When a Converse fireplace quits, it is rarely mysterious — an idle-season clog, a tired thermocouple, or debris dropped into the flue by the last storm. We show you what failed, fix it with the right part, and leave the unit ready for the next cold snap.

A fireplace in Converse is not fighting a long winter — it is fighting long hot summers sitting unused, dust and insects in the burner, storm debris, and the occasional hard freeze. This is what we find here, and what we check on every visit.
A gas fireplace in Converse may not run for eight months, and sitting idle is hard on it. Dust settles deep in the pilot orifice, ignition parts age without ever being tested, and the unit fails on the first cool night. An annual service before the season fixes the small causes early.
Warm, sheltered burner compartments and vent terminations are prime nesting spots in Converse. Wasps and mud daubers pack mud and nest material into burner ports and pilot assemblies, blocking gas flow and warping the flame pattern. We clear nests safely, clean the ports, and check the venting end to end.
Storm season drops limbs, leaves and roofing debris into open flues across Bexar County, and strong wind over the roof can reverse a marginal draft and push smoke back into the room. We clear blockages, check the cap, and diagnose downdrafts by cause instead of guessing at parts.
Oklahoma weather can swing from a warm afternoon to a cold night in hours, and Converse fireplaces get lit, shut off and relit with the swings. That stop-start use is hard on igniters and thermocouples, and it rewards a unit that has been serviced. We test ignition through repeated cycles, not one lucky light.

Sitting idle is the most common cause we find in Converse. Dust clogs the tiny pilot orifice, insects nest in the burner ports, and a thermocouple that was already tired gives up over the off months. Usually it is one small part or a thorough cleaning — a tech traces the exact cause on the spot.
If your fireplace has been serviced, a freeze is when it earns its keep. If it has not run in months, test it before the cold arrives — idle units often fail on the coldest night, when every company in Bexar County is booked solid. A service visit ahead of the freeze beats an emergency call during it.
Once a year, even with light use. In Converse, an unused gas fireplace still collects dust, insects and heat-aged gaskets, and the first cold front is when neglected units fail. Book the annual service in the fall, before the first front, and the unit should light first try all season.
Leave the fireplace off, and if the smell is strong, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 first. Once it is safe, call us. A faint odor at startup can be a delayed ignition, but it can also be a leaking valve or connector, and that gets fixed before the fireplace is used again.
Usually not. Remotes fail from dead batteries, a receiver that lost its pairing, or a worn wall switch, and all three are quick diagnoses. If the remote system checks out, the fault sits in the valve or ignition, and we trace it in the same visit and replace only the part that failed.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
