Keeping a vent-free fireplace within its listing
Thermostats and burner cycling on vent-free units
With a thermostat control, a vent-free burner cycles on and off, or up and down, as the room warms. That is normal, and the pilot stays lit through it. A burner that cycles off early can point to a sensor placed in the wrong spot or a setting that needs a look.
We check how the thermostat is set and where its sensor sits. Then we compare the cycling with the manual's description. If the unit is doing what it should, we explain that, and nothing is replaced.
A whistle from a vent-free log set
A whistle while a vent-free unit burns usually comes from gas or air moving through a narrow gap. The manuals list pressure and debris near the burner or air openings among the causes. Sometimes a scrap of ember material or a small stone sits where it should not.
We listen at the burner, then check pressure and the openings. Moving one misplaced piece can end the noise. Where the sound comes from the control or the supply side, we say so and explain which trade handles it.
When a carbon monoxide alarm sounds
If a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, move everyone outside into fresh air right away, then call 911 from outside. Headache, nausea or dizziness shared by people in the house is a reason to leave too, even without an alarm. Do not stop to open windows or hunt for the cause.
Wait for responders to confirm the house is safe before anyone goes back in. The vent-free unit is not used again until it has been inspected and the source is known. A working alarm on every level of the home is worth keeping.
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 West Perrine until you approve it.

Questions about vent-free fireplace service
Can the oxygen depletion sensor be adjusted or bypassed?
No. The manuals forbid adjusting or tampering with the ODS pilot. When it misbehaves, it is cleaned as the maker describes or replaced with the same listed model. A unit that cannot be made right stays off until it can.
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.
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.
