Fireplace Experts came to my home to provide a Preventative Maintenance inspection of my gas Fireplace. It was determined that the remote was not working.
The company advised that a new remote "unit" was required at a cost of $500. for the material. No other option was suggested.
Happy we did not agree to purchase a new unit from Fireplace Expert, as we were able to correct the issue ourselves! The remote unit is working perfectly fine, just needed the ON button held for 30 seconds to pair!!
As a side note, the recommended unit can be purchased locally at several big box retailers for approximately $300. Simple plug in :)
