Product Details

Our Maxx Air 1,600 CFM Gable Attic Fan is built to ventilate residential attic spaces up to 2,400 sq. ft. and is a great fit for situations in which roof-mounting is impractical. Constructed using a durable galvanized steel shroud and blades to resist heat distortion, and paired with a mounting system engineered to minimize vibration and ensure quiet operation. Install is straightforward with our easy to use mounting brackets and requires no special tools to complete. Our gable vent includes a pre-wired thermostat to run the exhaust fan only when you need it, minimizing it's operational cost. This electric fan is designed to prolong the life of composition roof shingles by lowering summer attic temperatures and helps to protect attic insulation against mold and mildew in the winter by removing moisture-filled air. Install behind existing louvers or purchase our shutter model (CX2121AM), and swap your pre-wired thermostat for a thermostat/humidistat combo (XXDUOSTAT) for greater control.

            Q:Is this model loud? Does it come on in the middle of the night and wake you up?

            Answer This Question

            A:  It is pretty flimsy and rattles and vibrates. We can hear it above my office ceiling. The thermocouple seems to work fine. Shuts off when the temp drops to setting comes on when the temp gets up in the morning. Pay higher and get a more solid unit.

                A:  Yes that should not be a problem. Just need to run electrical to that location if not ready there.

                    The purpose for this purchase was to replace an existing ventamatic that was failing. The supports were the same spacing and the rating was higher cfm than previous fan. The new fan seems to be more lightweight in support arms. Thus it is louder and more “jumpy.” There are four blades instead of five on previous fan. My recommendation is to go up to a larger fan so the supports may be more substantial strength. It is working, just noisy.

                      Follow the directions is key
                      I have installed at least 500 of these fans and find them durable. Because they mount to studs I find the need to install isolators. Building the shroud is vital. Without the shroud they don't work well.

                        Works great, does what it is supposed to do. Straight forward install. Nice strong and efficient motor. The fan shroud could stand to be a heavier gauge.
