A compact, energy efficient blower that is controlled by a Peltier thermoelectric device to supply either hot or cold air. The Peltier device is sandwiched between a pair of heat exchangers that are surrounded by a plastic enclosure. Each heat exchanger includes a plurality of parallel aligned thermal energy conducting fins that are folded to maximize the surface area thereof. A fan is mounted atop the enclosure to pump a first supply of intake air through a first air flow path in a first heat exchanger at one side of the Peltier device to exhaust the waste energy emitted by the Peltier device and collected by the first heat exchanger. The fan also pumps a second supply of intake air through a second air flow path in the second heat exchanger at the opposite side of the Peltier device to blow the useful energy emitted by the Peltier device and collected by the second heat exchanger to an application device or a space within which the blower is located. The first and second heat exchangers are turned upside down relative to one another at opposite sides of the Peltier device so that the waste energy and useful energy are pumped from the blower in directions which are aligned perpendicular to one another.
