Keeping a vent-free fireplace within its listing
Start a ventless repair at the rating plate
Every vent-free fireplace and log set carries a rating plate. It names the model, the gas it burns and the standard it was listed to. We read it before we open anything, because the manual, the parts list and the room rules all follow from that plate.
If you can see the plate in Parkland without moving logs or panels, read the model to us when you book. Leave the plate and any warning tags attached. The manuals ask that they stay on the appliance, and a unit with an unreadable plate is harder to service within its listing.
Smoke from vent-free logs after break-in
Light smoke during break-in is expected. Smoke later on is not. The troubleshooting charts link it to logs out of place, flame striking a log, dirty ports or foreign material on the burner.
Turn the unit off if you see smoke once break-in is over. We reset the logs, clean the burner and remove anything that does not belong. Then we run the unit long enough to confirm the smoke has stopped, and the written record says what we changed.
No wood fires where vent-free logs are fitted
Once a vent-free log set is fitted in a fireplace, that fireplace is not used for wood or other solid fuel. The log set manuals are clear on this. Burning wood around or on the burner damages it and fouls the pilot.
If the fireplace was used for wood after the set went in, tell us. We check the burner, pilot and logs for damage, then explain what can be cleaned and what must be replaced. Taking the set out to return to wood is also possible, as a separate item.
First use of a ventless unit after idle months
Months of disuse let dust, lint and insects collect in a vent-free pilot and its ports. Spider webs appear in the manuals as a cause of pilot trouble. Air may also sit in the gas line.
Before you use it again, a maintenance visit clears those paths and confirms the pilot. If you prefer to light it yourself, follow the manual's lighting steps exactly and stop if anything seems wrong. We are glad to walk through the steps with you on a visit.

Oxygen depletion sensor questions, answered
Can a vent-free fireplace be used after it was under water?
Not until it has been inspected. The manuals say to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been under water. We identify those parts from the maker's list and price them before any work.
Will you work on the gas piping that feeds the fireplace?
Supply piping belongs to a gas contractor or your gas utility. We check the appliance side, take pressure readings at the valve where it allows and tell you plainly if the supply is the problem, so the right trade handles it.
Is vent-free repair work covered by a workmanship warranty?
Repairs we carry out are backed by our workmanship warranty, and replacement parts carry their maker's terms. Keep the written record of the work, because it shows what was done and helps separate any later fault.
