Fireplace Heaters and Blowers
As effective as a fireplace is at heating a small area, maximizing your
fireplace’s heating capacity requires the installation of a fireplace blower.
Also known as heaters or fans, these fireplace inserts rely on a small,
electronic motor to circulate warm air without adversely affecting the
combustibility or strength of the fire. When using a fireplace blower you
are essentially using a tiny amount of electricity to greatly increase the
heat generated by the fuel in your fireplace, whether that fuel is
wood or gas.
Installing a fireplace heater or blower is an easy and effective way to
boost energy efficiency and warm your home, especially if you have
a drafty fireplace.

You only need to answer a few simple questions:
• Do you have an electrical outlet near your fireplace?
• Is the outlet on the right or the left?
If your outlet is on the left, you will want a model with a left-handed motor.
• Have you chosen the right size blower for your fireplace?
• Are you interested in maximizing you fireplace’s efficiency?
It’s as simple as that.
