Does this fireplace have to be turned on by the remote control? is there anyway you can have it always on so it can be controlled by a switched outlet?

It has to turned on with the remote. The flame & heat control are also on the control. I simply leave the master control switch, on the left side, in the on position, and use the remote to control everything. It is very easy to operate.

There is a switch on the unit as well as a remote. The switch on the unit is just a flat push button type. The same buttons exist on the unit for the flame intensity and heat on/off. Maybe an electrician could wire a outlet to the switch on the unit??

There is a master on/off switch on the left side of the unit, behind the glass. There are also control buttons for the intensity of theflame and the heat settings.

There are buttons on the side for power and how bright the fire is, looks great!

I bought this fireplace for my son and family for the Xmas of 2013. As far as I know, it can be turned on manually and also by remote. We have an electric fireplace also, but a different brand; it turns on by remote or manually also.

In order to use a remote, your fireplace must be "self generating". If you don't know, one way to tell is by examining your pilot light. Non-self generating pilots will have a thermocouple which is about 1/8" dia. Self generating will have a thermopile which is about the diameter of a pencil. I hope that helps.

Yes, the fireplace will still work. If you buy the optional blower though the blower itself will not work without electricity. The fireplace has an igniter to light the fireplace that work from a single aaa battery and it is easy to light. Our living room is 25'x25' and it takes about 30min for it to go from mid 60's to mid 70's if you leave it run. I usually leave it on 2 almost 3 on the dial and it keeps the room about 72.

If the gas fireplace is controlled by a conventional 24v thermostat use a compatible thermostat . If 120 volt wall switch use 120v in wall switch On / off (no dim)

Your Remote Control needs direct line of sight to the receiver - so as long as that is true you are all set. I have my TV mounted above fireplace with receiver mounted under the mantel, this has worked out great.

Yes, check service manual....it is normally on by default....but with the remote controller it can be turned off!

The remote control is battery powered. The light has to be attached to a power source. You have to attach your own cord to it. We have it mounted in an old oak tree and it's beautiful.

My wall switch will over ride the. Device and will turn it on or off. The remote has a manual on or off which will stay on or off. The remote also has an automatic option that will light the fire or shut it down and is controlled by the temperature setting . if too is higher than the setting than flame is out, if room is lower than the setting than flame is lit. I've had 3 different controls & this is the best yet 4 love had no. Problems yet. I strong. Recommend this brand.

If you have a regular electric switch now, then yes it can. I don't think it is code compliant though, because a fireplace may need to be on a timer, especially if it is direct vent.My condo fireplace had a switch, and the association came in a changed them all to timers - minimally to save money. a zwave control is interesting, cause it could be used for back-up heat if not there.

In order to heat it must be plugged in. There is no on/off switch, if that's what you are asking.

No, there is no remote. Also, be advised that the amount of light is very limited. I wanted these for effect only over my fireplace.

I have 3 of these units - one is over 15 years old and the newest was purchased last year. Mine are virtually identical and did not come with a remote control. All of the units have an adjustable thermostatic control which switches the unit on and off based on the room temperature and the thermostat setting. We don't operate the units overnight and always use them in rooms with smoke alarms but have never had a problem.

Yes. U can have either the fireplace on with the blower or u can just have the flames on without it blowing hot air.

I believe that is true and requires it to be turned on by the remote. Also mine only lasted about six months of almost constant on. I had it installed on a directional downlight pointed at a painting over my fireplace until it began blinking like a very dull strobe and would not respond to remote any longer.

Possibly, but it would depend entirely on the control circuitry of the fire place. You'd need to be able to use the timer to interrupt the circuit at a point where it won't interfere with the control settings. That could be simple, or it could be a real pain or even unfeasible. As an example, if the fireplace is controlled by a circuit board, it's very possible the board will default to the "off" setting every time the timer cuts power to it, so you'd still need to manually activate it every time you turn on the timer.

The switch will control power to the fan, but even once the switch is turned on, you will still need to use the remote to turn it on - there is no memory function that saves the ON/OFF state of the fan thru a power cycle.

Ours has a remote, but we also have an on/off switch on the wall. The wall switch does not control any of the fan functions other than on and off.
