    In search of quiet, low speed fan

    I own a lot of fans. Box fans, desk fans, ceiling fans, pedestal fans. I use them in the summer. I try to use them in the winter too, to distribute heat from the stoves. Unfortunately every fan I've bought in the last five years is too powerful and too loud even on low, for this purpose. I had...

    Hello everyone, My condo was built in 1989 and the fireplace uses a Heatform-type air circulator. One of the fans doesn’t work, and I’d like to go ahead and replace both. My problem is that the standard “universal” fans that I’m finding have 4” blades and four 4.25” OC bolt holes. My fan...

    Fireplace Insert Fan Stopped Working

    I'm a newbie and this is my first winter with my Napoleon Epic Oakdale wood-burning fireplace insert. The fan to circulate the air has stopped working.

    I have a family room and kitchen area that gets too warm. Then I have what I can best describe as a L shaped hallway at the end of which is the master bedroom. I've done a decent amount of reading on the site and the wall fans won't work. The convection idea was interesting. I'm wondering if...

    Has anyone installed a blower fan for a Martin SA36 fireplace?

    Has anyone installed a blower fan for a Martin SA36 fireplace or able to direct me to someone that could assist? We purchased a house several months ago with gas furnace on second floor. The air duct system is unable to heat the first floor well. A blower on the fireplace could be helpful.

    Ecofan Airmax spinning irregularly

    I purchased an ecofan a few months ago used. It ran fine for about 2 months, but over the last few weeks it has been inconsistent. Sometimes stove temps are 300-400 degrees and it is literally stopped. Other times at those same stove top temps it is spinning normally. Is this the motor going out...

    Hello, I have my two wood insert choices narrowed down two: The Regency i2400 and the Enviro Venice 1700. I really like most everything on the Enviro better, with one major exception: the fan/blower placement. On the Enviro Venice, I like the looks, the efficiency, and the larger viewing...

    Do stove fan's make a stove more efficient, or does it just help spread the heat around.

    Does having a fan on a stove make it any more efficient? Or does it just help even out the temperature in the room. Or worded another way, will I burn less wood with a fan installed, than without (assuming the same room temperature)? I'm assuming EPA stove ratings do not include a fan. My...
