Simple but so convenient

A simple addition, but it really makes a gas fireplace as easy to use as your TV. Very easy to install and even easier to use... 2 buttons... On and Off... can't. get much easier or more convenient!

Pros

Simple to install Simple to use Convenient to have

Nice basic remote

We’d never had a remote start fireplace before but knew when we switched our our logs that we wanted to have a remote. This is a super basic on/off remote, but that’s exactly what we wanted. It’s nice to be able to turn the fireplace on with the touch of a button! I was really impressed with this little remote’s range too...we experimented and found out that, if we were so inclined, we could use it from all the way upstairs and across the house to turn on or off the fireplace in our downstairs living room!

Battery operated remote

We have used the same remote since log installation for 7 years. All it ever needed was a change of batteries. This year new batteries didn’t work, so ordered a replacement.

Cons

Although the battery pack that connects to logs has an easy connect end, our original one was not connected in that manner (it appeared to be the same, but would not come apart) so connecting the replacement was a little more difficult.

Good value, good service

This is an excellent unit that installs easily and works well and as advertised. Though just a simple on/off switch, the convenience of the remote control is nice to have. We had a nice experience with the sellers who answered our question about whether this was the correct unit for our log set. They also called us at home to get an address correction so that shipment would not be delayed and gave a nice suggestion for wiring the unit in series with the existing switch. All in all, a very good on-line purchase experience.

Pros

Easy to install, works flawlessly.

Cons

None.

Great Replacement Remote for Fireplaces

This remote control was a perfect replacement for my old one. It works just as well as the original and was easy to set up.
