent-free unit out of use until someone has looked at it and the reason for the alarm is known.
