How our Aloma crew repairs vent-free units
Each note below comes from a maker's manual or the Florida fuel gas code, and our Aloma team works to both.
A yellow tip on the ODS pilot flame
A healthy ODS pilot burns blue. One manual explains that a yellow tip on the pilot flame points to dust and dirt inside the pilot assembly, and it shows a small pilot air inlet hole about 2 inches back from where the flame leaves the assembly.
With the unit off and cool, we clear that inlet the way the maker describes and relight to compare the flame. You watch the change yourself, and the inspection that finds it costs nothing.
Soot on the logs means stop and call
A clean vent-free fire leaves clean logs. One maker states that properly installed and maintained log sets do not deposit soot, and that owners who see soot should stop running the set and call for service. Another says to turn the heater off if the logs ever appear to smoke.
Our specialists trace soot to its cause, whether logs, air, pressure, drafts or dust, and put each finding in writing. The inspection is free, and you save 10% on the repair by booking within 72 hours after it.
The water a vent-free fireplace adds to the room
A gas flame gives off water vapor as it burns, and with no vent that moisture stays in the room. One maker puts the figure at about one ounce of water for every 1,000 Btu of input per hour, and recommends the heater as supplemental heat for a room rather than the main heat for a house.
That manual also says a dehumidifier may help where humidity is high, and that too little ventilation air can let mildew form. We check room size and air supply so moisture stays a minor side effect.
Regulator, sediment trap and shutoff valve
The supply side of a vent-free fireplace has its own parts. One manual calls for an external regulator between the gas supply and the heater, recommends a sediment trap to catch moisture and contaminants, and requires an accessible equipment shutoff valve with a test gauge connection.
Our technicians confirm those parts are present when we service the appliance. Piping changes upstream of the appliance connection are gas supply work, and we name them for your gas supplier or gas contractor on a separate line.
If you smell gas near the fireplace
Leave the house right away and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Vent-free manuals spell out the same steps. Do not light any appliance, do not touch an electrical switch and do not use a phone inside the building.
The manuals say to call the gas supplier from a neighbor's phone and to call the fire department if the supplier cannot be reached. Repair work comes only after the gas supplier or fire department says the home is safe.

Your ventless fireplace questions, answered for Aloma
Short answers grounded in the manuals and the Florida fuel gas code, from our Aloma technicians.
Why do my windows fog when the ventless fireplace runs?
A gas flame gives off water vapor as it burns, and with no vent that moisture stays in the room. One troubleshooting chart ties condensation on windows to too little combustion and ventilation air. The room volume and its openings need rechecking.
Can I add embers or lava rock to vent-free logs?
Only as your manual allows. One maker limits rock wool embers to a single layer on the front of the burner and keeps lava rock on the fireplace floor. Other manuals ban added logs, pine cones, vermiculite and rock wool because they cause sooting.
