How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Hearth Series gas fireplaces: intermittent pilot ignition failure. The Hearth Series uses a SIT 820 valve assembly that’s sensitive to voltage fluctuation common in Marietta’s older East Cobb subdivisions with original 1980s electrical panels. We see the pilot light but no main burner ignition, or the unit shuts down mid-cycle. Our fix: test gas pressure at the manifold, clean the flame sensor with a fine abrasive (never replace unnecessarily), and replace the ignition module with an OEM SIT part or a White-Rodgers aftermarket equivalent that carries the same 1-year warranty at roughly 60% of dealer cost.
• Heritage wood-burning fireplaces: cracked refractory panels. The Heritage line ships with 1-inch refractory cement panels that develop hairline fractures after 3-5 seasons of the thermal cycling typical in Marietta’s variable winters. Left alone, the cracks widen and expose the metal firebox wrapper to direct flame. We photograph every crack with the camera, quote panel replacement or a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing if the damage is surface-level, and never recommend a full firebox rebuild when panel swap solves it.
• Olympia Chimney inserts: blower motor bearing noise and seized units. The insert blower assemblies (Fasco A166 models on 2017-2020 units) draw combustion air from the same cavity, so fine ash works into the motor housing over seasons. The bearing whine starts around year four in Marietta homes that burn oak and hickory, which are dense and produce more residual ash than softwood. We pull the blower, test amperage draw against spec, and install a replacement from our Haven buying network - usually a Genteq or OEM Fasco depending on stock and your preference.
• Direct-vent gas units: failed snap disc and safety shutoff. Olympia Chimney’s direct-vent systems use a snap disc temperature limiter at the flue collar that fatigues faster in Marietta’s humid shoulder seasons when units cycle on and off repeatedly rather than running steady. The symptom is a unit that lights, runs 10-15 minutes, then locks out until cooled. We test the disc with a multimeter, replace with an OEM Robertshaw component, and verify the new disc opens at the correct temperature with a heat gun before we leave.
• Chimney top dampers: corroded cable or stuck flapper plate. Olympia Chimney’s top-mount damper with stainless cable works well until the cable guide tube collects condensation and rusts at the bend point, common in Marietta’s spring and fall when temperature differentials between flue and ambient are widest. The damper won’t open fully or drops closed unexpectedly. We run the camera to confirm flapper condition, then replace the cable assembly with a Gelco stainless unit or upgrade to a lock-top damper if the flapper plate itself is warped from over-firing.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Corrine’s or a named tech’s availability, and texts you a photo and ETA the morning of service. No voicemail, no web-form black hole.
2. 2
   Camera-first inspection. We run the chimney scan before touching tools. For gas units, we check manifold pressure, thermocouple output in millivolts, and draft with a digital manometer. For wood-burning, we classify creosote buildup and document refractory condition. Camera first, quote second, work third - in that order, every time.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. You get a single-page document with the finding, the fix, the parts source (OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket), the labor line, and the total. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires this in writing before work starts. We wait for your go-ahead.
4. 4
   Repair with documented steps. The tech photographs before, during, and after. Gas pressure readings, torque specs on valve fittings, refractory panel gap measurements - whatever applies gets recorded.
5. 5
   Operational test and cleanup. We fire the unit through a complete cycle, verify shutoff and restart, and leave the hearth area cleaner than we found it. The photo record uploads to your file within 24 hours under Haven Standard Clause 4.
6. 6
   Warranty and follow-up. Every Olympia Chimney repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the same component fails within a year, we make it right. The written warranty stays in your file, not just our system.
