Propane Fireplace Service
We are new to the area and have a home with 3 propane fireplaces which don't seem to be operating properly. It does not appear to be a propane problem because we have had our propane company check them out. However, I would like to get a service in here to fully review the placement of the logs and the equipment. Can anyone recommend a good reliable service company? Thank you very much.

Builder Installed Products
I just had mine serviced by "Builders Installed Products". 1-800-626-7797
They have offices all over New England so I am pretty sure they will service whatever area you are in. The number I supplied is for their NH office which is in Auburn. Good Luck! Dan

We used Christian Repair last time we needed work done. He came out to the island and took care of everything needed at a very reasonable price.

Type of service needed?
What exactly needs to be done on a propane fireplace? I've replaced some of the "steel wool" in spots but other than vacuuming the outer areas what else needs service? I did notice that when igniting the fire this winter the flame makes a bit of a loud roar when starting, louder than I remember.

In the first case, the fireplace lights but emits a strong smell. Had propane company look at it- they re-positioned the logs but it still smells. In the second it starts fine and then 5-10minutes later shuts off. Sometimes it re-starts itself and other times I have to turn off the switch and then re-start. It also puts soot on the front facing of the fireplace. In the third case - the fireplace is completely enclosed in glass. When it starts- it gives such a pop- you think it may blow out the glass but then quickly returns to normal and no problem after that I bet this is more than you wanted to know - but that is the case. We had energy savers here last fall - no luck //then the propane company- no luck Thank you for reading all this! |

1st and 2nd problems might be venting/draft issues. 3rd sounds like too much gas coming in before the igniter fires. Just a WAG
