Chimney inspections and repairs for Palomar homes

Many gas fireplaces ship with a blower, or accept one later, to move heated air from around the firebox out into the room. In Palomar, an Orlando neighborhood on the city's list, a blower that has gone quiet, turned noisy or runs without moving much air is a repair our technicians can take care of, and it usually has a clear cause.

Blowers collect dust and pet hair over time. The fan wheel gets heavy and out of balance, which makes it rattle or hum, and the airflow drops. Many blowers are controlled by a temperature sensor that turns them on only once the fireplace has warmed up, so a blower that seems dead at first may just be waiting for heat.

A loose connection, a failed switch or thermostat, or a worn motor can stop it altogether. The owner's manual describes how the blower is controlled on your unit, whether by a switch, the remote or a heat sensor, and it is worth reading before calling. With the fireplace off and cool, you can gently vacuum the intake grille below the firebox.

Do not remove panels or reach into the blower housing while the unit is powered. Our technicians clean the blower and its housing, test the motor, the switch and the sensor, and replace parts with the ones listed for your model. If the blower was never installed, we check whether your unit can take one and what kit the manufacturer makes for it.

Blowers need power, so we look at the outlet or wiring that feeds it too. Our company is family owned and local.
