Q: Is there a universal remote for a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>There is no universal remote that will work for all gas fireplaces or electric models. That&rsquo;s because different remotes are designed to work with specific fireplace wiring, so some remotes may only work for on/off functions, while others work with fireplaces that have extra settings, such as timers or programmable thermostats. If you need a new remote, ensure the replacement is compatible with your specific fireplace model.</p></div>

Q: Does a hearth have to be a certain size?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.</p></div>

Q: Can I operate my electric fireplace without the remote?

• <div><p>Yes, you can operate an electric fireplace (and other types of fireplaces) without the remote. If you&rsquo;ve misplaced the remote or are waiting for the replacement to arrive, you can still control the fireplace at the access panel. You can find the access panel near the firebox, typically located at the bottom or top of this section.</p></div>

"I have been using them for 3 years for multiple projects and would not go to somebody else. They also built a cabin in the woods. It was built 10 miles from the road so it was like carrying all the stuff up the path. They also did the garage and remodeling of the house, mostly kitchen and a little bit of plumbing work in the bathroom. I am still using them and I would be using them for the next thing that will be coming up too."
