Fireplace Remote Controls
One of the many conveniences of a natural gas or electric fireplace is remote control! You can literally light your fireplace at the touch of a button. Picture it - you're sitting on the couch watching a movie as the sun sets. It's getting chilly, so what do you do? You grab the fireplace remote control and turn on the fire!

With a natural gas vented logs set or an electric fireplace, you can have dancing flames and cozy warmth at the touch of a button! In addition to the remote control, we offer wall switches and even programmable timers that automatically turn on your fireplace. The programmable timer is a great option if you want your living area nice and cozy before you set foot out of bed in the morning or before you get home from work in the evening! When you're searching for a remote or a remote replacement, make sure the one you purchase is compatible with your fireplace. Many of our fireplace remotes are compatible with multiple fireplaces. However, there are some remote controls that are designed to work with a specific model or brand. This is usually more of a problem when customers are searching for a replacement remote or looking to get an extra remote control. Be sure to read about the compatibility of the remote control that you plan to purchase for your natural gas or electric fireplace.

Can I just buy a new sky tech remote control and will it work, or does it need to be programmed with the receiver?
1 Answer
Generally, remotes are sold with a receiver and are pre-paired from the factory. Most units do have the option to pair a new remote with the receiver however that will depend on the model. Â

My remote will not turn on the fireplace. I can turn the switch on the receiver to on, and the fireplace will come on, but it won't on the remote. Why is this?
1 Answer
We would recommend trying to replace the batteries in both the receiver (the black box with the switch, connected to the gas valve) and the transmitter (the hand-held remote), then trying to re-sync the parts as you did when the remote control was first installed. If the transmitter still doesn't work, it likely needs to be replaced.

My remote has stopped working, and I have replaced all the batteries. The red light on the small receiver doesn't come on. What can I do?
1 Answer
If you are sure the receiver is still installed correctly and you also replaced the batteries in the receiver as well as the transmitter, there is a good chance the remote has died. This does tend to happen, and a replacement remote must then be purchased. Most remotes are only warrantied for replacement for one year.

I have a Monessen propane gas fireplace that is operated by an Acumen remote model no FDC-504. When I tried to start it up for winter I put new batteries in the receiver box and new batteries in the remote. When the receiver is in the on position the flashing light is off. When I put it in the remote position to use the transmitter, the light flashes as if the batteries are low. The remote says it is on but nothing is happening. Now what?
1 Answer
Check to confirm that the batteries are fresh and have the correct polarity for both the remote and receiver. However, if moving the receiver slide switch from the remote or Off position to the On position does not turn the fireplace burner flame on, your issue has nothing to do with the remote.Â

Do any of your millivolt remote/thermostat combinations have a receiver that doesn't require batteries?

February 21, 2018
I have an Ambient TSFSC remote for a Majestic MLDV500PSC fireplace with signature command center and dual fans. The remote controls fireplace start/stop based on set temperature. The remote does not control the fans, because I believe, there's another add required (e.g. "Optional A/C Module"), which enables the remote to control the fans and fireplace lighting. (Not worth it to me to pay the $200 for the A/C module, as I pretty much leave the fan running on high all the time when the fireplace is lit anyway.)
My main question here is, is there a programmable thermostat remote available that would be compatible with the milivolt "signature command center"? Ambient does not appear to provide this. I would like to schedule the fireplace to start and stop, much like a furnace thermostat, which it in effect is for us during some parts of winter. What's available?
Thanks.

A thermostatic remote that would work for your unit without the SCSACM would be the Ambient TSST Touch Screen Hand-Held Thermostat Remote Control.
