Description
Our GFK4B Blower Fan Kit is designed for Heatilator and other fireplaces to circulate air around the firebox and enhance heat output. This complete fireplace blower kit offers a low cost solution to push heat created by the fireplace into your living space.
A speed control module with timer circuit is included with the blower kit which automatically turns the fan ON / OFF at preset times and is equipped with a Speed Button to provide a quiet airflow at the desired speeds. The timer circuit will delay fan operation; by automatically turning ON the fan 7 minutes after the main flame has been turned ON (After the fireplace has warmed up) and turning the fan OFF 12 minutes after the main flame has been turned OFF (After the fireplace has cooled down).

Happy with product
I'm happy with the blower and the heat it produces. The temperature in our living room increased by 8 degrees with the blower. Somewhat difficult installation due to the narrow space below, but written instructions were easy enough to follow. Website link to youtube video was for the wrong model, so I was unable to use it.

I've ordered lost of fans from this company. I work on and repair gas fireplaces. The parts are top quality and usually better that the ones I get from the manufacturer.

Really enjoying our fireplace now
I installed the blower kit, as well as a remote control. Everything works as advertised, and we're happy with it. We keep the blower on a low speed, and can hardly hear it, even when trying to! I had some questions, and I'm able to report that the customer service is exceptional, as well. This has made our Heatilator everything it should be.

Too early to see the complete picture.
Just had the blower installed yesterday. Had electrician put blower on its own switch. Had professional from gas company come and move a gas line, so blower would slide in. Blower isn't difficult at all to hook up but getting it installed with all the components underneath can be a little difficult. Had to undo gas line, After blower was set in place, gas line was hooked back up. I feel better and safe knowing I had professional installers working on the electric and gas. Blower is definitely doing its job, getting more heat into our home. I would recommend this blower to anyone, also utube was useful. Your customer service was outstanding.

Almost didn't fit
First, the wiring on the unit wasn't exactly like in instructions in the box and on-line, but I figured it out. The biggest problem was the fan and motor wouldn't fit in the opening in front of my FP. With a lot of pushing, and flexing of the sheetmetal on my FP, I finally got it in. Once in place I had to hook up the wires. Couldn't do it beforehand because of the problem getting it in place. Finally got it in place, wired-up and running. The fan motor runs, but not smoothly. I hope it doesn't quit, because it will be impossible to get it back out! The total installation job was approx. 2 hours.

Works OK but No Grounding Lug or Screw
Generally good construction and seems to work OK. However, my instruction book said to attach the green wire to the grounding screw. There was no screw. The online instructions said to attach the green wire spade connector (which mine had) to the grounding lug. There was no lug. I ended up attaching my own green grounding screw and all went well from there. Motor is slightly louder than I would have liked, but not too bad. ------------------------------------------------------------- MyFireplaceBlower Response: The "Green" Wire has a female disconnect on the end of it which slides onto a ground tab which is affixed to the blower.

It just works! Installation took only a few minutes
This blower works. It took only 10 minutes to install, after watching a YouTube video of the installation. I didn't need the enclosed instructions after watching the video. The enclosed jumper cable to engage the power for the blower on my panel is nice. The blower starts up after getting to temperature and stays on for a few minutes after shutting off the flames until it cools down. Recommended.

Great value fireplace blower
The product was exactly as advertised. It appears to be made with a high degree of quality. Installation was very. The installation took less than 10 minutes to complete. The unit worked fine upon initial start up however it's summer here in Phoenix so it hasn't gotten much use. Would recommend this product and the seller.
