Keep Heating Simple

Gas fireplaces make adding comfort to your Mobile home simple. Just flick a switch or push a button for immediate heat.

They’re also fairly effortless to use. Unlike their woodburning counterparts, there’s no need to use firewood or remove ashes. But like any other natural gas units, these fireplaces need regular tune-ups to help them run efficiently and avoid malfunctions.

When your fireplace won’t start or won’t stay on, the Experts at Climate Control Service Experts can help. Use our step-by-step hints first. If your fireplace still isn’t running properly, let us know. We can take care of any model.

Gas Fireplace Troubleshooting Tips

Fireplace Won’t Start

There could be a couple of explanations why your fireplace won’t start. Take off the ornamental plate beneath your fireplace to gain entry to its parts.

  1. Is a breaker tripped? Take a look at your home’s electrical panel and reboot breakers as needed.
  2. Is the gas working? Ensure the valve is in the “open” setting.
  3. Is the pilot light lit? If it has been extinguished, follow manufacturer instructions to reignite. Fasten the vent cap to stop drafts from blowing it out.
  4. Pilot light lights but won’t stay on? There could be an issue with the thermocouple, a metal safety sensor that controls gas flow.
  5. Pilot light stays ablaze but fireplace won’t light? It could be the thermopile, a metal piece that transforms heat to electricity to open the gas valve.
  6. If you think there’s a problem with the thermocouple or thermopile, ask for service.

Fireplace is Making Odd Sounds or Smells

  • Rumbling or roaring noises? Tweak the flame and vacuum the burners once they’ve fully cooled.
  • Grinding or shrieking sounds? Have Climate Control Service Experts service or install a new blower.
  • Funny odors? Clean the fireplace’s interior and flue using the steps below. If you smell rotten eggs or burning wires, stop using the fireplace, open windows in your home and call us right away.

Cleaning Your Gas Fireplace

Cleaning your gas fireplace on a routine basis can help it run more efficiently and avoid costly breakdowns. It may even help it run longer.

  1. Confirm your fireplace is totally cooled.
  2. Shut the gas off by rotating the valve to “off.”
  3. Remove the gas logs, inspect them for cracks and clean them with a soft-bristled brush.
  4. Remove the lava rocks, vacuum them separately and get rid of soot with the brush.
  5. Clean the internal parts of the fireplace with a vacuum hose attachment.
  6. Rub down internal edges with a wet cloth. Use warm, soapy water to get rid of dust or soot buildups.
  7. Return lava rocks and logs in the same design.
  8. Clean the glass casing with special fireplace glass cleaner and let it dry. Windex is not recommended as it can scratch the glass or cause it to shatter.
  9. If you have a vented gas fireplace, take a look at the outside vent and remove debris such as leaves or bird nests.
  10. Make sure your carbon monoxide detector is working correctly.
