Combustion Inducer Blower
A combustion inducer blower is a unit used in heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment such as
furnaces. The inducer blower draws air through the furnace's combustion passageway to promote a more efficient
running of the combustion, and to allow thorough heat transfer. An effective combustion inducer blower helps to
extend the life of the furnace.
Types of Blowers
Sometimes called a blower inducer or a combustion fan ventor, these parts can be multi-blade and made of plastic
which run at 90% efficiency or metallic housing material which runs at 80%. They are also sometimes sold as a
kit or a complete assembly with a gasket and motor. Most replacement combustion blowers cost around $200, but
some are as low as $98 and others are high as $655.
