Important: look at the picture in the reviews here for how the wiring harness is supposed to look when all put together. The included instructions are a little unclear, but it makes complete sense when you study the picture. Very happy with this fan, it's as quiet as you would expect it to be. There seems to be a lot of different screw holes and 3M tape to attach it for your application (I used it on my wood stove/fire place insert.) The speed control is awesome, temperature sensor works well, everything is high quality.

I was able to self-install this unit into my fireplace. The installation manual states its relevance to contractor installers and does need a bit of help to be more consumer-ready. However, with a bit of thinking and logic, makes the installation effort quite simple. The sweet spot for noise levels for me is between 1/2 and 3/4 way point on the fan speed knob. Yet, the room was markedly warmer than I'd ever experienced before in minutes after the fan turned on based upon fireplace temperature.I'd recommend this unit if you're willing to look past a clear, consumer-ready manual

Just installed and seems to work great. Here is my experience as a first timer facing installation. I wired it up according to one Amazon review with a photo and the title "Fireplace fan," but I noticed they had reversed polarity by connecting black to white and white to black, which is a fire and electric shock risk. I checked the instructions and sure enough black (L/Live) goes to black, and white (N/neutral) goes to white. Strangely, no one tells you that the long rectangular side of the fan is where air blows out and should point upward. After 2-3 youtube videos I figured out this will be fairly simple. The instructions call to adhere three velcro strips to the fan body, but there are only two velcro strip pairs, plus 2 long double-sided thick tape pads and two short tape pads. I improvised by putting the two velcro strips on the bottom of the fan, then peeled the protective tape off and placed the fan. Since the fan is round, it was unstable. I removed the fan and adhered two long tape pads to the back and adhered the fan at its back and bottom. I noticed one velcro pad would not adhere to the box surface after repositioning, but it didn't seem to matter. I used one small tape pad on the back of the fan speed switch to secure it to the side of the box, leaving one extra short taoe pad. Once I double-checked all my wiring and that I had power at the outlet, I started the fire and let it burn for a while. The fan didn't turn on. I tested for current with an electric sniffer and everything was as it should be. It crossed my mind that maybe I had a faulty temp sensor. I turned the fire off and checked the upper surface below the firebox with an infrared camera I had sitting around. Turned out the sensor was 85F but there was a recessed area above the igniter that was 105F. This product's description says the sensor switch turns on the fan at 120F. So I relocated the sensor and turned the fire on, and the fan started up in just a few minutes. Apparently relocating the sensor is a normal part of installation. I put my hand to the fireplace's upper vent to feel the air current strength as I adjusted the switch. It was not like putting my hand directly up to a large fan, but instead was subtle. I would guess it took a little over ten minutes to shut off after use. The instructions also call for a fan heat shield when used with a type B flue. If my fireplace ever cane with a fan heat shield, I did not have it and my fireplace manufacturer did not know what I was talking about when I asked them about a replacement part. So I asked my fireplace inspector who unofficially informed me it likely doesn't matter at all, and would not fail an inspection without one.

The fan works well and the install is not too difficult but it is a tight fit getting it past the intake grid and the internal gas lines to the burner below the fire box. If you never put one of these in before I would suggest laying the components out on the floor and hook up the wiring harness and make sure that all of the components are there and you understand how the harness connects. You can then leave the rest of the harness connected and just disconnect it from the fan until the fan is in position because it would be quite difficult to get the fan in there with the wires connected to it. Once installed, I would light up the fire place and feel for a hot spot prior to placing the heat sensor and put it where it seems the warmest. The fan has a speed control and at full speed, it quite loud so you probably don't want to leave it at full speed. I would leave the cover off during initial testing and after the fan starts set the speed to a comfortable noise level. I found that at 3/4 speed, while you can still hear it, it was not all that loud and put out more than enough heat so it works. The factory blower was a few hundred so it was a good deal as well.

I assembled it on a workbench prior to installation. It took only 10 mins to put in and test out. Works great. About 3/4 turn of the knob and its super quiet and still blows well. At full speed, it moves a lot of air but is a little too much noise for me. Follow the directions. Push the connectors on tight. Make sure you unplug when your hand is the tight spaces as you can get a shock on exposed terminals. VERY EASY to install and works great. I installed it in an older Heatilator Novus model. It uses so little power, that I have this as a backup plan in the event of a power failure- I can run the blower off a battery and inverter and get some decent heat in an emergency. On a regular basis it improves the amount of heat that comes into the room.
