If you're in the market for fireplace insert blowers and fans, Empire has you covered! The FBB-5 Single-Speed Blower for Breckenridge Fireboxes improves the efficiency of your vent-free Empire firebox, taking your room from tepid to toasty without impacting gas fuel consumption.

I recently purchased this item and connected it to my Vail36 but it seems so loud.  Can it be turned on selectively?  Or disconnected but left in place?

Empire FBB5 Automatic Single-Speed Blower

The product is very easy to install (it simply has magnets on the bottom and back panels) so it is just placed in the firebox. It has plenty of air power to circulate the warm air up the back of the firebox and out the top vent. My only complaint is the power cord is not very long - only about 1 foot long. I had to order a 1' extension cord to reach the outlet in the firebox.

Pros

Easy to install, plenty of air circulation

Cons

Power cord is too short

Service Supreme

This is the absolute best company to buy from...internet or in-town. There is no dealing with or working with as you just go online, pick out your item, click and purchase and by the time you can shut the computer down, the delivery guy is knocking on your door. Honestly, it is amazing. I would recommend you to all my friends.

Pros

Everything

Cons

nothing
