How to Choose the Right Blower for Your Fireplace Insert

A fireplace insert blower can be an important component to consider when purchasing a new one. A blower is an accessory that speeds up the process of heating your home with your fireplace insert. It blows heated air into your home, though it does not extend the heating area of the fireplace insert. So, what options exist when it comes to fireplace insert blowers? Let's break down your options to give you a better idea of what you want.


  • Included: A blower is considered included with a fireplace insert if it is included in the purchase. It may or may not already be installed in the insert's box.



  • Available: If a fireplace insert has an available blower, the blower is not included in the purchase of the insert. Instead, there will generally be an optional configuration on the fireplace insert's product page to add the blower to your purchase. If you can't find it, our NFI-certified technicians may be able to assist you.


Blowers are a vital upgrade to your fireplace insert, and you should know if you have one available or if one will come with your new insert. Now that you know about the options available, you can select the correct fireplace insert.
