Anyone used one of these? [url= http://www.ecofan.co.uk/woodstove-ecofans.html ]ecofan[/url]
I need to push the heat from our woodburner into the dining area (open plan) before it all buggers off up the stairs. these look and sound pretty good, but they are hellish expensive for what they are.
Any positive views might help convince me to buy one. Unless anyones got a used one they dont use 😉
There was a post about them a monthor so ago.
Good by all accounts but pricey.

Towards the bottom of the first page.
My grand parents have 1 on each stove
They no longer use the heating in their house
Seemingly makes a massive difference- my parents are just gutted they fitted flush woodburners into the wall
I'd like to try one to see if they are worth the cash but it's a lot to shell out if oyu don't like it.
thanks for the link, has put a doubt in my mind, as one post commented on it not being great on convector stoves, which i have. Im sure the top of mine gets hot enough but like you say, its an awfull lot of cash to try it and it not to do that much, pity they arent half he price be worth a go then...
We have a tiny 3.7kw kensal stove (they also make stockton stoves)and a ecofan and it works a treat by pushing the heat out of the fireplace into the room and helps dry the washing and getting the convection flow working. Yes they arnt cheap but ours has been working for 4 months (every evening with no problems).
The chap at Christies in Edinburgh (sells stoves and all the kit) reckoned it was worthwhile to test the effectiveness by using a small electric fan to move the hot air around before investing in an ecofan.
Make your own if you're bored?

I've made one but I think it needs a joule thief to work properly and some sort of insulation to stop the heat bypassing the peltier and heating the cold side heat sink.
