from Hickory, NC asked:
February 5, 2020
My gas insert unit is a Lennox ED4035CNM and is a constant speed non-variable blower. Will this work as a replacement for mine?
1 Answer
While this blower would not work for your fireplace, this Superior Variable Speed Blower with Wall Switch - FBK-200 would be an option. However, please note that the On/Off switch wiring from the wall to the receptacle located inside the gas control cavity would need to be replaced with the variable speed control wiring and wall-mounted speed control switch. If this is going to be too challenging, you could also install the Superior Variable Speed Blower with Thermostatic Snap Switch - FBK-250 and simply leave the current On/Off switch in the On setting.

I have a DV33in33ln-4 with a variable speed blower that is becoming very noisy. Is there a replacement that is quieter?
1 Answer
Empire only offered one blower with that insert, and it is the one you have, which is included with it. If the fan was formerly not as noisy, it may need to be replaced.

I want to use this Vantage Hearth squirrel cage manual variable speed blower on an Empire Keystone Deluxe B-vent louvered gas fireplace 34". Although this blower listed above is operated by a manual control is it also thermally activated to turn on and off when the fireplace is started and turned off. Would this work for my fireplace?
1 Answer
This blower is not the listed blower for your Empire Keystone 34" model. You will need the Empire FBB-4 Variable-Speed Fireplace Blower with Temperature Switch - FBB-4.

Could this item provide heat independently or does the heat source solely come from the fireplace?
1 Answer
This fan is designed to circulate the heat produced by the fireplace while it is burning, but it does not have its own heating element. As such, it cannot provide supplemental heat on its own.

Steve
from Memphis, TN asked:
November 3, 2011
How does this install and work?
1 Answer
This blower will install in the bottom of Vantage Hearth fireplaces, beneath an access panel in the floor. The blower will draw cool air through the bottom louvers on the face of the fireplace, then circulate the air around the back of the unit and out the top louvers. The heat from the chassis of the unit allows the air to be warmed substantially. The blower control will have long enough wiring to mount the control on the face of the unit. It has a variable control knob that will activate the blower and control the speed. It functions much like a light dimmer.

Decent
Circulates the air fairly well. This fan is noisy. It makes an irritating droning noise that gets louder and higher in pitch with higher speeds. I never run this fan at higher than 50% speed because it becomes unbearably annoying at maximum speed. If I'm watching a movie, I won't even turn this fan on because it's distracting.Since it's a squirrel cage fan, I thought it would be silent.Regardless of how irritating the noise is, I still use the fan. I have a WCT series fireplace and with this fan, it gets my 600 sq ft living room HOT.
ProsFunctional. Good airflow.
ConsNoisy as all hell.

Problem Solved
The first one I received was damaged when I opened the box. I contacted these guys and another one was sent. I just had to provide pictures of the damaged item and there were no questions asked. Received the next one in good order put it in and it works great. Much better than the original 3 blade blower this replaced. Quieter and moves much more air.

Outdated instructions.
This blower could not be mounted through the louvers as depicted and required a number of calls to determine an alternate mouting location. The fan seems to operate well.
