2. Grate heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grate_heater

   This tubular fireplace grate heater has a large surface area heat exchanger in a compact design, with a fan or blower (fans and blowers are not the same) to multiply the effect of natural convection. This is a very basic tubular blower that sits under a grate and heats the air being pumped through it from the heat of the coals.

3. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel).

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Primary energy sources may be fuels like coal or wood, oil, kerosene, natural gas, or electricity. Compared with systems such as fireplaces and wood stoves, a central heating plant offers improved uniformity of temperature control over a building, usually including automatic control of the furnace.

5. Fireplace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace

   Some fireplace units incorporate a blower, which transfers more of the fireplace's heat to the air via convection, resulting in a more evenly heated space and a lower heating load. Fireplace efficiency can also be increased with the use of a fireback, a piece of metal that sits behind the fire and reflects heat back into the room.

6. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   However, the simplicity of single-stage gas furnaces come at the cost of blower motor noise and mechanical inefficiency. The blower motors on these single-stage furnaces consume more energy overall because, regardless of the heating requirements of the space, the fan and blower motors operate at a fixed-speed.

   Gas blowers run from 80 to 90 decibels, versus 59 to 70 decibels for electric blowers, according to the website LeafScore. The environmental benefits of going electric are substantial.
