A pilot that won't stay lit

Pilot lights, then quits the moment the knob is released? That points to the thermocouple or thermopile, the small sensors sitting in the pilot flame that tell the gas valve it's safe to stay open. When they're worn, sooty or bent out of the flame, the valve shuts off by design.

Our pros meter-test the sensors at the valve, following the troubleshooting chart in your unit's manual, and check that the pilot flame wraps them properly. You pay only for the part that actually failed. Reserve a pilot repair for your gas fireplace in Brooker at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Rooftop vent caps inland

Venting up through the roof leaves a gas fireplace in Brooker with a termination cap exposed to sun, wind and falling leaves. A cap knocked crooked or clogged with debris can affect venting. Our pros check the cap from the roof or a ladder during a service and replace damaged parts from the vent maker's list. A clear, straight cap keeps the unit breathing.

Checking gas pressure at the valve

Every gas fireplace has two pressures listed on its rating plate: the inlet pressure coming into the valve and the manifold pressure going to the burner. The valve has test points where a gauge can read both.

Low inlet pressure starves the flame; the wrong manifold pressure makes it too big or too small. Our specialists read both with a gauge and compare them with the plate.

If the inlet pressure is off, the problem is upstream, in the supply or the regulator, and that's for your gas supplier or a gas contractor. If the manifold pressure is off, it's set at the valve, and the reading goes on your quote.

Cleaning lint from the burner

Lint, dust and pet hair drift in and settle on the burner, in the air openings and in the control compartment. Makers call for keeping those areas clean and suggest checking sooner in homes with pets.

Clogged burner ports and air openings change the flame, making it yellow and sooty or weak and uneven. Our specialists vacuum and brush the burner, the ports, the pilot area and the control compartment during a service.

It's simple work, and it fixes a surprising number of flame complaints without any parts at all. It's part of every yearly service. The service summary notes what was found in the burner.

Spill switches on chimney-vented units

Units that vent through a chimney, rather than a sealed direct vent, use a draft hood, and many have a spill switch mounted near it. If exhaust spills out of the draft hood instead of rising up the vent, the switch heats up and shuts the gas valve.

Some spill switches reset on their own when they cool; others need a manual reset. A unit that keeps shutting off is telling you the vent isn't drawing properly.

The cause might be a blocked vent or a house pulling air down it, and that's what gets fixed. Bypassing the switch isn't an option.
