Ok, so I'm wondering if any forum member has a fireplace with a blower. I'm wondering how effective these blowers are and whether they are worth adding to my Superior Direct Vent gas fireplace.

Everytime I shop for a blower kit whether locally or online, I baulk at the price ($250-$300). You could almost get a new fireplace for that. Then you wonder when you would ever get the return of your investment in heat recovery for the price you pay. Also, I'm wondering if they are noisy.

I've never had a blower put in a fireplace. But I'm really interested in doing it. Any input would be appreciated.
