Repairing and servicing your gas fireplace
Every repair priced upfront, with no hidden fees, by a local family-owned team.
Electronic ignition that lights on demand
Many newer fireplaces light the pilot only when you ask for heat. A control module sends a spark to the pilot, proves the pilot flame with a sensor and then opens the main burner. When the fireplace is switched off, both flames go out. Some models also offer a continuous pilot mode, and one maker's control turns that pilot off by itself after about seven days without use.
When this kind of system fails, the fault can sit in the spark, the flame sensor, the module, the wiring or the power supply. We work through the sequence the manual gives for that model, so the part replaced is the part that failed.
Replacing a gas valve only when tests point to it
The gas valve is easy to blame for faults that start elsewhere. Before we recommend a new valve we rule out the pilot, the sensors, the switch circuit and the supply pressure, because each of them can mimic a failing valve.
When the valve does need replacing, the new one must be the part the manufacturer lists for that model and fuel. The Florida fuel gas code calls for appliance connections to be checked for leakage before an appliance goes back into operation, so every joint we open is tested before the fireplace is lit again. You see the result of that check before we leave.
Running the fireplace when the power is out
How a gas fireplace behaves in a power cut depends on its controls. A millivolt unit with a standing pilot makes its own current and does not need household power to run the valve. Many electronic-ignition units do need power, and some carry a battery backup for that reason. One maker's manual adds that the batteries should come out of the holder once power returns.
Blowers and accent lights stop without household power either way. If you want to know what your unit will do in an outage, ask during the service visit. We show you the backup, if there is one, and how to use it safely.
The first run after a repair
We finish every repair by running the fireplace through a full cycle. The pilot or ignition sequence, the light-up across the burner, the flame pattern and the shutdown are all watched, and every connection we opened is leak tested. If the light-up or the flame still looks wrong, we keep working until it matches the manual.
Then we walk you through what changed, how the controls work and what to watch for. Barriers and panels go back on, the area is cleaned and the old parts and debris leave with us. If anything about the fireplace seems off in the following days, tell us and we come back to look.
