Cloudy or sooty glass

Glass that looks cloudy or sooty needs assessment against the model's care instructions. Approved cleaning on a cool, switched-off appliance may remove deposits, but persistent marks, cracks or damaged seals need a closer look before further use. Appearance alone does not prove the cause.

Proper cleaning, a check of the gasket that seals the glass to the firebox, and a search for the cause of any soot, from misplaced logs to a pressure problem, sort it out. Glass that's etched or cracked is replaced with the maker's glass, since a unit shouldn't run with damaged glass. Reserve glass cleaning and a check in Worthington Springs by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Homes on propane

Running a home in Worthington Springs on propane? A run-out means pilots go out and the piping has to be leak-checked when the gas is turned back on. That check is your supplier's job.

Once the supply is restored and checked, our specialists relight the fireplace to its instructions and diagnose anything that doesn't come back. The gas supplier's check comes first, then the relight.

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.

What a healthy flame looks like

Each gas fireplace manual describes, and in most cases pictures, how the flame should look once the unit has warmed up. Many log sets are designed with yellow, lively flames, and some burners show more blue, so the manual is the reference for your unit.

Our specialists let the unit run long enough to settle, then compare the flame with the manual. Soot on the logs or glass, flames lifting off the burner, or a flame much bigger or smaller than pictured all point to a cause.

From there, they check logs, burner ports, air shutter and pressure in turn, and record only what they've measured.

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

Gas fireplace fixes, answered

Do gas fireplaces need yearly service?

Follow the service interval in your appliance's manual. Our pros can discuss that model's checks and any symptoms you've noticed before arranging the visit.

Can you fix a fireplace that got wet?

Makers say not to use a unit if any part was under water. Our specialists replace every control part the water reached with the maker's parts before it runs again.
