Blowers

Not all fireplaces accept blowers. Fireplaces that allow the addition of a blower or fan kit are considered circulating. This simply means the fireplace uses the blower to draw in cool room air through a vented panel. As cool room air is taken in, that air is heated as it circulates around the hot firebox. Most manufacturers will specify if a fireplace model includes the option to add a blower or fan kit, so it’s important to read your owner’s manual for details on which kit to use. Blowers are most commonly used in gas fireplaces, but wood burning inserts, stoves and even masonry fireplaces can often times take advantage of a blower.
