Pellet Stove Repair in Georgetown, TX

Diagnosis starts at the control board. The stored error or status code comes out first, the fault gets reproduced, and then it gets traced down the chain to the failed link: igniter, auger feed, combustion blower, vacuum or pressure switch, convection fan, or the board itself. Because the vent and clearances were established at the original install, the repair reduces to isolating one bad component inside the unit.

Most calls trace to the same five failures: a burned-out igniter, which is a normal wear item that gives out every few seasons; a seized or shorn auger motor; a combustion or convection blower on the decline; an exhaust path fouled with ash; and control-board or sensor faults that throw lockout codes. Since the symptom rarely names the culprit, our approach is to test each link in sequence instead of swapping parts on a guess.

Airflow explains most lockouts. Fly-ash packed into the burn pot, the exhaust path, or the vacuum-switch port starves the burn of air, which overworks the igniter and blower until the safety switch trips. Understand that the switch is performing correctly: it shuts the stove down rather than allow smoke to spill into the room. The proper repair clears the restriction; bypassing the switch is never on the table.

In most cases repair wins: an igniter, auger motor, or blower on its own costs a fraction of a new stove, and our quotes break parts and labor into line items so the decision stays in your hands. Age changes the calculation, though. Once a fifteen-year-old unit stacks board, blower, and auger failures inside a single season, you will hear from us plainly that a new stove is the better spend.

With a camera and a checklist, not a sales pitch. On a house that age we run a full code-level inspection: flue scoped tile by tile, firebox, smoke chamber, crown, joints, and flashing, all photographed into a written report. Victorians here hide surprises — unlined flues, old chimney fires, abandoned stove thimbles behind plaster. Knowing exactly what you own comes first; pricing repairs comes second.

Both, case by case. Weathered limestone with surface loss can often be dressed back or built up with a compatible repair mortar; stone that's cracked through or shedding in sheets gets cut out and replaced with matching material. What we won't do is smear portland cement over soft old stone — it traps moisture and pops the surrounding faces off within a few winters.

Probably less than a salesman would tell you, and more than nothing. Twenty years is when builder-grade crowns crack, chase covers rust at their seams, and caps work loose — small, cheap failures that let water start expensive ones. A photographed inspection sorts it out in about an hour. If everything's sound, the report says exactly that and you're done for the year.
