Gas fireplace repair and service for Seffner homes

Reading the rating plate before any part is ordered

Every gas fireplace carries a rating plate, usually in or near the control compartment, that names the model, the gas type and the pressures it was built to run on. Our pros read that plate first, because two fireplaces that look alike can use different pilots, valves and ignition parts.

The model number also points to the service manual, which sets the test values, the parts list and the order of checks for that unit. Working from the manual keeps the repair specific to your fireplace in Seffner and keeps guesswork off your bill.

Putting the logs back where the diagram shows

Gas logs are part of the burner design. Each set comes with a placement diagram, and a log set out of position can push flame where it should not go and leave soot on the logs and the glass.

Our specialists return every log to its diagram position, replace any cracked piece with the one listed for your set and keep cleaning fluids off the logs, as the manual directs. Makers say not to run the fireplace with a broken log, so each piece is checked on every service.

What a yearly gas fireplace service covers

Heat & Glo, for one, recommends that a qualified service technician check its fireplaces once a year, and NFPA heating safety guidance calls for yearly inspection of heating equipment by a qualified professional. A yearly visit keeps small changes from turning into a cold fireplace on the first cool night.

On a typical service our pros cover these items, adjusted to what your manual lists.

• Pilot assembly cleaned and its flame checked against the manual
• Burner ports and air passages cleared of dust and lint
• Logs or media set back to the placement diagram
• Glass latches, gasket and barrier screen inspected
• Vent termination checked from outside
• Controls, remote and blower tested through a full cycle
