Well made Sep 07, 2008
By Otis Boxer

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.

 Excellent value - Very quiet - Sturdy - Easy Apr 23, 2009
By J. Wilks
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.

Quick and easy install!! Aug 16, 2009
By Nick W. Kester
"woknick"
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.

Great Fan, Great Support and a Must-do Home Improvement Project Jul 19, 2010
By K. Correa
"Mom in SLC"
First off, I'm a woman, and I was able to do most of this project myself. I live in a "Tri-level" home and the master bedroom faces west and never seems to cool down in the summer. I could have the AC set to 60 and my room would still be a pressure cooker. For the past 10 years I've tried several techniques to cool the upstairs without freezing out the 2 lower levels: Runing a swamp cooler, using box fans to push cool air upstairs, leaving the A/C fan set to "On" position, running ceiling fans all day, etc. Some of my neighors installed "turtles" in their attic, but didn't notice much difference. So I finally decided to install an attic fan and after doing lots of research, settled on this model. I have an 800 square foot attic that is probably around 2500 cubic feet. I mounted the fan on an old piece of chip board and screwed it to the inside of the gable, over my kids bedrooms, so that I wouldn't hear the noise if there were any. My friend ran the power, tapping into the line for the smoke detectors. He installed a switch so that I can override the fan without climbing into the attic and he also installed an attic light at the same time (I store my Christmas stuff up there).
I ended up wiring the thermostat incorrectly so the fan was running continuously. I took a picture of my wiring job and emailed it to Alan at Ventamatic who quickly diagnosed my problem. In a few minutes I had it wired correctly and now the thermostat works perfectly. It makes a quiet hum when it's running, which I don't find annoying at all (and I'm really sensitive to noises).
The day we got the fan running, the attic was 147 degrees (I put my oven thermometer up there and left the display hanging down from the access panel so I could monitor the temp throughout the day). Now the attic doesn't get much above 120 degrees on a 105 degree day. It stayed in the low 100s on a recent cloudy day. Before the fan, the ceiling in my bedroom would be warm to the touch. When I'd turn on the ceiling fan, I'd feel hot air blowing down on me. Now the ceiling is cool and the ceiling fan actually blows cool air! I can really notice the difference.
The entire cost of the job (without the sweat equity) was under $100, including wiring, switches, etc. I should make that up in AC costs the first year.
My experience with Alan in the customer service department was outstanding. I highly recommend this fan and this home improvement project for anyone who has oven-like attic space.

 Good price but same old Motor Design with Sleeve Bush - Bound to fail Jun 15, 2011
By MechEngg
Well, I have seen lot of those come and go over years, this one is no different. I have changed lots of those. I took this motor apart to see if anything has changed, NONE at all. Failure is bound to happen in A season or 2 because there is no real ball bearing on the shaft, it has bush/sleeve (High Maintenance) with no lubrication ports. Per instructions came with the fan says lubricate often (With non detergent oil) but how??
Construction of the motor is same as it used to be for the last 15-20 years with some minor changes but shaft and bearing housing assembly remains the same. It used to be $20 motor, it went up gradually over the last couple of years to $55, no matter where you buy it from Homedepot or online.
I'll give it 2 stars for the reason, price is right especially it comes with thermostat. I installed mine couple of months ago, it's good. Made some mods to lubricate front & Back end of the shaft.
Just a thought to share, expensive motors have low maintenance because they have permanent lubricated sealed bearings.
