How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• OPD-2000 Series: Failed ignition module in cold-start conditions. The OPD-2000 direct-vent gas fireplaces common in Greenfield Hill split-levels from the early 2000s use a Fenwal ignition module that weakens after 8-12 Fairfield winters. The symptom is intermittent pilot light, often misdiagnosed as a bad thermopile. We test module output with a manometer first, then source the correct Fenwal replacement or a tested-compatible aftermarket unit. The fix takes about 90 minutes once diagnosed.
• OPW-3000 Wood-Burning Fireplaces: Cracked refractory panels behind the firebrick. The OPW-3000’s factory refractory panels are thinner than comparable HeatShield-backed systems and develop hairline cracks after repeated thermal cycling in Fairfield’s freeze-thaw climate. We photograph every crack during inspection, replace with Olympia Chimney OEM panels or a thicker aftermarket refractory set where clearance allows, and re-seal with proper refractory cement rated to 2,500°F.
• Inserts: Warped faceplate gasket causing smoke seepage. Olympia Chimney inserts installed in Fairfield’s pre-1970 masonry fireplaces often have compressed or brittle faceplate gaskets after 15+ years. The tell is a faint smoke smell during startup, not a visible leak. We carry replacement gaskets in common widths, match the original compression spec, and verify seal with a smoke pencil test before we leave.
• Gas Log Sets: Clogged pilot orifice from coastal moisture. Fairfield’s proximity to Long Island Sound means higher ambient moisture than inland Connecticut, and Olympia Chimney’s standard pilot orifice can develop corrosion deposits that narrow the gas flow. We clean with proper orifice tools, never drill out (which voids any remaining warranty and risks over-firing), and install a moisture-resistant cap where the original design allows.
• OPD-2000 Venting: Restricted termination cap from ice damming. The low-profile termination cap on OPD-2000 systems can ice over during Fairfield’s March freeze-thaw cycles, causing pressure switch faults and shutdown. We clear the restriction, verify proper slope on the vent run, and where the installation geometry permits, swap to a Gelco high-wind termination that sheds ice better than the original design.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers at (475) 251-7537, 24 hours a day. We ask the model series if you know it, the symptoms, and whether the unit is gas or wood-burning. Most Fairfield appointments are set within 48 hours.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and photographs the firebox, flue, damper, and venting. You see the images on a tablet. We deliver a plain-English verdict: what’s wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney units, we source OEM parts when available and cost-justified. When Olympia Chimney backorders a part (common on older OPW-3000 refractory panels), we use quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco that matches or exceeds original spec. We explain the choice and the price difference before ordering.
4. 4
   Repair and test. Most repairs finish in one visit. Gas systems get a full combustion analysis. Wood-burning units get a draft test and smoke-pencil verification. If it’s not right, we don’t leave.
5. 5
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive photos, the inspection report, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. No paperwork to file. If something isn’t right, we come back. No arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup. We tarp the work area, vacuum with HEPA filtration, and leave the hearth cleaner than we found it.
