I have replaced the batteries and tried the learn, but no beeping. Remote is working, though. What next?
1 Answer
If you have replaced the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver and re-syncing does not fix the issue, the remote is likely dead. If this is the case within one year of purchase, a replacement remote would be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

December 6, 2019
My Remote Model VR-1A is not working. I have changed the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver, followed the reset learning instructions, and do not hear any beeps. Is the receiver broken?
1 Answer
If the remote was previously installed and operated normally and now installed the same way, then, yes, you likely have a failed remote kit and it may need to be replaced.

Glen
from Palmdale, CA asked:
February 24, 2018
Does the Real Fyre Basic Variable Remote Control - VR1a work with any gas vented log set or do I have to purchase other things to make the Fireplace work again?
1 Answer
This remote would only work with a pilot kit (valve, pilot assembly) that already offered remote adjustment of the flame. If you have a vented gas log set, you may very well be able to purchase a variable flame remote pilot kit to have remote adjustment of the flame, but the corresponding pilot kit this remote will work with is designed specifically for use with the RH Peterson (Real Fyre) burners we also offer.

Great quality!
I ordered because I ended up losing my remote. Original product would still be going strong. This product is meant to last and works well! Would buy again, but shouldn't need to! I hope.....

I needed a replacement receiver when my last one found itself too close to the flames! Once I had the receiver the instructions made it easy to install. Would buy it again!

Great Product, Great Service!
Due to a snowstorm, we had no heat for three days. My husband has dementia and somehow lost our remote for our aging gas logs.
I shopped at our local fireplace store. They gave me the wrong remote (which I returned) and charged us double of what it should have been. (They later refunded us our money)
Looked online. Was pleasantly surprised to see the eFirePlace Store had the model that we needed.
I ordered it and it arrived quickly PLUS it cost us half the amount our local store charged.

Works well but was hard to install.
The wires were not connected to the receiver, thus making it very tedious and difficult to install.
Pros
- Works easily once installed
Cons
- Too hard to set up. Wires should be already connected to the receiver.

Ordered to replace Mertik Maxitrol remote for gas logs. Was not able to find a replacement anywhere until i happened upon efireplacestore. Saw in previous comment where they said it would work on this model. They were right! Quick delivery, easy to install and setup. Works like a charm.
