How Do I Know Which Fireplace Blower Kit is Right For Me?

Determining which fireplace blower kit is compatible with your fireplace can be complicated for owners who are unfamiliar with fireplaces. Fear not!  Much of installing a blower kit is merely a matter of fitment.  If your fireplace has the room, there's a good change a number of available blower kits will work.  Taking some simple measurements will help us determine which kits will work in your unit.  This approach is especially important with older fireplaces where installation manuals and other documentation is limited.

Most owner's manuals will identify which blower kit is recommended for your model, so if you're unsure of which blower kit to purchase, look at your owner's manual first. If all else fails, call us at 262-989-4882 and we'll help you identify which blower kit best matches your home setup, your budget, and personal preferences.

Following these simple instructions will ensure your blower continues to operate normally and efficiently!!  It's also important to note that most fireplace blowers are self-lubricated, so there's no need to add additional lubrication to the blower.  Adding oil or other lubricants may actually decrease the life of the blower, so when in doubt, give us a call at 262-989-4882.

How Does a Fireplace Blower Increase Efficiency?

To understand just how a fireplace blower increases the efficiency of your fireplace, we must first understand how the convection process of a conventional gas fireplace works. Convection is a process in which heat is transferred through the circulation of a liquid or gas.  Easy enough - right?  Therefore, if we increase circulation, we increase the heat transfer process.

This is where the fireplace blower comes in.  A fireplace blower simply increases the circulation variable in our convection equation. As you can see from the diagram, your fireplace draws in cool air from your room.  This air is heated as it travels up and around the venting until it reaches the upper vent or louver. A blower forces the circulation of this air much faster, so rather than heated air trickling out of your fireplace, you get forced heated air instead.

Used in conjunction with an efficient home furnace and a couple of ceiling fans, you'll distribute warm air so efficiently in your home that savings hundreds of dollars a year in home heating costs will become common practice.
