I assume it is to provide power to a blower but thought I'd better ask before I plug it in. Thought I'd ask you instead of the chimney sweep that's due to arrive in two weeks and save some embarrassment!

It's most likely a blower, but why not just open the bottom drawer of the fireplace unit and take a look...
