Gas Fireplace Service That Follows the Manual
Standing pilot or electronic ignition, our team follows your maker's manual on every repair.
Inlet and manifold pressure checks
Each fireplace is built to run within the inlet and manifold pressures printed on its rating plate, measured at test points on the valve. One maker's manual warns that high pressure can overfire the burner and damage the valve, and that low pressure is also a hazard.
Our pros measure both readings with the fireplace running and, where the manual calls for it, with other gas appliances in the home running too. When the numbers are off at the inlet, the problem sits on the supply side, and we explain what that means before any work is planned.
The mesh barrier in front of hot glass
During use, the glass of a gas fireplace reaches temperatures that can burn skin, and many units built since the 2015 revisions to the ANSI Z21.88 and Z21.50 standards ship with a mesh barrier over the glass. The maker's manual says to keep that barrier installed and not to run the fireplace with it removed.
Our team checks that the barrier is present, secure and undamaged on each visit in Lutz. If yours is missing, we find the one listed for your model, which matters most in homes with young children or pets.
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.
Knowing where the fireplace shutoff is
The fuel gas code sets where an appliance shutoff valve may sit and asks that it be reachable, and valves inside a fireplace firebox follow the maker's instructions. It is worth knowing where yours is before it is ever needed, and a valve that will not turn is no help at that moment.
If you ever smell gas, do not stop to work the valve. Leave the house and phone the gas utility or 911 from outside. On a routine visit, our pros show you where your fireplace shutoff is and check that it turns and holds.
