Safety first if you smell gas

If you smell gas, don't touch light switches, the fireplace controls or a phone inside the house. Get everyone out, then call 911 or your gas company from outside, and let them clear the house before anyone goes back in.

Once the gas company has checked it and the house is safe, our gas fireplace specialists can inspect the unit, find what caused the smell and repair it with the maker's parts. Every repair is priced up front, before any part is ordered. Check with one of our local pros about your gas fireplace in Bronson at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Water leaks near the fireplace

A roof leak, a plumbing leak or a flood that reaches a gas fireplace in Bronson can damage its controls. Makers say not to use a unit if any part has been under water. Our specialists replace any control part the water reached with the maker's parts before the fireplace is used again. No part that was under water stays in the unit.

Meter-testing the pilot sensors

Two sensors sit in the pilot flame of a standing-pilot gas fireplace. The thermocouple produces a small voltage that holds the gas valve open for the pilot; the thermopile produces more, enough to power the valve for the main burner.

Maker troubleshooting charts, such as those in Hearth and Home's manuals, have the technician read each one in millivolts at the valve, with the pilot lit and with the switch closed.

Our pros take those readings before replacing anything. A weak reading points to a worn sensor or a pilot flame that isn't wrapping it; a good reading points elsewhere in the system.

Haze and soot on the glass

A white film on the inside of the glass builds up over time from normal combustion, and makers sell cleaners made for it. Ordinary glass cleaners can leave residue that bakes on when the unit heats.

Black soot is different. It means the flame is burning dirty, from misplaced logs, a clogged burner or the wrong pressure, and cleaning it off without fixing the cause just brings it back.

Once the unit is cool, the glass is cleaned with the right product, and then the search for the cause of any soot begins. Glass that has etched and won't clear is replaced with the maker's glass.

Controls that have been under water

Makers of gas fireplaces are clear about water. Their manuals say not to use the fireplace if any part has been under water, and to have a qualified service technician inspect the unit and replace any control part and gas control that was under water.

Water can corrode the inside of a valve and its safety parts without any sign on the outside. Drying it out and trying it isn't worth the risk.

Our specialists identify every part the water reached and replace them with the maker's parts, then test the unit fully before it's used. The parts list is priced on the quote.

FAQs

What people ask when a gas unit acts up

Smell gas near the fireplace?

Leave the switches and controls alone. Get everyone out, then phone 911 or your gas company once you're outside. Once they've made it safe, our specialists can inspect and repair the unit.

Can my fireplace be switched to propane?

With the maker's conversion kit for your model, yes. Our pros fit it and set the pressures to the rating plate; supply changes go to a gas contractor or your supplier. Talk to us about it in Bronson at (352) 675-6366.
