When you think of a fireplace, you may picture a hole in the wall with a flue above the opening so that the smoke can be vented out of the room. A glass door or a screen may be added to the front of some fireplaces to create the illusion of a closed fireplace. The two basic types of fireplaces are masonry and factory-built.
Unlike a conventional fireplace, a fireplace blower system consists of a fan that blows air, and a blower refers to merely the fan. The blower is hooked into the system by a professional 1800 Chimney expert to make the installation go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
All blowers have the same basic concept but vary on how they fit into your traditional masonry or fireplace insert. The blower draws fresh air from your home. It is cycled through a series of chambers in your fireplace and is thus heated. The warm air is blown out into your home. It’s a very simple concept but is up to 500x more efficient. You will save on heating bills and burn less wood in your fireplace. Air isn’t very dense so its heats up quickly.
There are many benefits to purchasing a fireplace blower:
By using a fireplace blower, you will be able to bring heat into your home that would otherwise be lost through the chimney. Blowers are simple devices that circulate air within the firebox so that smoke will not escape into the room when the air is blown out. You can get them to work with both masonry fireplaces as well as wood and gas fireplaces as well as fireplace inserts for the fireplace.

If you are looking for a good price and professional service then look no further. Paulie, the service technician is a rock star when it comes to chimneys, he sucessfully restored my 100 year old fireplace 2 years ago and did it for a super affordable price explaining everything to me along the way. I can now enjoy my fireplace like I always wanted. Highly recommended.
