How a vent-free gas fireplace gets diagnosed
Millivolt and electronic vent-free controls
Some vent-free units use a standing pilot and a millivolt control that needs no house power. Others use electronic ignition with a pilot that lights on demand, sometimes with battery backup. The diagnosis changes with the control, so we confirm the type first.
Some electronic models offer a choice between a continuous pilot and an intermittent one. The manual explains how to switch and when each is suitable. We show you which mode your unit is in and what the batteries do before we leave.
A lazy or yellow pilot on a ventless unit
A healthy pilot on a vent-free unit burns with a crisp, steady flame that wraps the sensing tip as the manual shows. A pilot that turns soft, yellow or lazy is usually short of air. Lint in the pilot intakes is the common reason, and low pressure is another.
A weak pilot can also be the first sign before shutdowns begin. We clean the pilot the way the maker describes, check pressure and watch the flame again. If it does not recover, the pilot is replaced with the listed model.
What the free inspection of a vent-free unit covers
The free inspection starts with the rating plate and the manual. We look at the pilot, the burner, the logs and the ember layer. The room, the clearances and the host fireplace get the same attention where there is one, and then we explain what we found.
You receive a written estimate with each item on its own line. Some items may be urgent and some may wait, and we say which. Nothing is cleaned, adjusted or replaced in your home in Coral Terrace until you approve it.
Workmanship warranty on vent-free repairs
Repairs we carry out on vent-free units are backed by our workmanship warranty. Parts we fit carry their maker's terms, which the parts list or packaging sets out. The written record ties the two together by listing what we did and which parts went in.
If something changes after a repair, tell us what you see and when it started. We compare it with the record and look at the unit again. A later fault that has nothing to do with the work is explained plainly, and so is one that does.

Asked about ventless fireplace repair in Coral Terrace
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.
Can a vent-free log set go into any prefab fireplace?
Only into a factory-built fireplace listed and labeled for unvented gas logs. The Florida Building Code says so, and some fireplace manuals state they were not tested with them. We read both labels before servicing the logs.
Does the inspection discount cover vent-free fireplace repairs?
Yes. Repairs, fitted parts and maintenance visits approved no later than 72 hours after your own free inspection get 10% off the agreed price. The clock starts at that inspection, not at a calendar date, and the estimate shows the discounted figure.
