A flame that looks wrong

Is the flame lazy, tall and yellow, leaving soot on the logs and glass? Or is it small, blue and lifting off the burner? Either way, something has changed from how the maker designed the flame to look.

Our specialists compare the flame with the picture in your unit's manual, then check the log placement, the burner ports, the air shutter and the gas pressure. Logs moved out of place are a common cause, and so is lint in the burner. You'll hear what's off and what fixes it. Call our pros about the flame on your gas fireplace in Hawthorne: (352) 675-6366.

Our Hawthorne coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Hawthorne is about 15 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions

Gas units that have run for years

Has the gas fireplace in your home in Hawthorne been running for years? Parts wear, and some models are no longer made. Our pros read the rating plate, check what the maker still offers, and price a repair or a replacement side by side when a key part is no longer available. Either way, the choice is yours. The model is written on the quote.

Reading the pilot flame

The pilot flame has a job: it has to wrap the thermocouple and thermopile and reach across to the main burner. Makers show the right flame in a diagram in the manual, and a weak, lazy or misdirected pilot causes a lot of lighting trouble.

Dust, lint and spider webs in the pilot orifice or the pilot hood shrink or bend the flame. Our specialists clean the pilot assembly, check the flame against the diagram and adjust what the manual allows.

Once the flame looks the way the maker drew it, the sensors get their heat and the unit lights reliably.

Relighting after a propane run-out

Once a propane tank runs dry, pilots go out and air can get into the lines. The fuel gas code has the piping leak-checked right after gas is turned back on, and that's the supplier's or a gas contractor's job before any appliance is relit.

Propane is heavier than air and settles near the floor, which is why maker lighting instructions tell you to smell at floor level around the unit before relighting.

Once the supply is restored and checked, our pros relight the fireplace to its instructions, confirm the pilot and burner, and diagnose anything that won't come back.

Keeping an older gas fireplace going

Older gas fireplaces can run for many years with the right care. The rating plate tells our pros the maker and model, and from there they find the listed parts.

Sensors, igniters, gaskets and logs may still be made, or replaced by the maker with listed substitutes. When a key part, like the valve or the firebox, is no longer available, they'll tell you and price a replacement unit next to the repair.

What they won't do is fit parts from another model that aren't listed for yours, since that breaks the unit's listing and can void what's left of the maker's warranty.
