Finding the fault before replacing the part
Flame colors stuck on one setting
Many units offer several flame and ember colors, from warm white to blue or purple, chosen from the remote or the panel. A flame that stays one color, or cycles when it should hold still, can be a mode left on or a control that no longer takes the command.
Our technicians run through the color and mode settings for your model before looking deeper. When the command reaches the board and the color still does not change, the lighting board or its driver is the likely fault and the estimate says so.
A musty smell from a water-vapor unit
Standing water in a mist fireplace can go stale. The Dimplex water-vapor manual lists dirty or stale water and unfiltered tap water as causes of an unpleasant smell, and it calls for regular cleaning of the tank, sump, cap and filters, particularly where water is hard.
We clean and inspect the water system during a service visit and show you the parts you are meant to clean yourself. If the smell persists after cleaning, our technician looks at seals and filters that may need replacing.
Replacing a unit so it fits the opening
When replacement wins, the new fireplace has to suit the existing opening, mounting and power arrangement, or the trim and wall around it change too. Sizes and mounting methods vary between makers and models.
Our technicians measure the opening and note the power supply during the repair visit, so the replacement discussion starts with facts. Fitting a new unit is electric fireplace installation, a separate job, and we quote it apart from any repair so you can compare them clearly.
Testing every function before we leave
A repair is finished only when the whole fireplace works. After fitting a part, our technicians run the heat on each setting, the fan, the flame effect, the lights, the remote and the panel.
We also check the plug and cord once more and make sure the intake and outlet are clear. You see the unit working before we pack up, and the job sheet records the part fitted and the checks made.
Timers that switch off too early or not at all
A timer or sleep setting is meant to switch the fireplace off after a chosen time. A unit that shuts down early may have a timer set without anyone noticing, and one that ignores the timer points to the control.
Our technicians check the timer settings with you, then test whether the board carries out the command. On some models, the Vital Spark among them, the timer is the one setting not kept when the unit is switched off and on again, which can explain a timer that seems to vanish.

Electric fireplace questions from Moss Park homeowners
Can I run my electric fireplace on an extension cord?
Makers such as Dimplex tell owners to plug the fireplace directly into a wall outlet and never use an extension cord or power strip, and the CPSC gives the same advice for heaters. If the cord will not reach, an electrician should add an outlet closer to the unit.
My fireplace turns itself on. What should I do?
Unplug it until it is checked, since a unit that will not stay off should not be left unattended. Our technicians look for a second remote or app sending commands, then test the board and receiver.
