Fireplace Blowers & Fans Buyer's Guide
Adding a fireplace to your home is a great way to generate some extra warmth. Just don't be surprised if you need a fireplace fan or some other type of air distributor to help circulate the heat coming from your unit. Far too often marketers paint romanticized depictions of fireplaces. They want us to imagine being on some fancy spa-like retreat as we envision ourselves drinking coffee next to a soft hue of flickering flames.
However, this fantasy view of fireplaces fails miserably to demonstrate the practical needs of fireplaces in colder regions. For example, imagine how it feels to live in an area with bitterly cold winters. You probably don't want to depend on a fireplace that produces radiant heat spanning barely two feet in front of it, right? When based in reality, the need for efficient heating is much more apparent.
