Working Fine after Two Summers,
These types of fans should be long lasting (it replaced one that was 13 years old and that may still have a few years left in it) and this one seems to be on track to do that.
I highly recommend a thermostatically controlled fan such as this for attics with limited ventilation. The temperature difference between a poorly vented attic and the outside air on a summer afternoon is very high, and much of that heat will radiate into your living space. I installed this myself (I’m no handyman and took about three times as long as a pro or talented amatuer would). Tip – You may need to build a frame to hold the fan (or add a could of cross-beams for support). If you build a frame, consider attaching it to the fan before installing both in the attic.

I installed this in my attic to better ventilate on non-windy days when the temperatures can hit 125F or higher. I agree with another poster that you really should set the thermostat using a thermometer. So go buy a wired remote thermometer where you can run the wire up through the attic access hole. I found mine is roughly 5 degrees off from the dial. The other thing I noticed is that since the thermostat is in a metal housing, it takes quite a while after the target temp is past (mine is coming on at around 105F) for the fan to cool the thermostat down to the point where it will kick off. Mine generally is kicking on around noon or 1 pm and kicking off sometime in the early evening. The other day it was 90F outside and the fan kept the attic a stable 107F until around 4 pm (neighbor’s tree shades the roof) when temperatures started to fall, kicking off at 7pm and around 95F (and then temps quickly shot back up to 100F). The unit itself is quiet and I can only hear the barest of hums when it is in operation. I expect this will save quite a bit of money, make the AC’s job easier, and prolong the life of my roof.
