Yes, you can add a thermostat to your electric fireplace. This will allow you to control the temperature of your fireplace and make it more efficient.
Yes, you can use a smart thermostat with a fireplace. You can either use the smart thermostat to control the fireplace or the fireplace to control the smart thermostat.
If you have a fireplace that uses a remote, you may be able to use a universal remote to control it. Many universals remotes can be programmed to work with multiple devices, so it's worth trying. If it doesn't work, you may need to purchase a specific remote for your fireplace.
Assuming you mean a gas insert: Most gas inserts have a remote control with which you can adjust the flame and heat output. Some also have a wall switch that controls the fireplace. These switches are usually located near the fireplace. If your gas insert does not have a remote control, you can purchase one separately.

Even though I'm not particularly skilled at fixing things, the Durablow fireplace kit worked flawlessly and was quite simple for me to install on my own. Although it was rather simple, I did read the instructions and watch a YouTube video. I've had it for a few weeks now, and so far it's been fantastic. It appears to be of good quality and simple to use. I didn't get the nicer unit; I just got the off/on switch device with remote.

This Skytech Smart Stat II/III fireplace remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating appliances. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20' range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,567 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver's code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.

Two of these were purchased to operate my Heat-N-Glo fireplaces. Installation went perfectly. took no more than five minutes. Both have greatly increased the usability of both of my fireplaces and perform like a charm. I regret not learning about these when fireplaces first came into use. By the way, I had a technical support query for Skytech. I found them to be incredibly helpful and responsive. a delight to work with.

6000C IPI installation by Heat N Glo.The instructions are not particularly clear, but in order to adjust temperature, you will require a trigger input and a connection to the thermostat feature.For power outages, IPI units feature a battery backup. One receiver wire should be plugged in its position, running to the module, to replace the red, fused leg that was connected to the battery tray. I had to switch the second rec leg's connector to a male spade. Disconnect the brown wire on the control box that links to the cable coming from the wall switch. Connect the brown wire with the new spade on the second receiver leg. Utilizing the receiver's on/off switch in accordance with the instructions, check for functionality. Skytech's instructions state that the receiver wires' polarity is irrelevant, however they do come with male and female spade connectors. Once the receiver is connected using two male spades, a two wire connection is rather simple. The original wiring has not been changed, so you can reconnect the wall switch and battery tray to go back. The 300C remote cost around $70 more than this.

My fireplace insert's installation and programming of this were both quite simple. It works fantastically; unlike my previous remote, which occasionally failed to turn on or off when you clicked the button. I enjoy using my fireplace frequently during the winter, and this remote makes it even better. Although the touch screen doesn't seem as good as some other touch screens you may be used to, such those on your phone, it still functions, and I'm quite delighted with it.Revision: 2/1/16The gadget that goes under the fireplace includes an alert so that if the temperature rises beyond 120 degrees, it will start beeping and switch the fireplace off automatically, as I learned after using the remote constantly. My gas insert apparently becomes really hot because after approximately ten minutes the device switches off. After contacting the firm, I learned that the unit cannot be positioned underneath; instead, it must be placed outside, which is a bother and makes it noticeable. Other than that, I continue to be satisfied with the remote.

bought to replace a worn-out appliance. I had no idea this was a battery-operated device. The thermostat control on this model is excellent. (Some versions only have an automated six-hour off switch while on.)It is more challenging to get the remote and battery model to sync. It requires patience to sync, but once it does, everything is fine until the batteries need to be replaced.For both the upstairs and basement, I have one of each model.

used in conjunction with Savanna Oak 24" vent-free natural gas logs, which I bought from Home Depot (the best price I could find for 24" gas logs with millivolt control was about $330 tax in February 2015). The upgrade for thermostatic control just took a few minutes because the remote unit fitted precisely where the wireless remote on/off switch was placed in the Savanna logs. When you follow the instructions, programming is simple and easy. It only took five minutes to easily mount the wall across the room. The thermostat remote slips into the wall mount, making it convenient to detach and use as a wireless remote if desired. Overall, it took much less time than an hour to complete the installation, which also involved replacing the old ventless gas logs and retrofitting the thermostat.The only thing I have left to ask is how long the controls will last before the batteries need to be changed. Since I installed this in a rented studio apartment, I'm hoping for one season. I will be overjoyed if they last just one season of use.The Skytech TS/R-2 is a thermostat that I wholeheartedly suggest adding to gas fireplaces.

The tool operates without issue. have no problems thus far and satisfy all of my expectations, however I will eventually need to upgrade it. I'm quite pleased with it altogether.
Open fireplaces do not actually make your house colder, but they can contribute to drafts that make your house feel colder. If you have an open fireplace, be sure to close the damper when the fire is not in use to help reduce drafts.
Most smart thermostats can be installed without an electrician, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, you can always hire one. There are a few things to keep in mind when installing a smart thermostat, like making sure the power is turned off to the area you'll be working in and that you have the right tools. But overall, it's a pretty straightforward process.
A fireplace may make your house colder if it is not properly insulated. The heat from the fire will escape up the chimney and out of the house, taking the warm air with it. You can prevent this by making sure the fireplace is properly sealed and by using a fireproof blanket to cover the opening when not in use.
There is no easy answer when it comes to the question of whether it costs more to run the heat or a gas fireplace. The answer depends on a number of factors, including the type and size of the home, the climate, the price of gas, and the efficiency of the fireplace. In general, however, it is typically more expensive to run the heat than a gas fireplace.
If your electric fireplace has a remote control, you can often get it to work without the remote. Check the batteries in the remote first. If they are dead, replace them and see if the fireplace works. If the batteries are not the problem, check to see if there is a switch on the wall near the fireplace that turns it on and off. If there is, turn the switch to the "on" position. If your fireplace still does not work, consult the owner's manual for further troubleshooting steps.
