So Ive had the fan for several years and its been a great fan, I love that I never have to turn it on or off, just automatically comes on when it gets hot enough. I bought mine on Amazon at least 3 years ago, and recently my fan hasn't been working that great, its been spinning very slow or not at all. I finally looked into it and most people said you have to buy a new thermoelectric module also known as TEG, this is the thing that actually creates the electricity from heat, I found these for $20-33, but then did a little more research and found out that there is a very easy fix for it. If your fan is spinning slow or not at all, maybe from age or overheating it try this out... Unscrew the 2 main screws holding the unit together, this will split the fan in half, there is the thermoelectric module sandwiched in between the top and bottom half, scrape off the silver colored heat sink compound on one side of the thermoelectric module then put some CPU heat sink compound on it and put it back together. This CPU compound can be purchased at most computer stores. I did not have the CPU heat sink compound, so I researched and found that silicone grease would work just fine, so I used dielectric grease (which is silicone based) and it worked great!!! Very quick and easy fix and didnt cost me a penny! My Fan is now spinning really fast again just like it did when it was new, saved myself $33 on not having to buy a new thermoelectric module! Good Luck!

I'd seen some reviews that said that the fan did not work unless it was in a specific spot on your wood burner. Once my stove got a good fire going, the fan started spinning and I could move it to ANY spot on my stove top and it kept going. You can definitely feel the difference in the heat distribution in the room. I used to turn on an electric fan that had a timer so it would turn off later after the fire went down, but NOW with this fan I can just forget about it. It turns on by itself and turns off when there is no more heat to dissipate.Best Deals for Caframo Limited Ecofan Ultrair
This would be perfectl for a regular free standing stove, it would be worth the money to have one on each side of the flue! I can't believe how much air it pushes and it's completely silent. We have a fan on the insert that rattles and clangs so badly that we have to turn the tv up twice the normal volume to drown it out. This little fan sits on top of our insert off to the side where it can pull cooler air into the fins and even when it is running top speed it is completely silent. It's really easy to tell how hot the fire is by how fast the blade is turning too, helps to prevent overfiring and also lets you know when it's time to throw another log on if you're trying to idle the fire along slowly. Wonderful product! I would really like for them to make one that's for fireplace inserts tho, a short squat little guy that will sit under the mantle and pull all the heat off the top of the insert and push it out into the room.Honest reviews on Caframo Limited Ecofan Ultrair
We purchased this ecofan in 1998 and it works just as great today as when we first set it on our wood stove. Our winters are very cold with lots of snow; this fan circulates the warm air from the wood stove throughout the house as long as leave the bedroom doors open. I cannot say enough about how great this fan is and how well it works. Nothing to break down, no electricity cost, just the best ever.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Caframo Limited Ecofan Ultrair
