Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Installing a timer switch on a gas fireplace?

I put a turn knob timer on mine and works fine. I would assume this works the same. Just make sure it’s a single pole switch
Correct. But you should be able to peek and see behind the wall plate
That’s one of those that ticks though, right? That would drive Mrs 71 nuts.
If it's on a single pole breaker in the box, it's 110v
It’s going to be the switch for all the switches in that specific room
If it’s the bonus room then hit that switch
I tried that
Didn’t try that one- will do it when I get home.
I was trying to figure out if the switch had some sort of other way of activating the FP without being on a circuit- was it some sort of special switch or something. I am a neophyte when it comes to electricity
Noooooo these are probably old baseboard heaters
it's a custom house that was built in 2017. Floor refers to the floor electrical outlets (I think)
I thought so also, that's why I recommended checking that breaker. Floor outlets aren't used often.
on a single pole 20 amp circuit?
Floor heat, nice
just the bathroom tile
