Common Issues with Gas Fireplaces

Common Causes:

  • Pilot Light Issues: The pilot light may be out. Check if it’s lit and relight if necessary.
  • Gas Supply Problems: Ensure the gas valve is open and the supply is uninterrupted.
  • Ignition System Malfunction: The ignition system might be faulty and require repair or replacement.

Solution:

  • Pilot Light: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to relight the pilot light or give us a call to assist. If it won’t stay lit, we’ll come out to check the thermocouple.
  • Gas Supply: Verify the gas valve is open and there are no disruptions in the gas supply.
  • Ignition System: Contact your Midtown technician to inspect and repair the ignition system.

Common Causes:

  • Dust and Debris: Dust and debris can accumulate on the burners, causing a burning smell.
  • Incomplete Combustion: This can result in a sooty odor, often indicating a problem with the burner or venting system.
  • New Unit: A new fireplace may emit odors as manufacturing residues burn off.

Solution:

  • Cleaning: Regularly cleaning the burners and interior of the fireplace can help with odors. Ensure it is cool before cleaning.
