If you are suffering problems with your gas fireplace, it doesn’t immediately mean you need to hire a tradesperson to repair it. Many of the problems with gas fireplaces are fairly simple to troubleshoot. However, you can still contact Plumbers Abbey Wood who will be able to solve the issue so you can soak up the heating sooner rather than later. Firstly, it is important to identify which of the three main types of gas fireplaces you have. There are natural vent fireplaces which connect to a metal pipe through the roof. The direct-vented gas fireplace vents directly behind the unit through the wall. Furthermore, vent-free gas fireplaces don’t require a vent. In addition, understanding the purpose of each component of your fireplace will help you identify the problem. The gas line delivers a fuel source into the gas fireplace. The firebox contains the fire and flame. The venting system is like having a chimney where it allows dangerous gasses to escape. The Ignition system or the pilot light either turn the gas on by introducing a flame or rely on a spark to light the gas. The common problems with a gas fireplace include the fact it won’t ignite and failure with the Pilot Light. Firstly, when your gas fireplace won’t ignite, make sure you check the breaking box or house fuse and identify whether you need to replace an overloaded circuit. Alternatively, you can turn the breaking completely off and then turn it on again. In addition, another simple fix is to guarantee you have enough fuel. To fix this you can either supply the fuel yourself or by opening the gas valve. The Pilot Light failure can simply be caused by a blow-out. If you see no flame after a visual inspection, attempt to light your pilot again. Alternatively, check for unconnected or loose wires for the pilot light. However, never attempt to repair damaged wires and instead contact Plumbers Abbey Wood who is an experienced team who can fix any gas fireplace problems.
