I have a Vogelsang Norseman 2500 solid fuel furnace add on (Like the one I had on the farm when I was young!). The unit itself will work, been checked, new ducting, etc, but the blowers are shot, and new ones (if available, some sites advertise but nothing in stock etc) are over 300$ each.
Thus, I'm looking for safe and efficient--and hopefully affordable--substitutes. However, not being mechanically knowledgeable, I don't know how to shop for subs: what specifications to look for in blowers that will do well and not melt, reduce efficiency, or otherwise mess things up.
I understand that Vogelsang is out of business, but when I look at the info on their parts to do my "shopping," it doesn't give me anything that helps me look for safe substitutes. PS: It's okay if I have to change opening sizes, etc (I have someone who can safely do that), but otherwise I'm kinda stuck.
Thanks for any help--
