Chimney and Fireplace Service in Vineland, FL

Vineland is an Orange County community that the county officially calls Buena Vista North or Orange Center, and if your home there runs on propane rather than natural gas, that difference matters for a gas fireplace, because every gas fireplace, insert and log set is built and adjusted for one fuel or the other, and the two are not interchangeable.

Propane and natural gas are delivered at different pressures and burn with different amounts of air, so the burner orifices, the gas valve settings and sometimes the pilot assembly differ between the two. A unit set up for natural gas and connected to propane, or the reverse, will not burn as designed, and that can mean sooting, odor, overheating or worse.

The rating plate states which fuel a unit is configured for. Many manufacturers offer a conversion kit that switches a fireplace from one fuel to the other, and their manuals say who may install it and how. Where a kit exists, the conversion is done with the maker's parts and the rating plate is marked to show the change.

Where no kit exists, the unit stays on its original fuel. Improvised conversions have no place in a fireplace. If you are buying a fireplace or log set for a Vineland home, confirm the fuel first. If you have just moved in, or the home has switched fuels, have the fireplace checked before the first cool evening.

The gas supply line itself, and the tank or meter, belong to your gas supplier or the gas trade, and our estimate says so. If gas is suspected at any point, leave the house with everyone and phone the gas supplier or 911 once you are outside. Our local family business inspects Vineland fireplaces free.
