Does this have a fan or blower to distribute the heat?

This item has a built in blower/fan at the top front of the unit. It's the grate looking bar shown in the picture on the face plate. The air intake is the grate that is located at the top of the unit that isn't on the front.

We use it in our bedroom which is ~20'x20'. It has a fan, multiple temperature settings and multiple "ambience" settings for the flame intensity also. Simple answer is yes. As others said you can feel the air in front of it but we found that it heated the entire floor of the house which was better than we had expected. Wasn't too loud to sleep either. Opinions are a dime a dozen however our opinion was that it was well worth the money. Waited a couple years to get one and I finally broke down last year and bought it. Should have gotten one sooner. It does add to the electric bill (~$40 month) but we ran it all night every night. The savings were mutual on the gas bill. We use it in our bedroom which is ~20'x20'.

It does have a blower, but, I cannot seem to turn it higher. It would be great if it was way stronger.

No, mine didn't have one....Might be able to add on I'm not sure....We did use a small "stand alone" aux fan to push warm air.

No, the heater doesn't have a blower, works on convection, whether you can add a blower, I have no idea. It is zero clearance, hangs on the wall.....hope this was some help.

Joann there is no blower on this unit. I have it in use in a smaller mobile home amd the heat tranfsfers good without one. If you want more consistant heat flow to differant areas a blower would probibly be a good move.Bob

Yes, it does have a small fan. I guess I should have said that, but thought it would be inferred from my comments about the unit being relatively quiet. It does not move a lot of air, but does push the heat out a good 8 feet or so. It only takes about 15 minutes to heat up my living room (16'x20'+/-) from below 60 to near 68 when I get home at night.

No, it does not have a fan on it. It is radiant heater, therefore it is supposed to just heat objects, although it would heat a very small room/bathroom.

blower can be used but I doubt you will need one. Heater produces good heat without one.

Yes, the fan blows air through the heating element and that's how the heat is distributed.

We had the heater and blower installed by the gas company. The guy told us the blower wouldn't do much good. He said a ceiling fan is all you need. But, since we had already purchased the blower, we had him install it anyway. Now that we've used it a few times, we admit he was right. If you have a ceiling fan, forget the blower. It doesn't blow with much force at all....kinda pitiful, really. And it's a bit noisy, too, so save your money & just use a ceiling fan to circulate the heat.

You don't need a blower. It distributes the heat just fine without additional equipment and you can run it without the heat.

No, because there is no blower. It is meant to heat an area slowly and safely, and then to maintain that temperature. It does have a digital thermostat, though. We have had ours for eight years...WORKS GREAT!!!

It does come with a blower fan which does push a fair amount of air. If you have a large area to heat like me, I added a large quiet circulation fan above it to aid in room circulation.

No blower, do not think this model has a blower option. There are types with blowers yet they are much more expensive. Clearance requirements are stateed in the description, please see the complete description.

I'm not sure how to answer that except that it uses heat (there is a heat element located at the top) and a fan (air) - which circulates the heat.

Yes it has a fan. I used this live quite a few times and even a few house parties where it ran all night. I have never had a problem with it

I am sorry strike my first answer!! It DOES have a fan and a put a wood shelf 36 inches above it so it blows at an angle and heats the entire basement
