1450 CFM SIlver Electric Powered Gable Mount Electric Attic Fan

Replace old fan this unit in about 2014. (2200 sq.ft. attic) Noticed this summer wasn't working. Froze up. Probably worn bearing. Good calculation providing the 5 yr warranty. Going to buy another one just like it, nevertheless, because it will be easier to throw the new one into the existing drum.

been outside and my other old fan that quit that i got from a store that rhymes with blows was really loud, sounded like a helicopter taking off. this fan is quiet. it is metal, looks of better quality and hopefully helps with our attic that is scorching hot. im happy so far, keeping box just in case!!

Excellent, little bigger than what I needed. Super Quiet and set at 95°, house is cooler and air unit doesn't work as hard!

Replaced an old fan that went bad. I used my old brackets but everything else worked good. I used rubber grommets from the hardware store on the 4 brackets to hush any vibrations that might be created. Quiet and efficient. Left the factory setting at 115 degrees. My fan comes on for an hour or two then shuts off for a bit. 85 degrees and humid weather. Very happy so far!

In order for this fan to be effective, you need to properly install it and when I say properly, I mean not to place on a couple of 2x4s... so, measure your gable, grab a 4x8 sheet of half inch plywood and make a shroud out of it. Without it, all this fan is gonna do bounce the air all around it. Try to guess why car radiator fans are shrouded...

Purchased this to replace a 25 year old gable attic fan I purchased at Home Depot years ago that finally failed. That was a 4 blade fan and was quite noisy. This replacement is 3 blade and much quieter. The thermostat on the old fan also developed a problem where when the temp dropped to turn off it would, but then after 30 seconds or so would turn the fan back on. This sequence might continue for another 5 minutes until the attic temp was a few degrees lower to keep it completely turned off. The new thermostat works perfectly. Once the turnoff temperature is reached, it stays off. The photo is of the new unit installed. Years ago when I installed the first fan, I had built a wafer board box over the gable vent to ensure all of the fan air was pushed out. The replacement fan had to have the same diameter as the cutout for the original fan, and this did. The mounting holes were in a different location though, but this was a minor issue as I just drilled the screws in to the wafer board for the new locations, then plugged up the old screw holes with a little caulk. I would have given the unit 5 stars if it had not come with a "capacitor" start motor. I have electrical engineering friends and they tell me the capacitor is most prone to failure. If you look at the left side of the motor in the photo, you can see the black block with the light colored label on it. That is the capacitor. My original fan was NOT a capacitor start motor and it lasted 25 years. It will be interesting to see how long this motor lasts. And one thing I would like to see the manufacturer do; put rubber vibration isolation grommets on the motor arms where they attach to the air duct. Also include vibration isolation strips of foam for the installation to go between the mounting tabs and the boards the fan is to be mounted to. Although the unit is quiet, not totally. This would hopefully make it so. Last, make sure the motor mounting arm screws are fully tightened to the air duct. 2 of mine were not. If I did not check this to securely tighten them, then I would have definately had vibration noise.

Easy to assemble, easy to wire, and easy to mount. Plenty of output to suite my needs. I used this particular fan to construct a shed for my generator to handle the exhaust gases and fumes. Love it because the actual motor is replaceable although I doubt that I'll ever have to replace it.

I chose this vent fan more for it's energy saving motor over a cheaper unit. Seems to be made well, no vibration while running and much quieter than the one it replaced. GAF has a five year warranty on it so I hope it lasts a few more years than that. Thermostat seems fairly accurate too.

This fan works it keeps the attic cool not cold great product!!!

I purchased this to help bring down the temperature in my attic space in the hopes that my AC unit would function more efficiently. I installed the fan in the gable roof and experimented with the thermostat setting a bit. Although it is factory set to 105F, I found that a setting of 90F worked best to keep the air in the attic cool. So far, the attic has not exceeded 10F above the outside air temperature and the upstairs AC is working really well now (no more complaints from the kids about their rooms being too warm!) The biggest challenge was finding the right size gable vent to go with the fan. Many of the plastic gable vents either had smaller openings than needed for the fan or did not include any type of screening to prevent "critters" from entering. I finally found the Ekena Millwork 21 in. x 29 in. Smooth Western Red Cedar Functional Gable Vent with Flat Trim Unfinished (Model # GVWVE16X2401SFUWR Internet #300033551). The rectangular shape of this vent made framing for the fan installation much easier. I painted the vent to match my home and am very pleased with how it works with the fan. The included critter screen was exactly what I needed! One note: Since taking the install pictures, I've added some additional pieces of wood to cover the difference between the circle of the fan and the square frame to insure all the air is pushed out of the attic. The RED areas in the picture show how these pieces of wood were cut and installed. I highly recommend this set up to anyone looking to reduce their attic space temperature.
