We are thinking about installing a ventless gas fireplace in our house. Has anyone installed one in a home that doesn’t currently have a fireplace? Any suggestions or things to avoid? Any pictures of completed work?
blow the pilot light area out with a can of key board cleaner.We have 2 but they were done when the house was built by original owner. We bought it a year and a half ago and I can’t get either to light for nothing. I’ve bled the lines and bled some more with no luck. Had others try to. Thinking the regulator valve may be bad. They’re linked to a propane tank outside that runs nothing but them.
I really like ours. Takes the chill off in the mornings and don’t have to turn up the heat. Also run them in the evening before bed, and the main heat doesn’t come on until around 2 in the morning.
This. I probably had to do that maybe 4-5 times the 15 years I lived in the house with the vent free logs.blow the pilot light area out with a can of key board cleaner.
one little speck of dust will stop the pilot light from coming on.
I have cleaned the pilot light area before with a small diameter rubber hose and physically blowing throuth it
Have had same experience. Now if my pilot light won't stay lit at the beginning of cold weather I don't bother to try anything else and get the can of compressed air out and give it a few shots through the pilot light holes. Works every time. An amount of dirt that you can't even see will cause trouble so this is something you want to do if you are having this problem no matter how clean it might look.blow the pilot light area out with a can of key board cleaner.
