Empire Comfort Systems FRBC on Off Remote Control

Product Description

The EMPIRE COMFORT SYSTEMS FRBC is a battery-operated on/off remote control system designed for remote-ready gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts. The kit includes a remote control receiver and is compatible with remote safety pilot kits, giving HVAC and hearth technicians a clean, reliable way to add wireless on/off switching to qualifying appliances. The FRBC operates without hardwired connections, simplifying retrofit installations in residential settings where running new low-voltage wiring is impractical.

The FRBC is intended for use with Empire remote-ready gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts. It is a common upgrade or replacement component in residential hearth installations where the homeowner wants basic on/off control from a seated position. The system pairs a handheld remote with a receiver unit that integrates with the appliance's existing safety pilot circuit.
