Vent-free fireplace service, from pilot to room
Wiring on electronic vent-free controls
Electronic ignition models carry small wires between the receiver, the control module, the igniter and the valve. Heat and cleaning can loosen them over time. One maker's manual asks that any wire replaced be equivalent to the original, so a repair does not change how the circuit behaves near the burner.
We trace each connection before changing a module. A loose plug found and seated is sometimes the whole repair. Where a wire is damaged, the replacement is the type the maker specifies, and the written record says what was changed.
Inlet and manifold pressure on vent-free units
Many vent-free gas controls carry two small test ports. One shows the supply pressure arriving at the valve, and the other shows what the valve sends on to the burner. The rating plate gives the range each should fall in, and readings outside it explain a good share of pilot and flame faults.
We take both readings with the unit running where the model allows. You get the result in plain words, not just a figure. If the incoming pressure is the problem, the work sits with your gas utility or a gas contractor, and the written record shows what we measured.
Low propane and soot on vent-free logs
On propane units, a tank running close to empty can change how the gas burns. One log set manual links a nearly empty tank with more soot. The same manual warns against connecting the burner straight to a tank without the right regulator.
If your unit runs on propane, mention how the tank is supplied and when it was last filled. We check pressure at the unit and look for soot patterns. Regulator and tank work belongs to your propane supplier or a gas contractor, and we tell you if the evidence points there.
How the inspection discount works on vent-free repairs
When you approve vent-free work in the 72 hours after your free inspection in Wynwood, 10% comes off the agreed price. The window starts at your own inspection, not at a date on a calendar. It covers cleaning, fitted parts and maintenance visits alike.
The written estimate shows the price with the discount applied, so you can compare the lines easily. Take the time you need to read it, and ask any question during the visit while the unit is in front of us. The discount applies to work approved inside that window.

Oxygen depletion sensor questions, answered
What causes black soot to build up on vent-free logs?
Logs out of position, too much ember material, dirty burner ports, drafts, a propane tank running low or residue from candles in the room. We look at each cause, correct the one we find and show you the clean flame afterward.
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.
Why does a new log set smell when it first burns?
New logs and parts carry oils and binders that burn off during a break-in period, and the manuals call for plenty of ventilation then. If smoke or odor continues well past that stage, turn the unit off and tell us.
