Gas Log And Fireplace Problems Homeowners Report Most

Almost every fireplace call falls into one of a handful of patterns, and most are repairable in a single visit once the technician can see the burner and the valve.

Complaints we are called out for regularly:

• The fireplace will not light, or lights and drops out
• Yellow, weak or lazy flame with soot on the logs
• A pilot that stays lit but the burner will not engage
• A remote or wall switch that no longer responds
• The smell of gas near the hearth

Fireplace Will Not Light Or Keeps Going Out

The usual suspects are a dirty pilot assembly, a weak thermopile that can no longer hold the valve open, or a drafting problem pulling the pilot flame off the sensor. A fireplace pilot light repair is inexpensive, and it is the most common thing we fix on these systems.

Weak Flame, Sooting Or Uneven Log Burn

Soot is a combustion message. It typically means the air shutter is misadjusted, the burner ports are partially blocked, or the logs have been shifted out of their designed positions so flame is impinging where it should not. Correct log placement is part of every service call.

Gas Odors And When To Shut Off The Valve

If you smell gas, close the shutoff at the appliance, leave windows as they are, avoid switches, and call us. Our 24-hour gas leak service in Huntsville, Alabama exists for exactly this call, and no one should be troubleshooting a suspected leak alone.

Thermopile, Thermocouple And Valve Repairs

Millivolt fireplaces generate their own control voltage, so a tired thermopile presents as an intermittent unit that works one evening and refuses the next. We measure output rather than replacing parts on a hunch, and we test the gas valve before condemning it.
