Fireplace Fan Speed Control Adjustment in Greater Vancouver

Fireplace fan speed control adjustment for gas fireplaces in Greater Vancouver — HeatLand’s licensed technicians handle all gas fireplace fan, blower and speed control work safely.

Gas fireplace fan speed control

The blower or fan in a gas fireplace helps circulate warm air from the firebox into the room. Most gas fireplace blowers have a variable speed control — either a manual rheostat on the unit or an automatic thermostat-triggered speed controller. When the fan speed control fails or is incorrectly adjusted, the fireplace may run the blower too fast (noisy), too slow (poor heat distribution) or not at all.

When to call a technician

Gas fireplace fan and blower work is low-risk compared to burner or gas valve service, but the fireplace’s electrical wiring and the proximity to the burner assembly mean all fan and speed control work should be done by a licensed HVAC or gas technician. HeatLand services gas fireplace blowers, speed controllers and variable speed relays across Greater Vancouver.

How do I adjust my gas fireplace fan speed?

Gas fireplace fan speed is controlled by a variable speed control switch (rheostat) typically located behind the lower louvre of the fireplace. Turn it clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease. If your fireplace has an automatic speed control, the blower speed is managed by a thermostat sensor and is not manually adjustable. If the blower isn’t responding to the control, call HeatLand for a diagnosis.

Why is my gas fireplace fan so loud?

A loud gas fireplace fan typically means the blower speed is set too high, the blower wheel has debris accumulation, or the blower motor bearings are worn. HeatLand can inspect and service your gas fireplace blower across Metro Vancouver.
