Out of propane, and now it won't relight

Ran the propane tank dry and now the fireplace won't come back? After a run-out, the gas piping has to be checked for leaks once the gas is turned back on, and pilots have to be relit following the unit's instructions.

Once your gas supplier has restored the supply and done its checks, our pros can relight and check the fireplace. Propane is heavier than air and settles low, so the unit's lighting instructions matter. Anything that won't relight gets diagnosed and priced. Talk to our gas fireplace specialists about relighting in Rochelle: (352) 675-6366.

Neither the Gulf nor Atlantic coast reaches Rochelle. Measured directly, about 10 miles separate Rochelle from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Rooftop vent caps inland

Venting up through the roof leaves a gas fireplace in Rochelle 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.

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.

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.

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.
