Product Description
Midwest Hearth Thermal Fan Switch for Fireplace Blower, 115F On, 90F Off
- DESIGNED FOR FIREPLACE BLOWER FANS — Automatically controls your fireplace blower fan based on firebox temperature, turning the fan on when heat builds and off as it cools. Compatible with gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Works as a standalone switch or in combination with a fan speed control for full blower management.
- PRECISE TEMPERATURE CONTROL — Turns your blower fan ON at 115°F so warm air circulates only when the firebox is ready, and OFF at 90°F so the fan runs until residual heat is cleared. No manual switching, no blowing cold air into the room — just clean, efficient heat circulation every time you fire up.
- EASY DIY INSTALLATION — Installs inline with your blower's black power wire using two spade terminals — no special tools or wiring expertise needed. Mounts with the included bracket (center hole to center hole: 1-1/2", overall length: 2" end to end). Refer to your appliance manual for model-specific wiring guidance.
- KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY — The center disc measures 1/2" in diameter — this is a precision component, intentionally compact for installation in tight firebox spaces. If you're replacing an existing thermal switch, match your current switch's temperature ratings and bracket dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fit.
- MIDWEST HEARTH QUALITY — Backed by over 20 years of hearth industry expertise. Designed for homeowners and heating professionals who need a reliable, professional-grade replacement part that installs correctly the first time.
The Midwest Hearth thermal switch (also known as a temp sensor or "snap-stat") can automatically control the on/off function of your fireplace blower fan. TEMPERATURE RANGE: The switch will "close" at 115℉ which allows power to the fan and turns it "on". When the appliance temperature drops to 90℉ the switch will "open" and stop power to the fan shutting it "off". WHEN USING AN OPTIONAL SPEED CONTROL: Simply set your preferred fan speed on the rheostat and leave it there. When the fireplace reaches 115℉ the blower will automatically turn on and run at the speed you set on your speed control. LINE VOLTAGE: This switch is rated to run on standard household (plug in) voltage. IE: 115-120 VAC. This is the voltage almost all fireplace blower fans use for operation. 15 AMP MAX: That's 1800 watts at 120v... More than adequate for single and dual fireplace blowers.
