This is a well made fan that mounts easily and comes with it's own thermostat. Once mounted, set the thermostat (I set mine @ 90 degrees) and you're in business. Now my AC doesn't run as much as it did before installing the fan. I installed a wall switch to turn the fan on & off, so that when I am going away from home for a few days I can simply turn the fan off & save some electricity.

I was not sure how good this product would be. I ordered. With shipping under fifty bucks total. As I had been looking inside the big warehouse stores for a attic fan and for anythjing decent two hundred bucks was the starting point! I purchased this item about three weeks ago installed myself under two hours and am a total klutz with household repairs. Very easy instructions and less wiring than a standard old table lamp. Great built in thermostatic control seems very accurate so far, so good. The biggest bonus was our attic temp dropped twenty degrees during the day. At night fan shut off by 5:00 PM everyday leaving the attic at or below seventy five degrees. Did I mention we live in the Mojave Desert in some of the hottest weather conditions in the entire United States!! I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to lower their attic temperatures.

Thank you, James W.

I installed this fan today in my attic over the gable. The instructions recommend cutting a 15 1/8 hole in a piece of plywood and then mounting the fan to the plywood, and then to 2X4 studs around the gable. The Fan provides quite a bit of air movement with a slight hum in the garage. I will probably add some foam strips between the studs and the plywood mount in order to decrease vibrations. We live in Arizona, so the attic can get quite hot. The fan kicked on at 95F and turns off once the temperature dips below that degree. You can adjust the thermostat as needed with a flat head screwdriver,(has a nice indicator for precise adjustment). Great fan, easy install. I would definitely recommend.
