Remote Control Install in Fairview
Remote control installation adds a handheld or wall remote (and receiver module) to a compatible gas fireplace, letting you ignite and adjust the flame without reaching the valve. We confirm valve compatibility before fitting.
Why this matters in Fairview
Fairview keeps a semi-rural feel with large lots, the 55-plus Heritage Ranch, and equestrian acreage. Big custom masonry fireplaces need relining and crown work, while stand-alone wood-burning hearths on the larger properties require correctly-sized spark arrestors. That local stock is exactly why our Fairview crews tailor remote control install to the homes here — not a generic checklist.
Common signs in Fairview homes
- You manually reach the valve to light the fire

Remote Control Install in Fairview — FAQ
Can any gas fireplace take a remote or thermostat?
Millivolt (standing-pilot) systems are the easiest — a receiver wires into the existing valve. Electronic-ignition systems need a remote kit matched to that specific control board. Some older valves can't accept any remote without being replaced, so compatibility gets confirmed before quoting.
Will a remote let me run the fireplace during a power outage?
On a millivolt standing-pilot system, yes — the thermopile generates its own millivolts and the receiver runs on batteries, so it works with the power out. Electronic-ignition systems generally won't unless they have a battery backup. Know which type you have before relying on it for outages.
Is adding a remote a safe modification?
Yes, when a licensed tech uses a kit listed for your valve. The receiver switches the existing gas control rather than bypassing any safety, so the ODS, thermocouple, and flame-proving all still function. A mismatched DIY kit is the real hazard — it can leave the valve unable to close on command.
What does a remote install include, and what affects the price?
Typically the receiver, a handheld or wall thermostat, wiring to the valve, fresh batteries, and a function test. Cost rises if the valve needs an adapter, if you want a wall-mounted thermostat fished through the wall, or if the existing system is electronic rather than millivolt.
