FK24 Fireplace Blower kit for Majestic, Martin, Northern Flame, Temco, Vermont Castings, CFM, Rotom HB-RB65 | Ball Bearing, Quiet, High Air Flow

Great product, would buy again. Installed in about 5-10 minutes into the already existing support areas in the fireplace. No electrical knowledge is needed for install, and is secured with 4 wing nuts that screw on to the already existing screws that are installed from the factory. Very effective and dispersing heat, even at low speeds. The temp sensor, which is magnetically attached to the fire box bottom, triggers at 120 degrees F and shuts off at 90 degrees F, so it is pretty automatic. I do have to say that it takes some time for the fire place housing where the sensor sits to reach 120 degrees, but actually that's a good thing- would rather have warm air blow instead of cold air. Motor runs quiet at low speeds, but is a little louder at high speed, but not unreasonably, and within acceptable tolerances. I would buy this blower again, however, I think the price is a little too high. I would like to see the product sell for around 60-80 dollars, instead of the ~ $120 is sells for on Amazon. It should also be noted that this is an after-market blower, not the Majestic blower from the factory, but I don't think that there is or will be a difference.

Pre wired, very easy to install. The quality of this assembly is far superior to others you find on line. While the cost is much higher than the low cost versions, it is still half the cost of the OEM and you have a reliable product that will last. Two comments - if it is not working at first, check the dial - it comes turned off - a small click turning the dial to the right puts the fan in the highest speed. Second, if you find you need to move the magnetic temperature sensor that is attached to a hotter location on the fire box - prior to moving it, you should first unplug the assembly from the outlet. The terminals are insulated, but you can still get a shock (ask me how I know). Last note - the dimensions are for the fan - the mounting plate is larger then what is shown. Overall - very well packaged, excellent product and perfect fit. Worth the additional cost.

Plug and play model for Majestic Gas Fireplace. Very happy with this product! Great video explaining all of the parts and how it works. Easy installation!

This is a good product. It was pretty easy to install, even with my big hands--though it took me longer than the some others who have reviewed have said. Still, almost anyone could do the job: your job is to attach it and the thermostat to already existing screws (they are part of the original unit), via a total of four supplied wingnuts. The heat-sensor is magnetic and adheres strongly to the bottom of the firebox. And you plug it in. That's it. It works well, improving the heat output of my gas fireplace insert dramatically. And, last point -- it is quieter than I had expected, much quieter at the highest setting than the blower in a previous fireplace I had.

I am a 53 year old woman who gets great satisfaction out of learning things that were traditionally left to the men. This is one of those examples of a job that a woman may fear. Fear not! There are only two wires to connect and it is rather intuitive to see where they go but the instructions show you. Be sure your power is off although I tried to power down at my breaker box and couldn't find the one to the fireplace switch so I did it anyway. The switch was off, of course.) Cleaning the area under the fireplace box before you start is helpful too. Here's what you need to know to make this work for you:1. take a picture of your fireplace model and serial number2. go to a local fireplace store where they also sell parts and service3. obtain the make/model number of the blower that is suitable for your fireplace. (you may also do this online with a Google search but I wanted to talk to the pros to be sure.)4. Get pricing from the store (this blower was around $350 through the store I went to and installation was another $150 to $200 on top of that)5. Be sure you have an outlet behind the vented lower door where you find your pilot light nob, etc.6. Look for screws sticking out of the back of the bottom of the fireplace area where the blower will be installed.These are your mounting screws that you put the blower on and use the wingnuts to attach it.7. Plug a lamp, space heater or hairdryer into the outlet to test it for electricity. If it does not turn on, stop here because you need to hire an electrician before you can proceed. If your small appliance turns on, proceed to next steps.8. look for the blower with the model number on Amazon. Compare reviews and pricesI purchased this blower for my Majestic brand fireplace. The blower arrived in the mail nicely packaged.9. I went to youtube to search for this model blower installation videos and found a few. This model does NOT have adhesive velcro on it. You can buy it at the Dollar Tree for a buck if you really want some. With the wing nuts you really don't need it unless there are no mounting screws already protruding from the back of the unit. The youtube videos I found did not address mounting the blower on the screws with the wing nuts for some reason. In my opinion, wing nut mounting would be preferred so that you don't inadvertently get the sticky velcro strips stuck in the wrong position.10. Mount the fan in the position as shown in the videos.11. Mount the dial on the protruding screws on the bottom of your unit. Plug the wires into the blower motor.12. Plug the dial into the outlet.13. Position the magnet and sensor on the ceiling of the floor of the fireplace centered.14. Turn the dial on and turn it up.15. Turn on your fireplace.16. Depending on the position of the sensor, the fan will kick on in about 10-17 minutes. If it is on low you may not hear it but you can feel the heat coming out the top. You can shine a flashlight on it to see it spinning if you are not sure. Adjust the dial so that the noise from the blower is at a level that is tolerable to you for your use. The highest speed is a bit annoying especially if you watch tv in the room where the fireplace is located.This whole process took about 45 minutes or so including watching youtube. The install itself was about 20 minutes. The hardest part was how tight everything is under there. Getting the wing nut on behind the pilot knob and mechanisms was a pain and my neck and back were slightly sore when I was done. I had a manicure the day before (shellac) and you wouldn't know I was doing this type of work when I was done. So, horray to all the women who don't shy away from these things. You can do it! And, this saved me about $350+ doing it myself. :) The only reason I gave the overall rating 4 stars was because they had no video on the product page and because the printed instructions could include more details about the wing nut mounting, etc. But otherwise, a great addition to your fireplace to add heat to your home and reduce your heating bill. Good luck!

I have lived in my home for 5 years and decided it was time to look into getting a blower installed in my gas fireplace. After watching a YouTube video on DIY I decided to tackle this myself. I went with this company due to the higher quality of the fan mechanism. It installed very easily. The fan will only come on once the temperature reaches a certain heat and will remain on even after turning off your gas to your fireplace to utilize the remaining heat if you so choose. It has a rheostat so you can determine the amount of air you are circulating.I was disappointed to hear a rattle in the fan when it was on "high" so I contacted the company via their email. Their response was quick and they immediately mailed out a whole new unit and did not require me to return the defective unit stating they did not want to cause any inconvienece. The new unit worked perfectly and I'm totally enjoying getting added value out of my fireplace. Makes me wonder why I didn't do this years ago.
