We started noticing some issues with our Heat N Glo fireplace about a year ago. It would take longer to light or go out shortly after lighting periodically, we could usually turn off the switch at the wall and turn it back on to get it to relight. However, this year it would only light for about 2 minutes before going out and we would have to wait around an hour before it would relight for another 2 minutes. Reached out to our local dealer and they quoted $160 for the first half hour plus $25 for every 15 minutes after that plus parts.After researching I found a lot of other people who had the same issue and started with this module, very easy to change out, just be careful not to pull on the wires too hard as you remove them from the old module. With the new module the fireplace fired right up, it sounds better and there seems to be more of a spark when lighting. If you are having issues change this part out first before doing anything else!

This little box just saved me ~$300 to get a fireplace technician out just to inspect why my fireplace is not working. They are scheduling 8-12 weeks out too!We bought the house in 2020 and the heatilator fireplace stopped working this month (01.2023). When I turn on the switch, it wouldn't even click or spark. So I suspected power issues... I tested the outlet, checked the breaker box, and they were fine. I moved on next to the gas valve, it was turned on and the gas was flowing... then to this module... a bit deformed was an understatement (see pictures).It was super frustrating because the warranty expired and it the estimate was high just to get a tech out to look at the problem, excluding the actual repair and ordering parts. Also, for a fireplace part, you'd think all the parts should be able to withstand the heat and last longer, not deformed and stop working in 2 years.I decided to look online to replace the little ignitor module. Naturally, I look on Amazon and found the same exact replacement. After swapping out the wires and connectors, I flipped on the switch. I hear clicking and I see sparks... waited 15 seconds for the gas to flow and VROOM! The fireplace is working again! I danced and cheered as if I've just discovered fire for the first time!Base on this experience, if I need to replace the modulator again, I'll know what to do... for around $50... it was certainly worth a shot to try the repair. I really hope this wont melt either though... In the long term, I won't be considering heatilator fireplace as a replacement...

About a year ago the pilot light on my fireplace wasn't working so I called a company to come out and fix it. (I will not name the company because they really don't deserve any sort of recognition). Anyway, they tried to tell me this part was $1800 and I looked at them as if they had kicked my dog (to put it mildly). I found this part on Amazon for $61 and installed it myself and bam working fireplace. I definitely recommend that if anybody has a similar issue to go on you tube or read the manual. These companies are just out here to take your hard earned cash when you can go simply go online and do it yourself but take extreme measures when doing so. I'm not an electrician by any means. Just someone who will not be taken advantage of.

To whomever stumbles upon this review take my advise and check the transformer that powers the module FIRST. After our heat and glow fireplace started turning off after about 10 minutes of use i began researching causes for the malfunction. Most of the posts online suggested replacing the igniter (or at least cleaning it with fine sand paper first) which i did to no avail. The next suggestions were to replace the control module which i also did and which also failed to fix the problem. I was geared up to replace the gas regulator when a friend suggested testing the transformer. I scoffed but to my surprise sure enough it was not working. To double check i removed the transformer plug and inserted D batteries into the back up power slot and sure enough the fireplace stayed on. Not ONE review suggested checking the transformer plug.... so there ya go. I'm giving the module 4 stars because I installed it and it works fine.
