OK, stop! This is the blower you should buy if it’s compatible with your fireplace.
I love this blower! Of course, it’s more than just a blower, it comes with a programmable controller. The quality of the unit is excellent, from the electronic control module, the cables, the blower assembly, and the blower frame assembly. Though I do not know where it was assembled, this unit does not feel like a cheap Chinese import. The motor is a PWM, DC motor, and only consumes 12W of electricity on the high setting (200 CFM). I did a quick search of Amazon for similar fans with AC motors and found they consume anywhere from 35W (130 CFM ), 45W (160 CFM), and 75W (200 CFM). So this unit truly is a power saver compared to the AC motor units. When setting it up, I was confused initially because I tried to do it before I read the manual. I was frustrated that it didn’t have a separate on off button, and I had to cycle through five or six steps in the menu to get to the on/off setting. Then I read the manual. The unit has several auto settings, I used the “Auto – High Temp” setting, and accepted the default of 90°F. Using this setting, whenever the controller detects the fireplace temperature probe is at 90° or above, it automatically turns the fan on to a setting of 1 through 10, 10 being the default which I excepted. It truly is set and forget, I don’t foresee ever needing the on off button other than for troubleshooting. I did not install this blower on any of the intended gas fireplace inserts. I was looking for a blower motor for my older wood burning stove. I do not recommend that anybody do this, modifying a wood burning fireplace or stove is dangerous, and you can burn your house down, or poison yourself and your family with CO2 emissions. This information is for educational purposes only. My stove is an older Earth Stove T150, and has a 14.5 inch cut out at at the bottom of the rear heat shield for a blower kit. This 14 inch blower fit nicely in this slot, and I mounted it with a very easy modification using two small, but sturdy L brackets, and self tapping metal screws, the unit was mounted in less than 15 minutes. I mounted the controller, set up the auto setting on the controller, mounted the temp sensor, lit a fire, and this blower is amazing. It is extremely quiet on the mid to lower settings. You can hear it on the higher settings, but it is not intrusive in my opinion. In fact, I like to know that my blower humming along, so I like that aspect.PS – I mounted the temp sensor in the space between the rear heat shield, and the iron stove, above the fan, offset to the right, through one of the pre-drilled holes in the sheet metal. I left the temp probe hanging in the air, not touching any metal parts.

Excellent design and quality
I purchased the Airblaze S14. Excellent design and quality and a very good value for the $. Very pleased with the blower airflow, and it’s a quiet as it could possibly be. The remote is also very compact and classy design. It does have a “memory”; if you set it to - say - 50%, then you can turn it off by first pressing the button (to “wake up” the remote) and then press & hold the button for several seconds, it will then turn off. A single button press will wake it up again and will ramp up to 50% (or it’s last setting). Fully equipped with mounting screws/bolts, cable ties and a nice pack of quality 3M Velcro pads. Five stars for sure!!Follow-up comments after using for 4 or 5 months: Continues to work great, BUT I find that the remote quickly drains the AAA batteries when not in use. We only use the blower on weekends. At first I thought maybe it was just a bad set of alkaline batteries, but this has happened several times now. The simple solution is to remove the batteries when not in use. It’s a minor inconvenience, but I just thought the manufacturer and prospective purchasers should know about this design fault.

EXCELLENT fan; DO buy; quiet; had to drill some holes--here are photos of my install, & instructions
The Airblaze T14 14" fan kit installed very well in my 15-year old Majestic 36BDVTRN gas fireplace in my condo.-1 star because the supposedly 14" mounting bracket holes are actually **too wide** (they are a mm or two > 14"), so I had to drill on the inner side of the left hole (see my photos) to bring the mounting holes inwards to 14" so they could mount on the pre-installed bolt posts in the bottom of my Majestic 36BDVTRN fireplace.Airblaze, please fix this! Cut your slots wider, towards the inside, to fit 13.75" to 14.25" wide mounting posts.The included nuts didn't fit those bolt posts in my Majestic either, so I supplied my own #10-24 threaded nuts, and split lock washers for the mounting, which I tightened gently with a 3/8" socket (meaning: the nut diameter is 3/8", not the attachment part) on the end of a large screwdriver.As you can see in the photos, I drilled a few extra holes and mounted the control box to the inside of my fireplace panel, using one of the included screws, and a bunch of my own zip ties to hold things together. I had to drill an extra hole in the control box for mounting. The metal is hard, so use good cobalt drill bits and drill on a slow speed while pressing firmly, with the part resting on a block of wood.The temperature sensor took me several tries to find a good spot that allowed the unit to work properly with the fan in "auto" mode. As shown in the photos, I ended up mounting the temperature sensor to the bottom of the fireplace by sticking under a spring plate attached to the bottom of the fireplace. That seems to be the perfect spot.Here are my Auto settings:High Temp: 95 FLow Temp: OffHigh humidity: OffLow humidity: OffAlarm settingsHigh Temp: 120 FLow temp: OffHigh humidity: 90%Low humidity: Off"On" fan setting: speed 7 out of 10.The above settings mean that once the bottom metal panel of the fireplace gets to 95F, the unit slowly turns the fan on to a setting of 7 out of 10. If the temp of the bottom panel of the fireplace reaches 120F, it will go into "alarm" mode, turning on the fan to speed 10 out of 10 and beeping every once in a while. Also, if the humidity in the house ever reached 90% somehow, it would turn that fan on to full speed too. I live in CA so that should never happen.USAGE AND BEHAVIOR:With our house at 65F~72F and the pilot light on continually, the bottom of the fireplace stays around 74~82F or so continually (depending on room temperature). Once we turn on the fireplace, the bottom panel reaches 95F in about 12 minutes, at which point the fan turns on automatically. After 1+ hrs, the temperature on th bottom of the fireplace stabilizes around 114~116 F, staying below the 120 F alarm setting I set, which is exactly what I want. Works perfectly!The fan is automatic now. It's wonderful. And, the control panel is neatly tucked away under the fireplace, as shown in the photos. So, I just turn on the fireplace like normal and ~12 minutes later the fan turns on, ramping up to speed 7 in a minute or two. When I'm done, I turn off the fireplace and about 15 to 20 minutes later the temp drops below 95F and the fan turns off automatically. That's it! No having to manually control the fan! I just use the fireplace switch, like normal, and that's it!
