These work great. They are quiet on low and medium and you can put them in a doorway without blocking it.

Here's my system. The ceiling fan pulls the hot air away from the apex of the cathedral ceiling, then the wall fan pumps it into a stairway to the upstairs. The door fan then pulls it into the master bedroom. We rarely use the door fan.
The system works OK when it's 78 degrees in the living room and 58 upstairs. Not much gets into the bedroom.

this is the only fan I use...has 3 speed settings...I've only had to operate it in the low speed setting..Seabreeze boasts it uses less power than a 100 watt light bulb..

Hi Karl,
The picture of the upright-type you have posted, can you list the name of if and where you got it?
Thanks,
SG

They also make one of those upright ones that oscillates on its pedastal. I have an old one that the previous owners left at my place.
Southern Gent,
The ones I bought aren't exactly as pictured. The are made by Holmes, and I bought them at WalMart. In the summer they sell for 40-50 dollars. I bought mine at their end of summer sale for 20 dollars each.
I like them because they are squirrel cage fans instead of propellor fans, and thus quieter. Also they don't take up much room.

Hey Karl,
Thanks for the reply.
I have been using 2 sizes, from an 8 in. sq. box fax to a 23 in. fan in a circular frame instead of a box.
Both of these have done fairly well, but i like the idea of having more door space. The fans I have been using sits in a cased opening 3 FT wide between the kitchen and LR.
I will go out and look for one of the tower type.
thanks again,
SG

well, I don't have pics of my actual application yet, but I do have links...
I have 4 of these corner fans. 2 in doorways between the unfinished side of my basement where the stove is, and the finished side, and 2 facing upward under 4 X 10 floor vents in my kitchen and hall between the 2 bedrooms... They use very little electricity, and are almost dead silent, even with 4 running, and move a surprising amount of heat.

Also, as if the Jotul firelight isn't hot enough, I added one of these:
Magic Heat Reclaimer
I didn't pay that much for the reclaimer... I think I paid $142 including shipping... so look around, you can find great prices on these.
On a 6 degree day, without the heat coming on, I'm able to keep 3780 sq feet heated. The coldest part of the house, the master bedroom is about 72, and the laundry room where the stove is stays about 78-80
