If
you are a novice at gas fireplaces in North Vancouver, you’re
probably scared of making a mistake when igniting it. Lighting up Gas
Fireplaces in North Vancouver
shouldn’t be rocket science. There are three basic methods you can
use.
-
Finding the gas source.
You
can directly turn on the source of gas. First, find the source of
gas. If you are using natural gas, this is the line connected
directly to your utility company where a gas meter is stationed
outside your house. If you are using propane, there should be a tank
located outside your home. For natural gas lines, make sure the valve
is parallel to the system’s pipe to open it. For propane tanks,
locate the round valve and turn the knob counterclockwise. There
should be a gauge that will tell you if gas is already flowing.
-
Turn it on inside.
You
can find the fireplace valve inside at the bottom part of your
fireplace. There are fireplaces with a switch that you can easily
turn on or off. If yours do not have a visible switch, find it
somewhere inside the fireplace’s mantel. Turn the valve on and let
the gas flow before igniting the fireplace log.
-
Use the controls at the bottom of the fireplace.
It
is usually hidden by a grate or a plate. Find the ignition button. It
is usually red in color. If there are only on and off knobs, turn the
knob to the “on” position.
If
you have done these steps and your fireplace isn’t lighting up,
call a Heating
company in North Vancouver
such as ProGas North Shore to help you find the right way to light up
your fireplace.
