Glass that doesn't seal
Does the glass front rattle, sit crooked or show a gap along the gasket? On a sealed gas fireplace, the glass has to be properly seated and sealed, or combustion products can leak into the room.
Latches, frame and gasket get checked, the glass is reseated, and a worn or torn gasket is replaced with the maker's part. Cracked glass is replaced before the unit is used again. It's a quick job with a real safety payoff. The gasket is the maker's own part. Talk to our pros about the glass seal on your fireplace in High Springs by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Power outages and electronic ignition
If a storm knocks out power to your home in High Springs, a gas fireplace with electronic ignition may need battery backup to light. Weak backup batteries are a common reason it won't start when you need it. Our pros check the battery pack and receiver batteries on every service and show you how the manual says to light the unit during an outage.

Ruling out the switch and wiring
When the unit won't respond, the wall switch, remote receiver or wiring can be at fault as easily as the valve. Maker troubleshooting charts include a simple test: bridging the switch terminals at the valve to see if the burner lights without the switch.
If it lights with the bridge in place, the valve and sensors are fine, and the fault is in the switch, the receiver or the wire between them.
Our specialists run that test early, since a switch or receiver costs far less than a valve. The test result and the fix are written on your quote.
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.
Why the glass has to seal
On a sealed gas fireplace, the glass front closes off the combustion chamber as well as showing the flame. Maker manuals warn that the glass must be properly seated and sealed, or combustion products can leak into the room, and that the unit mustn't run with the glass removed, cracked or broken.
Latches, frame and the gasket that seals the glass to the firebox all get checked. A flattened or torn gasket is replaced with the maker's part, and cracked glass is replaced before the unit runs again.
It's one of the checks on every service visit. A clean, tight seal also keeps the glass clearer.

FAQs
When the pilot, igniter or glass 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.
How do you clean cloudy glass?
With the maker's glass cleaner when the unit is cool, since ordinary cleaners can bake on. Black soot means a flame problem, and our specialists find the cause as well.
