Gas fireplace repair and tune-ups in Brandon

Why the gas valve is the last part we replace

The gas valve is one of the larger parts of a fireplace repair, and it often takes the blame for faults that start elsewhere. The maker's troubleshooting order checks the sensors and the switch circuit first and points to the valve only when those test good.

Our specialists follow that order on every fireplace we service in Brandon. When the valve really has failed, it is replaced with the part listed for your model, and the new connections are leak-checked before the fireplace is lit.

Cleaning the burner and control compartment

Burner ports, the pilot area and the air passages around the control compartment collect dust, lint and pet hair over time. Makers call for keeping those areas clean, and for cleaning more often where lint and pet hair build up.

Our pros clean with the fireplace off and cool, following the steps the manual allows and leaving sealed components alone. A clean burner lights evenly and keeps the flame looking the way the maker intended in your Brandon home.

Thermostats and wall switches on millivolt valves

A wall thermostat on a gas fireplace has to suit a millivolt valve, since the pilot's small current is all it has to work with. The installation manual asks for low-resistance wire kept as short as practical, and it keeps the low-voltage wiring out of any box that carries house current.

Our specialists test the thermostat and its wire run when the fireplace ignores the setting. An incompatible control is replaced with one that suits your valve, so the switch on the wall and the flame in the firebox agree again.
