Remote Control Install in Aubrey — FAQ
Can any gas fireplace take a remote or thermostat?
It depends on the ignition. A millivolt standing-pilot system is the simplest case, since a receiver just wires into the valve you already have. Electronic-ignition units need a remote kit matched to their specific control board. And a few older valves flat out won't take any remote until they are replaced, so we confirm compatibility before we hand you a price.
During a power outage, will a remote still let me run the fireplace?
With a millivolt standing-pilot setup, yes. The thermopile makes its own millivolts and the receiver runs off batteries, so the fireplace keeps working when the lights go out. Electronic-ignition systems usually won't unless a battery backup is built in. Find out which type sits behind your fireplace before you count on it during an outage.
Is adding a remote a safe modification?
It is, as long as a licensed tech fits a kit that is listed for your valve. The receiver simply switches the gas control you already have rather than bypassing anything, so the ODS, thermocouple, and flame-proving keep doing their jobs. The real danger is a mismatched DIY kit, which can leave the valve unable to shut off on command.
What does a remote install actually cover, and which factors move the price?
A standard install usually covers the receiver, a handheld or wall thermostat, the wiring to the valve, fresh batteries, and a function test at the end. The price climbs if the valve needs an adapter, if you want a wall thermostat fished inside the wall, or if you are running an electronic system instead of a millivolt one.
