 Works as adverstised May 26, 2010
I installed this in my attic to better ventilate on non-windy days when the temperatures can hit 125F or higher. I agree with another poster that you really should set the thermostat using a thermometer. So go buy a wired remote thermometer where you can run the wire up through the attic access hole. I found mine is roughly 5 degrees off from the dial. The other thing I noticed is that since the thermostat is in a metal housing, it takes quite a while after the target temp is past (mine is coming on at around 105F) for the fan to cool the thermostat down to the point where it will kick off. Mine generally is kicking on around noon or 1 pm and kicking off sometime in the early evening. The other day it was 90F outside and the fan kept the attic a stable 107F until around 4 pm (neighbor's tree shades the roof) when temperatures started to fall, kicking off at 7pm and around 95F (and then temps quickly shot back up to 100F). The unit itself is quiet and I can only hear the barest of hums when it is in operation. I expect this will save quite a bit of money, make the AC's job easier, and prolong the life of my roof.

Working Fine after Two Summers Jan 31, 2010
These types of fans should be long lasting (it replaced one that was 13 years old and that may still have a few years left in it) and this one seems to be on track to do that.
I highly recommend a thermostatically controlled fan such as this for attics with limited ventilation. The temperature difference between a poorly vented attic and the outside air on a summer afternoon is very high, and much of that heat will radiate into your living space. I installed this myself (I'm no handyman and took about three times as long as a pro or talented amatuer would). Tip - You may need to build a frame to hold the fan (or add a could of cross-beams for support). If you build a frame, consider attaching it to the fan before installing both in the attic.

Very good for the money May 12, 2009
This attic fan was designed well and was easy to install. Easy to use temperature control. Others costing twice as much do not do any better.

Reduces the greenhouse effect. Jul 19, 2008
Get this! Best way to save on air conditioning and thus electric useage. This is an ecologically sound investment. Reduces attic temperature dramatically with subsequent reduction in temperature inside your house. Ceilings adjacent to attic conduct heat proportionally to the temperature in the attic. No other device reduces that temperature more effectively than an attic fan. And a gable end fan is without a doubt the most effective type. It's much more effective than a roof vent fan as the volume of air moved is greater. Always install a bug/bird screen in front of the opening and some sort of louver to prevent rain/snow infiltration. Hinged louvers are the best. Make sure you set the fan's thermostat to come on at 90 degrees F. Fan will run anytime the attic temperature passes 90 degrees F. and shuts off below that temperature. In late spring when outdoor temperatures increase this fan will allow you to go without using the air conditioner much later into the season. Once air conditioning is needed this unit will decrease the air conditioner useage to save more money. Help the environment. Don't be fuelish. Get an attic fan.

 Problems right out of the box Jul 08, 2008
Purchased the vent to alleviate heat collection in the attic.
Mounting and electrical connections were easy, but time consuming.
After verifying placement, electrical service, I found the unit
thermometer would not work at any temperature setting. The unit was basically non-functional right out of the box.
I will not buy another unit. My time and efforts were wasted. $$$$ wasted.
