A project I have been considering for a long time now is to mechanically take heated air from the balcony space above my wood stove and move it to my new addition in the back of the house. I have access for ductwork and have can get a nice straight shot from my second floor balcony ceiling to high up on the wall in my new addition, the whole length of duct would only need to be about 14'.
I've tried fans and they just don't do it for me! I'm looking at a 6 or 8" round duct fan like this:

The fan can be controlled by a cool device I just found online which is basically a pair of 110v outlets that plug into a standard outlet and switch power on or off depending on room temp. The one I was looking at comes on at 78 and turns off at 70.
Now for the question. What will a fan pushing 250 CFM running continuously do for a space that is approximatly 250sf and typically the temprature in said room won't fall below 55 unless someone leaves the outside door open? Note; the space in question does have a cathedral ceiling.
What if I were to add to this system an air filter just behind the inlet grille, would the small volume of air be an affective filter?
