Vent-free fireplace service, from pilot to room
Checking the pilot flame against the sensor tip
On many vent-free pilots, the flame must touch the tip of the thermocouple for the main burner to run. A flame that lifts away, leans or burns small can let the control close even when the room air is fine. We look at the flame shape before we look at parts.
The manual shows what a correct pilot flame looks like for that model. We compare the flame with that picture and with the pressure readings. Then we explain which likely cause the evidence points to, whether dirt, pressure or a worn assembly.
Pilot lit but the ventless burner stays out
When the pilot burns but the main burner will not light, the fault sits between the control and the burner. The gas control may not be opening fully. The main orifice can be blocked, or a thermostat or remote may not be calling for heat.
We follow the gas path in order, from the control setting to the orifice and ports. Pressure readings tell us whether enough gas reaches the burner. Once the cause is found, the fix is explained and priced before any part is ordered.
Vent-free units in tightly built homes
The fuel gas code treats unusually tight construction differently when it looks at indoor air for gas appliances. New windows, weatherstripping and sealed walls can reduce the air that leaks in. A vent-free unit that ran well before such work may behave differently after it.
If your home has had air sealing or window work since the unit was fitted, mention it. We look at the air the manual expects and how the unit burns now. Where outdoor air may be needed, we explain the choices and who carries out each one.
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.

Questions about vent-free fireplace service
Is a vent-free unit meant to heat the whole house?
No. The Florida fuel gas code says unvented room heaters may not be the sole source of comfort heating in a home, and the manuals call them supplemental. They warm a room, with that room's air and volume in mind.
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.
Can I dust the logs myself between service visits?
Light dusting is fine when the unit is off and cool, using a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment and no cleaning fluids. Note each log's position against the diagram first, and leave the pilot and burner to us.
