If your gas fireplace just stopped working, you're not alone — Vero Beach homeowners call us about pilot drop-outs and dead ignitions every week, especially after the long Florida summer when the unit sat unused. Here's what gas fireplace repair actually costs in the Treasure Coast and when it's time to stop fiddling and call a licensed tech.
Typical gas fireplace repair costs in Vero Beach
- Diagnostic visit: $69 flat — credited toward the repair
- Thermocouple / thermopile replacement: $185–$285
- Pilot assembly: $245–$385
- Gas valve (SIT / Honeywell): $385–$650
- IPI / electronic ignition module: $325–$575
- Blower kit (parts + install): $295–$485
- Remote receiver / handset pairing: $145–$245
Prices vary because brand-specific OEM parts (Heat & Glo IntelliFire, Valor GV60, Napoleon IFC) cost more than generic replacements — but using OEM parts is what keeps your warranty intact.
What affects the price most
- Brand and model age — 15+ year-old units often need discontinued parts
- Coastal exposure — homes east of US-1 in Vero Beach corrode faster from salt air
- Whether the unit is vented or ventless — ventless ODS pilots are different parts
- Gas type — LP vs natural gas orifices aren't interchangeable
Signs it's time to stop relighting and call
- Pilot won't stay lit after 2–3 attempts
- You smell gas (leave the house and call from outside)
- Yellow flame tips instead of blue — incomplete combustion
- Soot inside the firebox or on the glass
- Wall switch or remote does nothing
