30 in. 2 speed Belt Drive Whole House Fan Review

I grew up with house fans, and this one worked just the way I remember it. Open a few windows, turn the fan on and... a lot of air gets sucked in the open windows. It's great on cool evenings after a hot day. Small children passing too close to the windows are liable to get sucked through when this thing is on. It's not too noisy either. It does make noise, but the belt drive system seems to help make it run quieter. I wouldn't instal it in the middle of the living room, but it's not loud enough to disturb you if you put it in a hallway. I will say that the shutters are a little cheap. But they work the way they are supposed to. They close when the fan is off, to what looks like a mostly air tight seal.

30" Direct Drive Wholehouse Fan Review

This direct drive whole house fan took the place of a belt drive and the new fan is very, very powerful.When there are those middle temp days when it is nice out, but the air in the house is still and warm, we pop this on and leave the A/C units off.It makes all the difference.In this instance, you have one motor going, and not drawing anything like an A/C compressor, and the whole house is cool.Great deal more efficient.

36 in. Heavy Duty High Volume 2 Speed Belt Drive Whole House Fan Review

This is my same review as the 30" version of this fan, they are both identical except for the size of course.

One star off for the cheap louvers, however there are upgraded aluminum extruded avaliable for a few dollars more. Now this is not a whisper quiet fan, it is however much quieter then the unit The Home Depot sells. You will know this fan is running so avoid placement near family/living/bedrooms. This unit comes with a high and low switch in decora style and have found it to be of good quality. Other then a set or two of louvers that got damaged during shipping I've had zero problems with all the units I have installed, and knock on wood have not had to replace a single motor. I find the motor supplied with this fan should last 10-15 years depending on how much you run the fan. I would highly avoid DIYers attempting an installation unless you have a good concept of framing and electrical as you will need to remove a joist to install this fan, the only exception would be if you got a set of truss style louvers and had an additional attic access hole large enough to fit this fan. The packaging the louvers come with have a template to trace onto the ceiling so you know where to cut, my advice when cutting out the template is to cheat inward on the line about 1/8th of an inch so you don't accidentally cut the hole too big. IMO the louver template is just sightly too big. I also recommended a spring round 12 hr timer which can be ganged together with the high/low switch if you know what you are doing. Overall a fantastic product, I'll continue to buy this fan for years to come. For the money it can't be beat.
