We have a wood-burning fireplace in our living room and would like to find out if it is possible to add a blower system without having to invest in a fireplace insert. The fireplace is roughly 40”x 32” x 20”. It has its own flue. Would your Napoleon Fireplace Central Heating Blower - For NZ-26 and NZ-26WI Wood Burning Fireplaces would be a possibility?

Answer:
While we do carry something that would work for your fireplace, it may not be ideal. Please see it below:
Grate Heater.
This unit will increase the efficiency of your fireplace, but please note that this is the largest one we offer and it is only 24 inches wide and it is 20 inches deep. Thus, it may appear a bit short for your width and you would need to make sure that 20 inches would indeed fit for the depth. The Napoleon blower you listed is only for use with the NZ-26 and NZ-26WI manufactured fireplaces. We apologize for this inconvenience.

We have a wood-burning fireplace that is missing the piece that blows the heat back into the room. I believe these are the pieces we are missing: a blower and fan. Our fireplace is no specific brand, it is simply a stone fireplace. I need to know what we need, please.

I have a Temco TLC-42 Do you have a blower fan for it? Do you sell a chimney kit for this?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on March 18, 2013
Answer:
The original Temco fan is no longer available, however the
Majestic FK12 Fireplace Fan Kit is a direct replacement for this unit. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to obtain the Temco chimney line, as our last supplier of their chimney no longer carries these items.

Our wood fireplace backs up smoke into the house. Would a fan or blower help draft the smoke up the chimney?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on March 4, 2013
Answer:
Unfortunately, no. A blower is only helpful in circulating warmth from the fireplace into the room and can actually cause the drafting issue to become worse in some cases.
Smoke back drafting is usually related to either a disproportionate chimney to fireplace opening or draft pressure issues, which can be wind related or caused by fans or furnaces inside the house. By Joe Harper from Houston, Texas on November 11, 2012
I have a 21" x 42" Fireplace opening (gas) with no screen or doors. I would like to add glass doors with some kind of blower system. What do I need? Can I purchase something for the existing unit, or do I have to replace the whole box?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 12, 2012
Answer:
The correct door and blower assembly for your needs will depend entirely on the manufacturer and model number of the unit. The unit should have a build plate, either within the firebox itself or beneath the fireplace floor. The plate will contain the a fore mentioned information.

Looking for twin blower fan for RSF fireplace FO-fdhb5-n or something can replace it 4x4x25",200cfm. Have something?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on February 11, 2013
Answer:
We do carry several twin blower fireplace fans, but they are of a lower CFM output and have a larger housing size than you require. From what I have seen, RSF fireplaces use a uniquely designed fan assembly that is slimmer than most. As such, I highly recommend replacing the blower with the original model for best performance.

I have a built in wood burning fireplace. It is surrounded by brick and its opening is 35" wide X 19" tall X 20" deep. We are not getting a lot of heat into the room that we are trying to heat.
I was going to look at getting a gas insert with a blower, but was wondering if an electric blower would work for my wood burning fireplace without buying an insert.

Answer:
It may indeed be possible to install a blower into the existing fireplace. Does the fireplace have louvers (vents) built into the top and bottom of the face? If so, it will be configured to install a blower. By Phil sempier from Somerset, NJ on November 28, 2012
I would like to install a blower in my Majestic 500DVBNSC7 fireplace. After looking underneath the fireplace, I noticed there is a metal piece in the middle where the blower would go. I removed the flange and there is a metal bar running horizontally. I don't know if the blower would be able to fit against the back wall of the box.
Also, I took off the top grate of the fireplace and there is only about a 1/2 inch by 12 inch opening to let heat blow through in the center. On the other hand, there is room and a wider opening on each side of the the obstruction in the middle. The question is, am I suppose to install one blower in the middle or two blowers, one on each side of the middle obstruction?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 28, 2012
Answer:
After checking the specifications for this unit, there is indeed supposed to be a single blower installed into the center back of the unit. Some of the Monessen/Majestic models use a dual blower setup, but this unit is not designed to use that system. The blower would be mounted at the back of the compartment facing up.
While I cannot speak to the efficiency of air movement, I am certain that nothing should be removed in order to use the blower.By Ed from Howell, MI on May 1, 2013

I have a Majestic fireplace model G336N and would like to install a blower/fan to move the heat more efficiently. Which product do you recommend?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 26, 2012
Answer:
The original GFK blower assembly this unit used has now been discontinued. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not offer an equivalent model that you can retrofit in place of the original unit, as it was a unique, duel blower design that required very little space for mounting. By Gregg from Massachusetts on November 4, 2012
I would like to buy a fireplace blower/fan kit to install on my fireplace but I do not know which one will fit my unit. I have a Vanguard Aristocrat Model V36E Wood Burning Firebox. Do you sell a blower kit that will fit this unit? I have the installation manual from the fireplace, which was installed in 1998 when our house was built.
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 5, 2012
Answer:
According to the literature for this unit, this appears to be a smooth faced model fireplace and does not have provisions for a blower. In order to utilize a fan, the unit would need to have been constructed with louvers (vents) installed into the face.By Phil from Somerset, New Jersey on May 9, 2013
What blower do I need for my Majestic 500DVBNSC7, serial Number 11-P-021152 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace?

We have a Monessen BUF500 ventless fireplace and we want to get a blower with a thermostat control. We are not sure why the fireplace is not working but we turned the pilot light out for the summer and now we can not get it to light. It just turned 5 years old but we have not used it for two years.
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on January 2, 2013
Answer:
The BUF500 vent-free firebox uses the
Monessen FA2A Forced Air Firebox Blower. As for your pilot issue, this issue is commonly caused by a dirty or partially clogged pilot assembly. In order to clean the pilot, the nut that is threaded to the end of the pilot tube needs to be loosened and disconnected from the pilot assembly. The tube can then be cleaned out with compressed air and the nut re-tightened. Please be sure to spray the compressed air in the direction of the gas flow.
