Vent-free fireplace service, from pilot to room
Keeping added decorations off vent-free burners
Pine cones, glass beads, extra stones or a log from an old set can look appealing on a burner. Vent-free manuals allow only the listed accessories for the model. Anything else sits in the flame path the listing did not test, and it can cause soot or change the pilot's air.
If decorations were added, we remove them and explain why. Where the maker offers a listed decorative kit, we can tell you about it. The unit then burns as tested, which is the whole point of the listing.
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.
Vent-free units altered by earlier work
Earlier work sometimes leaves a vent-free unit changed from its listing. A drilled orifice, a bypassed sensor, a missing screen, added decorations or an unlisted blower are all signs. The unit may still light, but it is no longer the appliance that was tested.
We note every change we find and explain which ones matter most. Correcting them returns the unit to its listing. Where a change cannot be undone with listed parts, we say that the unit should stay off.
The codes behind vent-free gas service
Vent-free service draws on the fuel gas volume of the Florida Building Code, the fireplace chapter of its residential volume and the maker's manual. The appliance standard behind the listing sits under all three. None of them is a matter of taste.
We work from those documents on every visit in San Marco Island. When a question depends on how a code section applies to your home, we explain what the section says. Where a building official has the final word, we tell you that too.

Oxygen depletion sensor questions, answered
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.
Do you replace a failed ODS pilot with a generic part?
No. We use the pilot listed for your burner system and fuel. One maker states that a failed ODS pilot should be replaced with the same model. Pilots that look alike can differ in how they sense oxygen.
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.
