Very pleased with this Ecofan 812 really helps with distributing heat around the room from the log burner, noticed a big difference, and good service from Grate Fireplaces.

The 175 CFM fan move a volume of warm air equivalent to a six foot cube every one and a quarter minutes. For optimum performance, placement on the stove's surface is critical to allow cooler air to be drawn over the cooling fins. We do not have a noise measurement for each Ecofan, as our noise meters are not sensitive enough to measure such low values. Placing the Ecofan in front of the chimney pipe will also cause the unit to overheat and could damage the motor, module or the wires connecting them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The Ecofan costs nothing to run as it only uses the heat from the stove which ensures it's the most economical way to circulate the warm air. Three vaned blades require more torque power (the force required to get a mass moving) to start their great mass and overcome the greater drag of their increased surface area.

A plug in fan will use 600 watts of power and cost you for electricity and needs a socket to plug in to with a cable near a 500 degrees metal stove top. If you have a wood burning stove with a soapstone surface, and it is not as hot as a traditional wood burning stove, then the 806 model may be the one that you require. If you feel like you are not getting the heat from your burner as expected or it doesn’t seem to quite reach your favourite armchair, our Stove Fans are the product to try. If you do use an Ecofan on your stove, the warm air will rise to the ceiling first and disperse the warm air from there.Designed to sit on top of your log burner and circulate warm air through your space instead of allowing it to rise to the ceiling so you can feel warmer, faster! The Caframo Ecofan 812 AirMax is a heat-powered fan designed to circulate the warm air created by a wood-stove operating with normal surface temperatures of between 85C and 345C. Genuine Ecofans are manufactured by Caframo in Wiarton, Ontario, and come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 2-4 years based on the model of Ecofan. We designed the new blades to complement this motor so that the counter-clockwise rotation still provides forward movement of air flow.

This graph shows the 806 BelAir to give the best performance at low temperatures while, of the woodstove fans, the best option is the 812 AirMax followed by the 810 UltrAir, then the basic 800 Original and then the basic 815 Original Mini.No cold spots in my large living room at all now and this little beauty started spinning within minutes of my fire being lit. On completion a Hetas certificate will be issued again this is needed for your home insurance, without this your insurance is invalid. Please be aware that stove fans need to sit at the back of the stove, to the side of the stove pipe.

The back of the fan must be exposed to cooler, room temperature air to draw across the fins of the heat sink to create the difference in temperature.

The Ecofan requires the heat from the stove top (within the recommended temperature ranges stated below, and we suggest using a stove top thermometer to ensure this), it also requires to be positioned on the stove top where it will receive enough cooler room temperature air to flow through the fins on the top of the Ecofan to prevent overheating. Increased Efficiency: Warm air is circulated directly into the living area rather than having most of the stove’s heat rise immediately to the ceiling, thereby increasing the heating efficiency of your stove. With the fan at the front of the stove which is not per recommended position it still whirrs round and distributes the heat well. It works straight from the box and it’s silent running motor can make proven fuel savings in the region of 18%. It has been our experience that without using the proper assembly jigs and tools the thermoelectric module can be improperly installed, resulting in damage to the module or pre-mature failure as a result of damage to the module during the installation process.
