So many options - which blower kit is right for me?

How do I find which blower kit my fireplace takes?

There are scores of fireplaces brands and models to choose from these days - Continental, Heat N Glo, Heatilator, Vermont Castings, Lennox, Superior, Monessen Hearth Systems, Comfort Glow, Travis, Security,  and Napoleon to name only a few . Which fireplace brand and model you choose is often a selection made with budget, design, features, and appeal in mind.  What can be even more complicated is how to choose the correct fireplace blower or fan kit for your fireplace.

Most owner's manuals indicate the proper blower kit or fan kit to use, so check your owner's manual before beginning your search. If you're still unsure which blower kit to choose, your local dealer can be a wonderful resource. Fireplaceblowersonline.com is also a great source. We try and publish the fireplace owners' manual for each product / kit variation we sell.  In addition, we make it very easy to locate the correct fireplace blower by make and model of fireplace on our home page.

You also have the option of sending us a "Find My Blower" request. Fill out a simple form by telling us the make and model of your fireplace.  We'll send you an email with an answer and a link!!


There are multiple choices.  Which is right for me?
Often times, certain fireplace models will accept multiple variations of fireplace blower kits. The model or part number of the fireplace blower kit isn't nearly as important as what the kit contains.  All blower kits will contain a blower and a way to integrate the blower into a power source, such as a standard 3-prong power cord. Some blowers integrate into a control module, which your owner's manual should clearly indicate. Most blower kits have the option of a variable speed control and/or a thermostatic on/off switch that we call a thermodisc. The variable speed control allows you to dial in the desired fan speed to accommodate for air flow and fan noise, while a thermodisc is a switch that turns your blower on and off automatically.  This feature is especially useful for fireplaces that do not have a wall switch pre-wired for a blower.

Choose the options which fit your budget and personal needs. Various customizations can also be made to accommodate custom installations.
