$24.95 door fan

[pelletizer]

A while ago there was a thread about door fans, Someone posted a link to a site selling them for $24.95 plus shipping.
I searched the threads but no luck, Any of you pellet heads and pellet pigs remember the thread?

Thx.

If this is the one that is shaped like a fan, and fits into the upper corner of a door frame, I have heard that they are VERY noisy.

Here is another option that I am going to try in the house, might work for you as well, maybe not, lol:

I actually bought one of these today at HEP sales not even thinking. However I don't think it is extremely loud when it is hung up. If it works I can deal though.

Chris, let us know what you think after you've used it for a while. Most of the reviews I've seen mention that they are very noisy.

I bought this and hard wired it to an outlet in the wall - it works better than any corner fan

Yeah Tree, that looks like a nice unit...is it quiet?

 

[CygnusX1]

Here's the one I use. Works like a charm and is pretty quiet too.

The EntreeAir fan is noisy as hell. It works, but the noise will drive you crazy.

Actually my stove is louder than this fan is so....( it was also on sale for $14)

CygnusX1; Northline Express is the one I am zooming in on I was checking it out last night.
Gonna get 2 of em,

I think I will pick up one of through the wall units at Home Deopt next time I go to town. Looks like the best one I have seen yet. I was probably the one ragging on the Entreeair a while back. Ah well it is what it is and could be you wouldn't notice it so much . I compare it to my $12 Wallyworld 10 inchers that are exceptionally quiet. Anyways looking at them the Home depot rig would be the cats pajamas for getting bottled up heat out of the cursed transoms that most of our houses have. If its quiet great and best of all its at HD so I can turn it on and listen.
HERE IS MY RECOMMENDATION: Hear ye hear ye as me climbs on me stump! I use hell out of the net to buy most everything, HOWEVER; you know those little exceptions that nag on you. This is one of them for me. I would seriously recommend buying your fan locally. That way you can listen to it run and / or easily return it. There is not much of a saving on buying these guys on line anyway and I have yet to be able to visually judge any from looking at them. Its been my experience that the cheapies were more quiet than name brands. There, speech over; get out those rotten cabbages and let em fly, I can take it!

They work really well, I noticed a 10 degree difference in my kitchen.

I have a long hallway between my kitchen and the room where my stove is.

I have them on the floor between the fridge and the wall, blowing the cold air down the hallway towards the stove.

Northline ships really fast too. I had mine 2 days after I ordered.

The "through the wall" fan look pretty nice too, I'm just don't feel like cutting through my walls.

 

[pelletizer]

Fans have been ordered :coolsmile: picked up an ash bucket too,

I had two of those Entreeair fans a few years ago and they were to loud :ahhh: so they went down the road.

I never found the thread with the $24.95 fan though.

Teamorange,

Where on your wall did you mount it? I would guess higher is better.

 

[kt1i]

Here's one that I built from assorted parts. It's a bit louder than I hoped for but seems to work well. Cost around $15.

For those of you using door fans, which way are you directing the air? Cold air towards stove or warm air towards the room where the fan is located? I have been experimenting with a fan on the floor and found that it works best moving the cold air towards the stove.

 

[save$]

I have one of the fan types in the top of the doorway pushing air away from the stove and a tower fan in the bottom of the doorway blowing cool air toward the stove. This is in a door way that opens to the foyer between the lower and upper levels of a split foyer home. As for the noise, sounds like fans! A little hard to hear my wife when she calling something out from upstairs. A sacrifice for keeping warm. So far upstairs runs about 74 or better most of the time.

Yeah Tree, that looks like a nice unit...is it quiet?

Very. I had a door corner fan, it was pretty loud on hi. This thing blows it away in power and quietness

Someone told me they are quieter if you take off the guard?

Always push the cold air towards the stove, you create a convection current in your house that way. You don't need a high CFM fan to do it either.

 

[pelletizer]

What about ceiling fans should the air be directed down to the floor or up to the ceiling which I hear would push the air down the walls to the floor?

 

[imacman]

I have 2 ceiling fans in the great room where the stove is. I have the one near the stove set to blow the air up, and the other fan at the other end of the room set to blow it back down toward the little fan on the floor, that then blows it down a hallway toward the back of the house and the MBR.

Now, how's that for simple? LOL

It must work, cause the great room can be 72, and the rear of the house will be 69 with the oil burner turned off.

 

[teamorange]

I have not installed the through the wall unit yet. I am thinking about installing 2 of them in different rooms. Honestly haven't thought about if I am going to install them high or low yet. Will depend on which room I am wanting to heat. I have one spot where I think the hot air is getting stuck in the ceiling corner so that will be one spot to install it and will install it maybe 4-5 inches from the ceiling... The other one might go lower to kinda create the circulation of air.
