iLiving New Upgraded 10" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation, 65 Watts, 820 CFM, 1200 SQF Coverage Area

I could not reach my gable area of the home as it was too tight. My home has four (4) existing static air vents that are about 14 inches in diameter in the roof of the home so that air can naturally flow up from the vents in the eves and out the roof by simple physics of heat rising. But that really is not that optimal and never has been for any home. I have searched for any forced air electrical unit that could be installed below one of those static vents and force a lot more air out of the attic through the roof. There is nothing on the market. I am an engineer, so I just took the time to research enough gable vents to find the right one and this is it. What is important to know is that most gable vents have a high CFM (Cubic Ft Per Minute) of airflow of around 1600-2500. Forcing that much air into a static roof vent will cause a venturi effect due to the inability of the roof vent to accommodate that much air flow. This actually causes more noise. This is why I chose this unit. Much smaller, 820 CFM, easy to install and comes with a rheostat to control the speed of the fan in case the existing static roof vent cannot accept that much air flow. I found that the unit works just fine on full speed of 820 CFM and there is absolutely no noise at all. The unit is ultra quiet. If anyone plans to do the same thing I have done, just get the unit without the rheostat and only the thermostat and save the money. It will work without any noise if you have a decent size existing roof static vent. IMPORTANT INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: In order for this to work, you will need to install two 2 X 4's between the roof joists 10.5" inches apart and centered over the hole that was cut for the existing roof static vent (photos included). Then two more 2 X 4's between the two I just mentioned, and once again, 10.5 inches apart and centered over the existing hole for the static roof vent. This creates a 10.5" inch square box. The 2 X 4's need to be mounted upright (not flat) so there is a 3.5" inch deep square to insert this new attic fan. YOU MUST REMOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTTER that comes with the fan. Very simple and only has 3 screws that hold it in place on each side of the fan. Now you have just a fan and a square metal box that holds the fan. Screw that metal box into the 10.5" inch wooden square you framed as mentioned above. Then plug the unit in using the 6ft long cord and you are done. If you do not have a plug nearby, you can use an extension cord. But the extension cord should be a 3 prong grounded plug since the cord that comes on the fan is a 3 prong plug. I have enclosed photos. Very easy to do and took me less than an hour start to finish, and I also ran wiring and installed an outlet to plug into. One of the photos is of the rheostat that comes with this unit. It has a 3 prongs on the rear to plug directly into an outlet and the cord from the fan plugs into the bottom of this rheostat. The manufacturer of this unit give you no information to know that or the length of the cord, among other things. This is why my review is so long. Now you should know everything so you can do this yourself. My plan is to add another one at the other end of the house since the home is quite large. Already making a difference in the amount of heat in my attic.

worked great for a exhaust fan for a sandblaster room. lasted quite awhile of abuse great little fan!

This exhaust fan is perfect for my chicken coop - I even recommended it to my sister, and she bought one for her coop also. I love the thermostat that turns the fan on as needed. So far, the fan has worked perfectly in the summer, fall, and winter. The fan is very well made and quiet! I recommend this product. I hope you find my review helpful!

I bought this for a cooling fan in my new chicken coop (blowing air INTO the coop). It's well made, so framing it in was a very simple. The noise level is acceptable. The louvers are opened by the force of air, and thus close via gravity when the fan turns off. I did purchase the iLiving Fan Remote Control unit with this, which thus far is working exceptionally well. As this model fan is capable of variable speeds, the Remote controller can program the fan to turn on at any temperature that I choose, as well as regulate the fan speed when the temperature setpoint is very close to the desired value. So far, both the fan and the Remote Controller have been worth very penny.

I just installed the 10” fan for my 9x9 greenhouse. I really like this little unit. It seems to have a good fan variable speed, and pushes a fair amount of air at the high end. Bought the thermostat plug so I don’t have to man the fan myself. I can be at work and not worry about the greenhouse getting too hot. I hope it lasts a long time because I framed it all in nicely.

Considering the cost, I was afraid this would be cheaply made. I was really surprised by how well it’s made! The thermostat works great, fan moves a lot of air only drawing 64 watts. The louvre is heavy (well made) and works very smoothly. Honestly, they should charge more for this fan.

This fan works perfectly for my application. After prepping the rough opening, it took about 30 minutes to install. The most important advise I can offer is that when doing the rough in that you cut your opening to the specs for you particular model as per the instruction manual. If the opening is too tight it may cause the louvers to bind up and not close properly. I mounted mine from the inside so that the louvers would be flush on the outside of the building. I chose to purchase and use the ILG8SFRC Exhaust Fan Remote Control Kit. it has a built in variable speed control, temp control setting, and humidistat. Very convenient to be able to control operation from a very advanced remote. I'll include a short video on simple installation. Note: a pigtail for the fan is included with the remote control kit (sold separately). Update: install complete with remote control. Excellent product. Simple install and eliminates the need for separate humidistat, temp, and speed control.

I installed this in my chicken coop. My coop size is a 8x16 shed for reference. We insisted it where there was an existing vent on the side by the roof. It want to difficult to install but I hand my handyman install it for me and I helped. Once installed, it just plugs into a standard outlet. It comes with a control that plugs into an outlet also. Turn control has a thermostat and fan sorted dial. I have it set for 74 degrees and medium fan speed. So when the temp rises above 74, the fan will kick on and turn off when the temp falls below 74. Before I got this fan, the cool smell was horrible and the flies were bad. After I got it plugged in, it drew a lot of the smell out quickly and the flutes weren’t as bad. This is my first time using an exhaust fan in my coop and I can’t believe I waited this long. It is a game changer. The cord length is a decent length but I still had to get an extension cord to reach my outlet. It has really good power in the motor but isn’t too loud. It looks good on the outside and it is priced well for all the features it has.

I have been running this fan almost constantly for one year now to vent out my garage to avoid humidity and it works great ! Nice and smooth and if it fails, it's cheap and I'll just throw another one in. Looking to also put one in my attic to vent out the heat in the summer.

Poca resistencia a la grasa en el aire de una cocina. Requiere mantenimiento continuo y rápidamente pierde su velocidad máxima.

Good quality, electroplated steel, can't comment on noise level yet as am still installing in shed. Only thing missing is a bug screen but it was easy to take the shutter off and add this myself with a piece of fiberglass mesh.

Works very well. Included thermostat and speed control is very handy.
