Safety first if you smell gas

If you smell gas, don't touch light switches, the fireplace controls or a phone inside the house. Get everyone out, then call 911 or your gas company from outside, and let them clear the house before anyone goes back in.

Once the gas company has checked it and the house is safe, our gas fireplace specialists can inspect the unit, find what caused the smell and repair it with the maker's parts. Every repair is priced up front, before any part is ordered. Check with one of our local pros about your gas fireplace in Yankeetown at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Wind off the water and the flame

Strong wind off the water can gust across a vent termination in Yankeetown and disturb a direct-vent unit's flame or pilot, especially if the termination is damaged or wasn't placed to the maker's rules. Our pros check the termination's condition and placement against the manual and replace damaged parts with the vent maker's listed pieces. Any change in placement follows the maker's clearance table.

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.

Smells that are normal and smells that aren't

A new gas fireplace, or one lit for the first time in months, can smell of hot paint or burning dust for a short while. Makers describe that as normal and advise ventilating the room until it passes.

A rotten-egg smell is different: that's the odorant added to gas, and it means gas is escaping. Manuals tell you to get out first and phone the gas supplier from outside, before touching any switch or control.

After the gas company has made it safe, our pros can check the unit and tell you which kind of smell you had and what caused it.

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.

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.

Does the valve need replacing?

Only if testing says so. Maker troubleshooting charts have the valve replaced last, after the sensors and switch test good, and our pros follow that order with a meter.
