Can you use this with a roof wind turbine?

Everything about this video is wrong.

I've seen gable vent fans that have a solar panel which mounts on the roof. Blows 2400cu ft per hour. No electric use and comes on with the sun so it's automatic.😊😊

Great video and great information

A better idea, time to rethink unconditioned attic spaces. The attic should be within the conditioned envelope of the house. Difficult if not nearly impossible to retrofit but from scratch, this should be code. There is no logical reason for a hot or cold attic space.

Not installed properly. If you can reach around the front of the fan, the air will escape. Also i hope there is not a tiny screen blocking the fans air discharge

I think it is netter to push cool air in rather than try to blow hot air out. Cooler air coming in will disperse better. If a fan is blowing out, it will create a single air current and all the hot above air will just stay in place and not cool. Adding 1 fan in and 1 fan out compounds the issue and is not effective. In your example, the intake air will be right next to the fan and the whole attic space will stay stagnant. By pointing the fan in, it forces the cooler air to mix will the hot air.

Who tf thought it would be a good idea to put the ac in the attic? That's the dumbest shit ever

I'm in FL and my roof has a ridge vent. My fan was installed to blow fan out of the gable window. But this means air is coming in thru the ridge vent (which is super-heated by the roof); I'm wondering if i should install the fan to draw air in instead? Anyone have any thoughts?

I just installed a QuietCool fan made in the 🇺🇸 in the gable vent. I put Rockwool insulation between the joists and then 1/2” untreated plywood to cover it all up. I had a lot or wiring over the joists so I used Furing strips 1x2” and it gave me the additional height needed to lay the plywood down. In the winter my heating bill was cut by 30% and now I’ll see the difference in the summer shortly (it’s May 10 in Long Island NY and still high 50s). My AC will definitely cool my 2800 SQ. Ft home faster and keep it cooler for longer periods

That fan you installed has 1/3 of it not even over the vent. Poor workmanship.

I belive you should have an additional attic fan on the opposite side so that youre not trying to blow air from a sealed room... its better to have two so that you are pulling in air on one side and pushing it and the dreadful 180 degree air and moisture gets pushed out. Got to have air flow bro

yall putting ac units in the attic??

Where are you located? I’m in Bonita Springs Florida. I like to do one attic fan.

So far, so good! I installed this fan yesterday. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh I've been watching a continuous radon monitor in my house for about a week, and the levels have been running between 4.5 and 7.9 pCi/L. Shortly after I installed this fan, the radon level started dropping, and in less than 24 hours since I installed it, the level is now 1.9. My basement is approximately 2,000 square feet. Total home square footage above basement is approximately 4,000 square feet. The noise level so far is very quiet. Mine is installed indoors, so I had to purchase a cord and connector. If I have any problems later, I'll update my review. But for now, I'm very pleased with it.Update after 48 hours: Using a constant monitor, my radon is now fluctuating between 0.38 and 0.45 pCi/L. I've moved the monitor to my basement and am getting a constant 0.43 reading. After 24 hours, and when I know the weather will be safe, I'll place the monitor outside for about 12 hours. I'm thinking that the 0.38 to 0.45 may be the outside "ambient" radon level. I'm using this monitor (purchased from Amazon): Corentium Home Radon Detector by Airthings 223

That fan will not draft properly with that open vent beside it .

Did you run separate circuit for those fans or tap in on circuit

I was seriously considering installing one in my attic, however, when I touch the ceiling on a really hot day, I don't feel any warmth. This means the attic fan won't hardly make any difference in making the house cooler, right?

Any AC putting out a paltry 72-78 degrees needs to be fixed or replaced. It will run far too much and raise your bill sky high.

Question: can you use that air seal on the can lights too? And what air seal did you use ? Thank you

Thank you Easy understandable video

Yaa..pull the 140 degree air past your unit..better to pull the outside air past it ..

Dumb question, why have the AC in the hottest place in the house?

why put a air conditioner in the attic get that thing outta there!

Could you just put a floor fan up there?

Very good video, this is a Great way to cool an attic. Thank You

Sadly- if your ceiling and walls and vents leak air from the interior (which they all do from <10-30%) You will be sucking air from soffits and unfortunately the home interior. If you have a greater volume sucked for outside- it will be better.

i put an old square fan in the bathroom cubbyhole access on the cieling. the old 100 plus year old house was unbearable in the evening. it must have been 20C warmer inside even though it was nice and cool in the evenings outside. so i slapped this fan, it fit perfectly as if it was made for this opening and it made a huge divference, the next evening it was nice and cool, i let it run all day and amazingly enough, i rarely had to run my two portable ACs during the day. this thing took the air from the main living area and expelled it which incidently was just off the kitchen. i googled old house fixes and venting old house attics and immediately came up with the term "whole house fan" and the fact that this system has been around for 100 years, since electricity was invented. i asked people about it, they never heard the term but immediately seized on the idea. all day the roofing tiles heat up and transfer this heat down into the living area in the evening especially you can notice the difference obviously. i saved on two 1200 watt AC, simple 180sq ft ACs. for a 20 dollar fan for five summers but the comfort was priceless. i couldnt believe it when others never heard about this solution, and simply just cranked the ACs up. i told everyone i knew.

Great info, thank you

Hello I'm getting ready to install a fan similar to that i have two attic vents like the one in video side by side do i need to cover the other attic vent with ply wood and just have one with the fan over it to maximize flow or is it ok to just put the fan over one vent like you did in this video and leave the other vent uncovered ? please advise thank you

I still dont know why my house gets hot, the heat is coming out from the vents. I got new insulation added and new windows to whole house. I'm assuming they cover the holes in the attic. So I dont know what else to do. Any suggestions. ? Thank you in advance. I'm in temecula California by the way.

Please let me know

How much to install need one

But what if you use window units will this help?

I see a potential error - or at least something that wasn't addressed... The AC unit doesn't take hot attic air and cool it, it recyles already cooled air from the home interior. That said, cooling the ceiling by cooling the attic is likely worthwhile. At the very least, it can make things more pleasant for the AC repair guy who will inevitably have to service that equipment. Hope the fan is resiliently mounted so that the hum it makes, doesn't transmit into the house.

I want to put exactly those pieces in my attic. Can you list the parts that you used for this project, specifically the attic fan model and the window pieces you used?

Shabbat Shalom nice video

If you live in a hot climate and have a vented roof an attic fan is a waste of money. 98 degrees outside would only mean you are pulling 98 degree air back into your attic and also pulling conditioned air out of the house.......

Any Air Flow Is Better Than No Airflow !!!

Very Short & Concise , Very Helpful ; Thankyou!

This is crazy!

They should've interviewed the boogeyman while they were up there.

I think the craziest thing my company has pulled out of an attic has been an armadillo here in Florida. I had to physically remove a possum from a crawlspace but that’s a bit different

Ok but i need a video on “how to build the courage to even go up there”

Get rid of rodents without killing them. Because killing them isn't bright at ALL!

Do you have any hard data of the sort of temperature decrease one can expect when installing an attic fan?

I have gable vents at each end of my house and when my new roof was installed a continuous ridge cap vent was added but the house still gets hot. Would it be beneficial to add an attic fan to both gable vents?

Good info. Thanks friend.

If that's the best install this company can do, I'm calling someone else.
