By closing all the doors and windows at night except our bedroom window, this attic fan is able to pull enough cooler outside air through our room to create a comfortable breeze."
"I did install fly screening between louver and fan to keep out insects, but will cut into the amount of air movement to the outside !"
"Upstairs is noticeably cooler in ac season with this fan thermostat set to come on at 115F. The tilting louvers style of outlet would give better, quieter air flow and be less strain on the fan motor."
"All my research suggests no place to oil fan it's completely sealed and the small hole that some claim looks like oil hole doesn't actually travel to motor bearings. Most old attic fans are marked with yellow/orange oil plugs anyway."
"Made a custom upper window frame insert for my attic window(replacing the upper panes of glass) and it was the perfect size for the smaller frame in my attic. Thermostat kicks on at the set temperature and helps keep the 2nd floor of my house cooler (one side of my house has storm screens in the attic, the other side has the fan)."
"Works great. I can smack the fan and it will disappear for a few seconds."
"When I called Broan, without even asking for (in fact refusing my offer to provide) the model number, they said that their warranty is one year and to go pound sand."
Mount Ventilator with a 2.1 amp thermally protected PSC motor, a galvanized steel flange.

I've cut a round hole 15-1/4" in diameter (1/4" larger then the manufacturer suggests in order to apply the silicone to absorb vibrations). Applied silicone between the plywood and fan (reduces vibrations also increases efficiency). Ran the power cable through a switch inside the house so I can control when to shut it down in case I need to."
"I went to put it where the failed fan was mounted before and I found that the way the support brackets are I can only screw 3 of the 4 legs to the studs. The armored cable that goes to the control box is pretty short..probably 12-15 inches so that also barely reaches the stud to be bolted in, also the cable was pulled away from the control box exposing a few inches of the wire inside."
"This helps for the times I have to be up in the attic but it's not quite warm enough to kick on the thermostat. PS - it is loud!"
"In testing blades turning by hand, blades were hitting seam of housing where it was riveted. After mounting fan to plywood I still had blades hitting side of housing as well as one bolt (I changed out the bolts for lower profile heads). I have seen others bend the blades to try and clear the housing, this is very bad since it will increase vibration due to being out of balance. The fan has three mount arms that connect the motor to the housing. Where the fan hits the housing, I removed the screw from the closest mount. I then tightened the screw back down for this mount. In this way I was able to get the motor/fan blades centered in the housing without trying to bend the housing, etc."

"Installed 10 of these American-made vents in the soffits of my recently remodeled garage."
"These 4" vents are exactly what I was looking for."
"I'll bet that you could put a small computer fan inside one of these if you wanted to."
"Installed these under eaves for airflow into the uninsulated space above an insulated porch, together with a gable vent and Raft-R-Mate rafter vents."
"Perfect for adding ventilation to my steel building."
"have no idea why the cut out size and actual lover size are so close in measurement, would have been much nicer to have added another 1/2 inch to the outside measurement."
"Used to replace vents that were painted over ao much that the vents were sealed."
