What our Alafaya technicians check on vent-free units
Read these before the visit and the conversation with our Alafaya crew goes faster.
How much room a vent-free fireplace needs
Section 621.5 of the Florida fuel gas code caps the combined input of unvented room heaters at 20 Btu per hour for each cubic foot of the room or space. A neighboring room may be counted when it connects directly through an opening that cannot be closed.
We measure the room, note its openings and compare the result with the input on your rating plate. If the numbers fall short, you hear it from us before any repair is quoted, along with the options the manual allows.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are off limits for most vent-free units
Section 303.3 keeps gas appliances out of sleeping rooms and bathrooms, with narrow exceptions. A single wall-mounted unvented room heater may go in a bathroom at 6,000 Btu per hour or less, or a bedroom at 10,000 or less, and only with an oxygen depletion shutoff and enough room volume.
Fireplace-style log sets and fireboxes sit outside those exceptions, and their manuals say never to install them in a bedroom or bathroom. When we find one there, our written findings say so plainly, apart from any repair.
Hot surfaces and young children
Heat lingers in a vent-free fireplace after the flame goes out. Manuals ask owners to keep children and adults away from hot surfaces, to let the unit cool before touching it and to supervise young children carefully whenever they share the room with it.
A screen that closes properly is part of that protection. During service we check the screen and its rods and price a listed replacement if the old one no longer closes.
The service history page in your manual
Pages for recording appliance service appear in some vent-free manuals, and one maker gives the record two full pages. A filled-in history tells the next technician what was cleaned, replaced and adjusted, and when.
Our technicians complete that record after every visit, or leave a written one when the manual is missing. Keep it with the manual near the fireplace, where the next person will find it.
Only the parts listed for your model
Using parts other than those specifically approved for the heater may cause property damage or personal injury, the manuals warn. A firebox maker adds that altering the firebox or its components may void the warranty, listings and approvals of the whole system.
That is why our estimates name parts by the maker's number from your parts list. A generic pilot or log may look identical and still change how the system behaves.

Quick vent-free answers for Alafaya
What Alafaya owners of vent-free logs and fireboxes ask us before a repair.
Can a vent-free fireplace go in a bedroom?
Generally no. Section 303.3 of the Florida fuel gas code allows only a single wall-mounted unvented heater of 10,000 Btu per hour or less in a bedroom, with an oxygen depletion shutoff and enough room volume. The vent-free log set and firebox manuals we use say never to install them in a bedroom or bathroom.
Is soot on vent-free logs normal?
No. One maker says properly installed and maintained log sets do not deposit soot, and that owners who see it should stop using the set and call for service. Log position, drafts, dust and gas pressure are the usual suspects.
