  Tell the electrician he is liable for new remotes as he disposed of them.

  Alternatively ring Aldi number tell em the box didn't have a remote in it and they should ship you one free (as it's an installed item) or if your to honest would sell you some.

    Is he? No way to tell if OP misplaced them or if they were even in the box at all. And if they were left in the box, and the electrician offered to remove the cardboard boxes, was it the OP or the electrician's responsibility to make sure it was empty?

    Thanks I'll ring Aldi and see if they can send some and how much. I know the boxes came with remotes because I did see them at one stage.

  Buy a universal RF remote from ebay and see if you can get them working.

  My question to the electrician would be, assuming there you don't have a a wall control unit, how did you test that they worked?

    Thanks I'll look for some. The electrician hooked them up when doing a bunch of other stuff and had to come back a week later for more stuff. It was on the second visit he went to test the fans and we couldn't find the remotes. So yeah :/

      He left an untested electrical appliance for you to use for a week? Sure chance of stuff going wrong and it just likely wouldn't work if it did but still :/…

      Edit: do you have the instruction books as aldi usualy puts remotes in a bag with them…

  if you go to Bunnings the remote comes with the receiver that's why they're so expensive.
  If you can just buy the remote from ebay you need to know the reset and learning procedure. I just put in some mercator fans all you do is turn the fan on at switch then hold a remote button down for 3 seconds then your good to go but if it was a generic remote I'm not sure if it would work all the keys.
  Mercator state A million unique
  device IDs enable independent
  control of multiple fans within
  close proximity
