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.

No brainer fan, easy for a monkey like me to install Jun 25, 2010
By VideoVic
I was surprised at the number of reviews/people that bought the 1600 or 1500 instead of this one. I can't say enough good about it. Let me first say that chewing 1.4 Amps less over the long haul with a PSC motor is a big winner (not to mention the better warranty). I had to custom make my own gable shroud to mount fan - no problem there. Adding sound damping barrier foam to metal standoffs on shroud and to motor mount has made it very low resonance and reasonable sound level. It's quiet enough but a little more work could reduce it more.
Note, I'm using this in Arizona! I have the shutoff temp set for 87deg F. If you let it, it'll run from 7-8am to 11pm (or longer). Too late for me - so we put it on a 15A timer circuit. Works like a champ in that it gets AC circuit power on from 7am to 9pm, of which the only time that varies in the summer is the turn on time (not turn off, it never reaches 87F before 2am.) That's not the fan's fault - it's my need for quiet rest that is the override.
Is $20 more expense going to be recovered with lower energy bills over the other models? That verdict is still out, but I'm guessing a resounding yes.
