I installed this fan in my garage to vent the heat out in the evenings. Oh boy, did it make a difference! My wife and I were shocked at how well this unit performs - it's strong enough to create a vacuum against the door to the house so that when we enter the garage it pulls the door shut behind us. It's reduce the temperature in the garage by 8-10 degrees Celsius in the evenings (on a hot day would get to 28C and now we can get it under 20C by midnight. The house subsequently is cooler, specifically the bedroom above the garage. It was a big difficult to find a vent cover that I could use on the outside of the house, as I didn't want to leave it open. I found a 14x14 metal cover at Rona for about $35 which has done the trick. The wiring was pretty straightforward (green under green screw, black to black, white to white) but the instructions are terrible. Take a few pictures of your wiring and have an electrician friend confirm your wiring if you're not certain about it. We also purchased the wireless controller system. It works really well and is pretty easy to figure out (again, the instructions suck but it's pretty straightforward). Would highly recommend this add-on. One other thing - the baffles on the back side of the unit are awesome. The overall unit is much more commercial grade/industrial than I was expecting - I was expecting something a little stronger than a 150 CFM bathroom fan but this thing can crush a lot of airflow and is not even in the same league as a bathroom fan. We didn't realize how much of a difference this fan has made, and have recommended it to many family and friends. If you have a garage or crawl space it's worth the investment, you'd be surprised!

I ordered this after ordering a fan around the same size from one of the cheaper brands, almost half the price. That one wasnt even strong enough to open the louvres. I ordered this one to replace it, and it is MUCH higher quality and moves probably twice as much air in my 40x40 shop. You definitely get what you pay for, and this is the choice if you dont want to have to replace the cheap one. Just be aware that it does not come with a power cord, so you will have to wire in your own plug or to a switch, but is a simple 3 wire hookup that anyone with basic electric knowledge can do.

Easy to install. Fits inside 16 inch studs in the wall. Simple to connect to power. The instruction diagram makes it very straight forward. Works great. Moves a lot of air and is not too noisy. The main noise is the rush of air coming through the fan. Very satisfied with this product.

This fan is as good as it perform. very effective at its capacity.
