    Is this the only unit that is having a problem? Is it part of a multiple dwelling? Im asking because I had this situation a few years back. What had happened was that my utility provider had come by and changed out the gas meter. I didn't even notice. They had left the gas turned "off" at the meter. When fall came and the temps dropped - you guessed it (nothing). Might want to check that first.

I have a gas fireplace and on a windy day the pilot light actually went out.
