I converted my woodburning fireplace to Natural Gas (Peterson Log System). My problem is that there is no heat coming into the home now. Is there a blower kit I can add to a fireplace to bring in some of the heat? -- Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
 
Vented gas logs are decorative appliances. If you wanted heat I am sorry to say you wasted your money.

If the old fireplace is a metal prefabricated fireplace you might be able to add a blower to it, but I would not waste any more money because it will not have much of a benefit.
 
What jtp10181 said. You essentially have a gas burning campfire in
your living room. or family room or what ever room.
IT HAS NO HEAT CAPABILITIES...
If you add a blower, you're gonna blow the nasty by-products of combustion
- INCLUDING CO - all thru your house.
