A qualified fireplace technician or plumber can assist you with your gas fire problems. They can also repair a damaged valve. Here are some things to think about before hiring a plumber: Robert Hall, a pipeline safety advocate, said that the fire had destroyed miles of pipe and it could take several hours for the flame to reach an outlet. Installation If you're looking to replace a gas fireplace or install a new fireplace from scratch It should be completed by a Gas Safe registered professional. This is a lengthy process that requires careful reconnection to your gas system and a thorough examination of your new fireplace in order to ensure compliance with Building Regulations. The heating engineer will first need to assess your space. The size of your space will determine if you are able to safely set up a gas fireplace. It also determines the location, the kind, and how many vents you can install. Once qualified gas engineer are complete, the heating engineer will put in your new fire. The appliance will be erected on a wall that has an exhaust gas outlet and a solid base. They will then connect it to the main line of gas and test the operation. They'll then put it together any hearth or surround that you have selected. You may also have to install a flue or a chimney based on the type of fireplace. Troubleshooting If your gas fire will not turn on, you may have an issue with the spark ignition system or the pilot system. These systems can be reset using reference to the manual, but should only be attempted by those who are familiar with and comfortable with a strong gas smell. In some instances, odd noises like ticking or cracking are normal as the steel in the burner tray expands or contracts. Contact an Gas Safe engineer if you hear these sounds. Unsafe or improperly installed fireplaces can cause gas leaks, fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. A qualified engineer can safely and quickly resolve these issues. Repair You'll need to call a professional when your fireplace emits a gas smell or makes unusual noises, switches on and off randomly, or makes unusual noises. A snap disc, rheostat or high limit over-temp switch might need to be replaced. These devices guard your fireplace from overheating by cutting off the gas supply when the fireplace gets too hot. Repair costs are determined by the complexity of repairs and the location in which you live.
