The importance of venting your attic cannot be
overlooked. In hot dry climates, stagnant air can dry out
your trusses, increase your energy costs for air conditioning and make
your house uncomfortable.
If your home is like most that we
inspect, it is severely under vented. You can add more soffit and exhaust
vents which is what we prefer to
do but at what cost? Power venting may be a more
cost effective and efficient method of achieving your goal.
However, venting is just part of the problem. A well ventilated
attic will reduce the convective
load.
Gable Mounted Home Store
Fan
This
shows a typical home store attic fan installed on a gable vent inside the
attic. Although the mounting looks secure, the application is incorrect
since the space around the fan is not blocked off. The fan will create a
negative pressure behind the fan and will draw air from the closest point, in
this case, from vent openings around the fan. This means very little air
will be exhausted from the attic and most of it will be drawn in around the
fan. The open area around the fan
shroud (the round ring), needs to be blocked off with cardboard or wood to make
this type of installation effective. We see this type of installation on
almost every home that has one!
Pictured here is our 14" fan correctly installed by
one of our customers. Notice all of the vent openings around
the fan are blocked off to prevent air from coming in around
the fan. This is critical to good performance in the installation of any
fan. The optional sheet metal mounting box makes installation
straightforward, fast and secure. The thermostat and junction box
which is included is mounted 7' from the fan to sense the attic
temperature. Set it at 110f and forget this fan is running as no
maintenance is required.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SOLAR ATTIC FANS, THEY JUST DON'T MOVE ENOUGH VOLUME. Great for a shed, an addition or small area, but not sufficient CFM air movement for a full size attic. We are currently designing one that has the capacity for a home. Bookmark this page for upcoming information!
We import a vibration free, powerful, reliable powered attic fan manufactured in Germany. This attic fan is unlike any other available: quiet, powerful and very efficient. We include an adjustable thermostat and an optional mounting box with this system. This fan features an external rotor to which the fan blades are welded. This unique design reduces blade flex and vibration and eliminates one of the shaft bearings. The bearings are sealed and never need attention. Install it, set the thermostat and forget about it. The 14" fan consumes 245 watts. At a national average of .10/kwh running for eight hours a day that's less than $6 per month. There are sites on the 'net that say the power consumption of an attic fan does not offset the cost of running it. The goal is keeping your A/C off as much as possible which consumes 1600 watts per ton. Logic would dictate running a fan for $6/month would be preferable to longer run times on your A/C unit from the stagnate, overheated attic air and the load on your ceiling.

In homes that have gas appliances such as
water heaters or furnaces in the attic, great care must be taken to
insure adequate intake venting is provided (gables/soffits), so as to
not create a
negative pressure that will draw fumes down the chimney of gas
appliances. Installing an attic fan in this application has
the potential for fire or filling your attic with carbon dioxide.
Just make certain there is sufficient intake openings to circumvent
this situation.

Pricey? They sure are, you could buy four home store fans for the price of one of these....then plan on replacing it every year because that's how long they last (see testimonial below). I don't know about you but I would rather have a root canal in Mexico than spend a Saturday morning in a hot attic replacing the fan under warranty. Once this job is done, you never want to see it again. This one you won't because of the quality, the thermostat and sealed motor bearings that never need lubrication.
If you open the box upon delivery of this item are not totally impressed with the craftsmanship and quality, return it for a full refund. We'll even pay for the return shipping! We are that confident of this item. We do not offer any product on our site that we have not field tested and trust for our online customers.
Shown with optional fan mounting box and romex pre-wired to an accurate,
adjustable thermostat. You need only to mount the included 2"x4" junction
box (near the peak of the roof), and supply a source of 110v power to the
thermostat. We've done most of the work for you! Shown here is the
blue plastic junction box with the unit pre-wired, just add power! Set
the Thermostat at 110f and forget about it, no lubrication, no service is
needed.
Simply mount what you see to the left over a gable vent or large size
roof vent (at least 14"), and start saving.
Most of the work is done already! You will need a
hammer to mount the blue box, a screwdriver and drill to mount the sheet metal
box to the vent. The thermostat is even pre-wired to the fan!

We fabricate this sheet
metal fan box for our Phoenix installations and thought we should
offer it to our online shoppers as well.
The design allows for a smoother discharge of air as it
fully takes advantage of the aerodynamic design of the shroud and large
side flanges makes it much easier to install. Cuts the installation time as the fan is pre-mounted to the box.
Just hold the box up to the wall or roof and screw in the entire assembly. N o shipping cost if included with fan order. Order our optional mounting kit and you will have everything you need to install this unit.

This just in from a customer in the Midwest :
THE 12" FAN ARRIVED YESTERDAY {Friday June 23, 2006} AT APPROXIMATELY 12:00 NOON BY UNITED PARCEL SERVICE AND I HAD A CONTRACTOR INSTALL IT TODAY {Saturday June 24, 2006} IN THE FRONT PART OF THE GARAGE ABOVE THE DOUBLE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR OPENING WHERE A "VENT" WAS PLACED WHEN THEY BUILT THE HOUSE FOUR YEARS AGO. YES, THE TWO ROOF VENTS OVER THE GARAGE WERE BLOCKED OFF BY STAPLING BOTH WITH A PIECE OF CARDBOARD PER YOUR ADVICE SO THAT THE ONLY AIR NOW COMES FROM THE FIVE (5) ROOF VENTS OF THE HOUSE PLUS THE SOFFITS. AND YES, THE FAN IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY BY HAVING IT COMPLETELY ENCLOSED IN A BOX MADE UP OF A PIECE OF 3/4" PLYWOOD {A ROUND HOLE CUT INTO IT FOR THE FAN} AND ALL FOUR SIDES WITH {2" X 4"}. THERE ISN'T ANY "OPEN AIR SPACES" AROUND THE BOX AS THE BOX COVERS THE ENTIRE VENT AREA PUT IN THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE WHEN THEY BUILT THE HOUSE.
NOTE: THE OLD FAN WASN'T INSTALLED PROPERLY AND LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE ON YOUR WEB SITE WHERE IT'S OPEN ALL AROUND THE FAN HOUSING. ISN'T THAT A SHAME THAT A CONTRACTOR WOULD DO SUCH SLOPPY WORK. I DIDN'T USE THESE SAME CONTRACTORS AND WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY ONE. THE NEW CONTRACTOR DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
YES, SO FAR THE NEW FAN IS QUIET AND I'M GLAD IT'S IN BEFORE THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER FORBIDS ONE FROM ENTERING THE ATTIC TO INSTALL ONE. HOPEFULLY THE 12" FAN WILL DO THE JOB AS YOU TALKED ME OUT OF THE 14" FAN SAYING I WOULD BE OVER DOING IT. THE OLD FAN WAS ONE YEAR OLD AND WAS------"WHISPERCOOL" ATTIC VENTILATOR 1320 CFM, MODEL # 53319 WCGB 12"------AND THE MOTOR WAS SHOT AND WOULDN'T RUN AT ALL. HOPEFULLY THE NEW FAN THAT I PURCHASED FROM YOU WILL LAST MUCH LONGER AS IT'S QUITE EXPENSIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY.
