Electric fireplaces offer an economical alternative to traditional home fireplaces, according to Fireplaces-Fireplaces.com. Electric fireplaces designed for outdoor use, however, require special gas canisters to operate, and these units can experience ignition problems.
Delayed Ignition
If the electric fireplace has difficulty starting, the gas supply may be low or the burner ports or orifice may have collected dirt, according to Electric Fireplaces Direct.
Hot Surface Ignition
If the fireplace's hot surface ignition fails to operate, the user may have to connect or reconnect the fireplace to its power supply.
Burner Problems
A burner that fails to stay lit may have a valve problem, or its pilot light may have gone out. The gas supply may also require refilling.
Remote Control Issues
If an electric furnace fails to respond to remote control, then either the receiver or the remote control device may simply need fresh batteries.
Warnings
Leaks in the gas supply's fittings or hoses may create not only mechanical problems but safety hazards. Electric Fireplaces Direct urges users to check these components carefully before activating the fireplace.
