Pilot won't stay lit? Gas fireplace repair in Bowmanville.
A pilot that keeps going out, a clicking igniter or a remote that stops working can each have a different cause. Reilly, the owner and a G2 gas technician with 10+ years in the trade, finds it and prices the repair before any work starts.
Repairs based on the real fault
A pilot that won't stay lit is often a thermocouple or thermopile problem, but it can also be a dirty pilot assembly, low gas pressure or a venting issue. We check the ignition, controls, burner, gas supply and venting on your natural gas or propane fireplace to find which one it is, so you pay to fix the part that failed rather than a guess.
Yearly service before the cold
Annual service covers the burner, pilot, ignition, controls and venting for your model. It's also the time to mention anything that seems off, like soot on the glass or a flame that looks different than it used to. Quotes are free, repairs carry a workmanship warranty, and evening and weekend visits are available, so service doesn't have to wait for a day off.
Many fireplace problems show up on the first cool evening in fall, so booking service in late summer saves a wait. If an older unit keeps failing or its parts are no longer made, we'll tell you whether it's worth repairing. Platinum Gas is based in Bowmanville and services fireplaces across Durham Region, Port Hope and Cobourg. Text the make and model, a photo of the rating plate and a short video of what happens when you try to light it.
Fireplace won't light or stay on?
Repeated clicking, a pilot that will not remain lit or a burner that shuts down are useful details to report. Note whether the issue happens immediately or after the fireplace has been running.
We check the startup sequence and the relevant ignition, control, gas-supply and venting conditions. The findings determine which repair is needed and whether suitable replacement parts are available.
Remote, switch or flame problems?
Report a remote or wall switch that no longer controls the fireplace, unexpected cycling or a change in flame appearance. Mention recent battery, power or control changes when you request service.
The visit checks the affected system against the appliance instructions. Stop using a fireplace with damaged glass, significant soot or another unsafe condition; a gas smell or carbon-monoxide alarm requires emergency action.
Book professional care before regular use.
An annual service reviews the condition and operation of your gas fireplace using the manufacturer's instructions. The quoted tasks identify the checks, cleaning and adjustments included for your model.
Tell us about any fault even if you are booking routine maintenance. A service visit can then account for the operating problem, with any additional repair explained and approved separately.

Fireplace repair questions
What to send with a repair request, when to stop using the fireplace and how maintenance is quoted.
What information should I send for a fireplace repair request?
Include the make and model if safely visible, the exact symptom, when it started and whether it happens at startup or after running. Share an error message and any recent power, remote or appliance changes. A wide photo helps identify the fireplace; no panel removal is needed for the request.
Can a fireplace be diagnosed from a photo?
A photo can identify the appliance and show visible damage. Testing the ignition, controls, gas supply and venting may require a service visit. Send photos as useful background without operating an unsafe fireplace to reproduce the fault.
Should I keep using a fireplace that acts differently?
Stop using a fireplace with significant soot, damaged glass or venting, or another unsafe condition. If you smell gas or a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, leave and call 911 from a safe location. For natural gas, also call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427. For propane, contact your supplier's emergency number. Do not wait for a website reply.
Is cleaning included with every repair?
The quote states which checks, cleaning, adjustments and repairs are included. An ignition or control repair may require different work from annual maintenance. Mention when the fireplace was last serviced so the visit can account for both the fault and any overdue care.
What affects the cost of fireplace service?
The diagnostic findings, fireplace model, required parts and access determine the repair cost. Cleaning and adjustments depend on the agreed service tasks. We explain the proposed work and any parts availability issue before additional repairs proceed.
What care is needed between fireplace service visits?
Arrange annual professional service and follow the appliance manual for approved cleaning, batteries and operating care. Keep the safety barrier and clearances in place. Save the service date and work completed, and report a returning fault rather than continuing to operate damaged or unsafe equipment.
