We have a nice gas fireplace in our living room. However, it doesn't produce heat! Only if you're standing right in front of it, can you feel some heat coming off of it. This is because the builder cheaped out and didn't install a fan. All the heat just went out the back and not into the room. Boo to them!
When we went home in March, Carl found us a fan! This will be great for the winter! Now we can actually use the fireplace and stay warm! No more space heaters for me :)
Well... Dustin finally installed it this weekend. I know what you're thinking: what took him so long??? Now give him credit- I've kept him VERY busy doing other projects around the house before the little one came along, so he has an excuse. His "honey-do" list was very long and he's done a great job crossing things off the list every weekend.
The fan is fantastic because it has a built in temperature switch that turns the fan on and off. This is great because we didn't have to run more wire to create a switch. And after you turn the fireplace off, the fan keeps running until it's cooled off, so it doesn't waste any heat! Awesome! And even better, it was really simple to install! Now we just have to turn on the fireplace and the room heats up! Hooray!!! Good job gramps!!!
