Home Fires repair questions
Do Home Fires vent-free units need a chimney?
Vent-free products are designed differently from flued fireplaces. The exact installation and ventilation requirements must be confirmed from the model information.
Why is the pilot on but the main burner will not light?
The fault may involve the control valve, thermocouple or thermopile, blocked burner ports or the operating sequence. A technician should test the system.
Can you service a freestanding Home Fires gas unit?
Yes, submit the model and photos so the correct appliance type and likely parts can be assessed before booking.
