Before purchasing for self installation make sure that there is an electrical outlet (plug) in the space below the firebox. If there is, use a lamp to test whether it is connected or not (only one outlet will have power). I chose this particular version of the FBK-250 (fireplace is a Lennox LMDV-4035-CNM) because of the rheostat (speed control) and the temperature sensor. On all the other models that I saw the speed control was either a wall mount kit (light dimmer switch style) or a small plastic box designed to be mounted in the space under the fireplace. This model has the much easier to install (no work at all) magnetic temp sensor and the speed control box is metal not plastic (also designed to be mounted in the space below the fireplace). The instructions are written for a contractor so they can seem a bit vague, but if you read the instructions and look at the place where you will be installing the blower it will all make sense. The install was very easy. The only "issue" was mounting the speed control box. The instructions show several fireplace models, but none matched mine exactly. The instructions indicated that there were pre-drilled holes that were to be used for securing the box. My fireplace does not have them and I had no desire to drill into the bottom of the firebox. I used velcro to mount the box upside-down on the floor of the space below the firebox. The fan works well. It doesn't push a great deal of air, but it does warm up a room in a hurry. The unit comes on a few minutes after the fireplace starts and runs for a few minutes after the fireplace is turned off. I hope this helps with your decision.

This variable speed fan w/auto start/stop was quick and easy to install. With auto start, no worries about turning on or off and quiet too. For installation information, check out Youtube and search "FBK-250".
