Common Fireplace Problems

Loose / Damaged Wiring

Wiring that has come loose or damaged over time can cause a burner to not light. Our service technicians will inspect and replace damaged wiring and make sure all connections are secure.

Pilot Light Troubleshooting

The pilot light orifice can become obstructed with soot or dirt, causing the fireplace to not work properly or not turn on at all. We’ll clean it and test it to ensure the fireplace is working safely and efficiently.

TIP: If your pilot light is on, but the fireplace burner doesn't start up, check your thermostat. It needs to be on and set at a temperature higher than the room's temperature, otherwise, your fireplace won't start.

Thermocouple Sensor Testing and Replacement

The thermocouple sensor controls the flame on the pilot light. If it doesn’t put out sufficient voltage, the pilot light won’t stay lit. We test the thermocouple sensor and replace it if necessary.

Odd or Unpleasant Odors

A sealed gas fireplace insert should never smell of gas—or anything else. If you notice a bad odor of any type, it’s possible the seal on the glass doors has been compromised. Our technicians can ensure your glass doors are properly sealed with clips and glass fasteners, replacing any seal components as needed.

It’s also possible the smell you're noticing is coming from something on your mantel or near the fireplace being heated by the fireplace. Try removing anything in the vicinity of your fireplace to see if the smell you're noticing diminishes.

Rumbling Noises

If you hear a rumbling sound when your fireplace is on, it’s likely your burners are dirty. Our fireplace maintenance technicians will clean the burners using a high power vacuum and compressed air to clear any debris inside the burners.

Fan Replacement

If your fireplace has a fan and you’re hearing a soft shrieking or grinding noise when the fireplace is running, it could be a fan with a bad bearing, a bent housing or a bad axle. It could also be something making contact with the fan when it’s in operation. Whatever the cause, our technicians will track it down and either repair or replace the fan.
