Gas Fireplace Service in Morehead City, NC

Morehead City is a working waterfront town, and the air does things to fireplace hardware that inland air simply doesn't. Salt gets into everything. On a gas fireplace the first casualties are usually the thermocouple and the thermopile — the small sensors that tell the valve the pilot is lit — and when those corrode, the symptom looks exactly like a failing gas valve. We've been called out to replace valves that didn't need replacing. So on every Morehead City service call we check the pilot assembly, the burner ports and the venting terminal for corrosion before we look at anything else, whether or not that's what you called about. It adds maybe fifteen minutes and it regularly saves a part. If your unit is within a few blocks of the water and it's more than five years old, assume the salt has found it.
