I wanted to make a fire in the gas fireplace in our den last week.
It has been the coldest, rainiest Springtime in history around here, plus so I was thinking about how cozy plus fun it would be to have a fire plus to sit down in my cozy reading chair by the fire while I sipped on a glass of wine.
Well, when I went to turn on the fireplace, nothing happened. I flipped the switch on the side of the fireplace numerous times, however that didn’t help. I wasn’t sure what to do, however it scared me a little bit because I am scared of the gas that feeds into the fireplace. I am constantly terrified that my gas fireplace is going to blow up one day plus destroy my beach house or something. I know that it’s entirely never going to happen, plus even my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C contractor told me that it has a lot of built in safety protocols, although I still constantly worry about things like that. Anyway, because I’m such a chicken about stuff like that, I called my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C corporation right away to get their advice. They told me that whenever the pilot light goes out on a gas fireplace, there’s usually only a reason to be distraught if the gas flow hasn’t been stopped, but he told me that usually, a pilot light in a fireplace goes off because there’s a failure in the gas supply. I didn’t smell any gas, plus so they said that possibilities were that was the case. He told me that if I was too scared to check it, they could do an emergency Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C call plus send someone out, and of course, I went outside plus waited for the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C truck to get there!
