Wood-burning fireplaces
The 1038 / 1043 models originally used a dual axial fan kit called the 160-FAK or a similar style unit. These fan kits have all been discontinued. You can try replacing the fans themselves with aftermarket models, but you'll likely need to retain the original housing and mounting brackets. If you have enough clearance below the fireplace to fit a more conventional blower, we can sometimes make recommendations based on the space you have available. Call us directly and we'll be happy to discuss your options.
Wood-burning fireplaces
The BC / BCI Series wood fireplaces use either the FBK-100, FBK-200 or FBK-250 blower kit. Space is tight at the rear wall opening where the blower is installed. Flush mounted floor tabs will mark where the blower should be positioned. Please note that removal of the interior brick paneling is often times necessary to access the floor panel, which makes it easier to install the blower.

BCF models used the now discontinued FAK-1500 and FAK-3000 fan kits, which were cartridge style axial fan kits that installed on the floor of the insert. We can often times make recommendations for retro fitting a more conventional blower, but adequate space is required. Please reach out to us directly for additional information and we'll be happy to help.

Unvented decorative gas fireplaces
Contact us directly for more information on fitting a fan or blower kit into these fireplaces. Space is typically a concern, so we'll need some measurements before we can definitively tell you we can make something work. Additionally, the fireplace can't have a clean face or solid panel design. The fireplace must have louvered or vented panels to allow for air circulation.

Need help finding the correct blower or fan kit for your fireplace? Let our experts help you track down the correct replacement blower, fan kit or part for your application. We typically only need the fireplace or stove's make and model to determine exactly what you need. This information can usually be found on gas fireplaces by removing the lower access panel and finding your fireplace's name tag or identificaton card. Wood inserts will often times have the same identificaton card, while freestanding stoves and others might have this information printed on a rear panel or door.
Once you've located your fireplace's brand and model information, simply use the Find Your Blower tool above, or the Help Find My Blower at the top of the page.

GFK-160 Blower Kit
We've had this fireplace for nearly 4 years without a blower. Finally pulled the trigger and purchased over the phone with Jason. Not only did we receive incredible service, but this blower is absolutely amazing and does exactly what they claim it does in their videos. Thank you!!
GZ550 Blower Kit
Dealer wanted 3 times the price, so I picked this up from FireplaceBlowersOnline based on the videos and reviews I had read. Perfect! It's well-made, there's attention to detail and suprisingly effective despite the blower's relatively small size.
Avalon & Lopi Front Mount Replacement Blower
I purchased an old Lopi Freedom stove from a local estate sale and came with the original blower. Blowers were horribly loud and when I removed them, discovered the plastic wheels were badly warped and one would no longer even spin. Swapped them out with these and couldn't be happier. Ball bearings and metal wheels are a nice addition to them being quiet!
FBK-250 Blower Kit
I think it goes without saying that personalized service is becoming a rare commodity these days. But not with this team! My fireplace requires some unique installation steps, which the FireplaceBlowersOnline team was happy to help with. Jason answered my email over the weekend and called me personally the following Monday to confirm I was able to install it myself. Customer for life, thanks guys!
