    Gas Fireplace Repair Done Right — The First Time

    V2 Gas Fireplace Pros is a gas-first repair company. We don't dabble in gas — it's all we do. Every technician is trained specifically on gas fireplace systems: standing pilot, intermittent pilot ignition (IPI), millivolt, and electronic ignition. We carry the most common parts on the truck — thermocouples, thermopiles, pilot assemblies, gas valves, igniters, receivers, and blower motors — so most repairs are completed in a single visit. We service every major brand including Heat & Glo, Majestic, Napoleon, Mendota, Valor, Empire, Heatilator, and Monessen.

    What We Repair

    Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit

    Almost always a weak thermocouple or thermopile. We test millivolt output and replace the part on the spot.

    Fireplace Won't Ignite

    Faulty igniter, control module, dead battery pack, or bad wall switch. We diagnose the full ignition chain and fix the actual cause.

    Gas Valve Issues

    Stuck valves, weak flame, or units that shut down mid-burn. We replace OEM-spec valves with the correct millivolt or 24V part for your unit.

    Remote & Wall Switch Failures

    Receiver re-pairing, wiring repair, transmitter replacement, and skytech / proflame controller swaps.

    Blower Motor Repair

    Loud, weak, or dead blowers. We rebuild or replace the fan kit and clean the squirrel cage.

    Soot, Yellow Flame, Glass Fogging

    Combustion is off — we clean burner ports, re-set logs to manufacturer spec, and verify draft.

    Glass & Gasket Replacement

    Cracked ceramic glass, blown gaskets, and door seal failures restored to safe operation.

    Annual Service & Safety Check

    Full clean, leak test, combustion check, and component inspection from $249.

    What is a Gas Fireplace and How Does It Work?

    A gas fireplace burns natural gas or liquid propane through a precision burner under a set of ceramic logs or glass media. Unlike a wood-burning unit, every gas fireplace is a small combustion appliance with three interlocking systems: a fuel system (gas line + control valve), an ignition system (standing pilot or IPI module), and a safety circuit (thermocouple or thermopile that proves the flame is lit before more gas is released).

    When any one of those three systems drifts out of spec — a dirty pilot, a corroded thermocouple, a weak gas valve solenoid, a bad igniter — the fireplace stops working safely. That's why repair on a gas unit is fundamentally different from repair on a wood-burning one. There's no "just clean it out and try again." Every fix starts with a millivolt reading on the safety circuit and a manometer check on the gas pressure.

    Florida adds two complications most national guides ignore: salt-air corrosion (coastal homes see ignition components fail in 5–8 years instead of 15) and long off-seasons (units sit unused for 7+ months, so spiders and dust collect inside the burner and pilot hood). Both make annual service more important here than in colder states.

    When to Call for Gas Fireplace Repair

    Don't wait until the unit is fully dead. These are the early warning signs we see most often on service calls — catching them early usually means a $200 fix instead of a $700 one.

    Pilot lights but won't stay lit

    Thermocouple drift — almost always a same-visit fix.

    You smell gas, even faintly

    Stop using the fireplace immediately and call a licensed gas tech. Don't troubleshoot it yourself.

    Yellow or orange lazy flames instead of crisp blue-tipped flames

    Incomplete combustion. Logs out of position, burner ports clogged, or air shutter misadjusted.

    Black soot on the logs, glass, or surround

    Same root cause — combustion is off. Continuing to run it produces carbon monoxide.

    Loud blower noise or no blower at all

    Bearings or motor failing. Easy swap if caught early.

    Remote works intermittently or not at all

    Usually battery, receiver pairing, or a wiring fault — not a fireplace fault.

    Glass is fogged with white residue

    Sulfur deposits from normal combustion. Needs proper cleaning with the right solution.

    You haven't had it serviced in 2+ years

    Time to book a tune-up before something fails mid-season.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does gas fireplace repair cost?

    Most common repairs (thermocouple, thermopile, igniter, remote receiver) run $200–$450 installed. Gas valve and control board replacements run $400–$850. We give a firm quote before any work — see our full repair cost guide.

    Do you only work on gas fireplaces?

    Yes — we're a gas-specialty company. That's why we're faster, more accurate, and don't guess. We do not service wood-burning units.

    Is it safe to use my gas fireplace if the pilot keeps going out?

    No. A pilot that won't stay lit means a safety component (thermocouple/thermopile) is failing or your gas pressure is wrong. Stop using it and call a licensed gas tech.

    How quickly can you come out?

    Most areas in Florida get same-week service. Emergency gas leak or no-heat calls are prioritized — call 772-732-7077.

    Do you repair every brand?

    Yes — Heat & Glo, Majestic, Napoleon, Mendota, Valor, Empire, Heatilator, Monessen, Lennox, Astria, Superior, and more.

    Should I call a plumber, HVAC tech, or fireplace specialist?

    A dedicated gas fireplace specialist. Plumbers handle gas lines but rarely diagnose hearth ignition systems, and most HVAC techs don't stock IPI modules, pilot assemblies, or log sets. See our who-to-call guide for the full breakdown.

    How does a gas fireplace actually work?

    Gas (natural gas or propane) flows through a control valve to a burner under ceramic or refractory logs. A pilot flame (standing pilot) or electronic ignition (IPI) lights the burner, and a thermocouple or thermopile generates a tiny millivolt signal that tells the valve it's safe to stay open. When any link in that chain fails — pilot, sensor, valve, ignition — the fireplace stops working.
