doesn't work this year

16 years ago

What kind of repairman do you call? My gas fireplace seems to be old, but it worked the first year we owned the house. Then last year I thought we were wasting money on the pilot light being on all year, so turned it off, now can't remember how I did it. But I also think there is a hole in a connection, so I just left the fireplace alone.

Who ya gonna call?

Look around the control valve area, see if you can find a brand name. With luck you'll find a model number as well...

With that info, you may be able to find lighting info online. If not, you'll still be able to track down a local service person.

Or you could call your gas supply company: some of them will come light your gas appliances as a courtsey/safety service.
