Product Information

The aim of a stove fan is to stop hot air from collecting around the wood stove, or from rising to the ceiling without benefitting the rest of the room. A stove fan will catch the heat before it has a chance to rise, and push it further out into the room. It will also improve circulation, better cycling warm air and cooler air throughout the space. In other words, a stove fan’s only purpose is to evenly distribute existing heat. Where Do You Put a Stove Fan? The VonHaus 4-Blade Stove Fan starts with its somehow rustic yet, at the same time, sleek profile, with smooth and polished fans but rough, sanded-looking base. We are not talking about anything that different from most stove fans but there's something about its finish, something understated, subtle, and attractive. What's also attractive about this unit is the increased size, measuring 22.5 (height) x 19 (length) x 9 (width) centimetres to make maximum impact. There is a thermoelectric panel in the middle. It has an opening at the top where cold air flows. When the heat from the stove meets the cool air, the temperature difference creates electricity.

Unlike most stove fans, the COMBIUBIU 6 Blade Stove Fan Heat Powered has six blades instead of the standard three or four. It’s efficient at circulating heat from a stove further into the room, with some users reporting an increase of 2 °C in room temperature when using it. We’ve been asked this question thousands of times through our online chat box or over the phone and, as there are very different settings of heating stoves, the answer isn’t simple. How big is your room? Is it an open plan room that you’d like to warm evenly? The CRSURE fan also boasts a sturdy build quality and durability, making it a reliable long-term investment. While the Netta fan offers energy efficiency, the CRSURE fan matches it in this aspect, reducing wood consumption from the stove. The main difference between a gas stove and a wood stove is that a gas stove has an automatic ignition.The downside to this type of stove fan is that they don’t produce very much power (air movement). What Is a Wood Stove Fan? Where it really helps though is that because the fan is not that tall, around 12.5cm, you only need 13cm clearance above the stove to use this fan. This compact model is perfect for those who have limited space above the stove, a significant advantage as many three and four-blade models are taller. This is really why I recommend this model in my review.

VonHaus is a well-regarded name in the home improvement field but they are certainly not experts in stove fans like Valiant are. Still, they have an effective heat distributing model in the VonHaus XL 4 Blade Stove Fan, which is for those with the space for a larger stove fan but is perhaps looking for a model that is a little more affordable. Evenly and effortlessly distribute warm air around your wood-burning stoves with the LUMAMU 4-Blade heat powered stove fan. With a classic design and the features required to make it highly functional, it makes a great choice for small, medium, and large-sized spaces.When placing the stove fan on top of your wood stove, i t needs to be as far away from the flue pipe as possible and on a level surface. Already, this may limit the amount of space you have available for a stove fan, even before taking headroom into account.

Stove fans don’t start running as soon as the wood stove is lit, they usually jump into life when the stove heats up and a certain temperature is reached. When the bi-metallic strip senses that the stove is too hot, it expands and lifts the base of the fan away from the top of the stove. As a result, the body of the stove fan is somewhat protected from the heat of the stove. This usually happens at temperatures over 300 °C , and it’s a good idea to use a stove thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature of the stove – too hot a fire can damage the stove itself, as well as a fan on top.One way the style can affect the efficiency of a fan is with the number of bladesfeatured. Most include two blades, but some have three or four that may be able to circulate more air faster. Some stove fans feature two sets of blades, giving them a total of eight blades for maximum air circulation. Benefits of Using a Stove Fan Self-regulating, this wood stove fan has an operating temperature range of 50°C to 350°C. If it ever gets above the maximum temperature, a bi-metallic safety device gently raises the fan to protect the motor and the fan. There is a bi-metallic strip on the base which helps stop the stove fan from suffering heat damage; however, a thermometer should still be used to make sure that the stove isn’t getting too hot. Undoubtedly, stove fans efficiently and effectively distribute the heat that your stove produces throughout your living space. You and your home will feel warmer for longer on the wood that you burn and you save on your electric or gas heating bills. All of the stove fans I review will do the job; it’s more a matter of which one fits in with your stove and living arrangements. It’s powered by your wood-burning stove’s hot surface.
