Quiet Register Booster Fan Fits 6" x 10" Register Holes, 10-Speed Smart Heating Cooling AC Vent Fan with Remote Control and Thermostat Control - White

I have grown to love these... if you want a little boost, you can get them down to quite quiet, if you need to pull more air it can do that too, and still quite manageable. I like how it turns on and off when the a/c or heat is on! The casing is attractive, and the display turns off when you're not using it (so no extra light in the room when trying to sleep). Good job folks. Simple, reliable and attractive.

It's ok, doesnt have as much power as we were hoping. We will see in the summer of it does what we want it to do.

I have an upstairs that runs too warm all summer. It's big room with one vent fed by at least a 15 foot run of 12" duct. I had been planning to sever the duct and install an inline duct fan up in the attic and either use an expensive pressure switch or tap into the thermostat wire with a relay, but this vent register booster is a much easier to install and less expensive solution - and it's working pretty well! Plugging it in is the only tricky part, but I was able to plug it in up in the attic so no cord is visible. I took my old vent register off and I probed around the edges with one of those wiring fishing rods until I found a gap where the rod could push up into the attic. Then I climbed up in the attic, plugged it into an outlet up there and then taped the end of the cord to the rod so I could pull it back down into the room. The AC register booster has a short 6 inch lead attached to it, and the rest of the wire connects to that. It's obviously heavier than a plain vent register, so it was bit difficult to install because I had to use both hands to hold the register up there and connect the wire and then reach for the screw and screwdriver to fasten it in place without letting go of anything. The thermostat measures the air in the duct so that you can set it a temperature below the normal room temperature, but above the temperature you're reading in the vent when the AC is on and it will turn the fans on only once the cold air starts coming through. Mine started off reading 68ºF in the duct, but after a while I checked it again and the reading was 66º, so I figure it's pulling the cool air through the duct faster and not allowing it to heat up in that long duct in the attic. I still need to replace my AC system, but I can tell that this room is noticeably more comfortable after installing this inexpensive solution first.

Our master bedroom is over our garage. Even though the garage is insulated, for the past 5 winters of living in this home, The bedroom has easily been 5° colder than the rest of the house. We have a nest thermostat and we have a second thermostat sensor in the bedroom. I would say that we got and installed both of these fans by mid-month Jan and you can see how much the energy use has gone down overall since. We did have a few very cold days this past week so take that into account but the temperature has stayed consistently within a degree or the same as the rest of the house since we started using the fan vents. We tried another brand first that had more technical bells and whistles but I find this one to be quieter and easier to set. I have the fan set 5, and it remains fairly quiet. I set the cold to off and I set the heat to kick on when it tracks below 70 in the vent. We are an all-electric home on a heat pump so I suspect if you had gas heat you would set it on a higher setting but with a heat pump, it's only using the recirculated air anyway so I set it lower than recommended. For our electric bill, the goal is to try to avoid the auxiliary heat kicking on. I am happy we have been able to do that barely successfully. It used to be that every night in the middle of the night when it was at its coldest we would use a ton of power. Just trying to maintain the temperature. It's a fairly large room about 10x 20 and we have two vents that are right near the windows and the edge of the garage, which would probably be the coldest part of the house. These are what we put the fan vents in. The other two vents are tucked away in the ensuite bathroom, and the walkin closet. Even though they keep those places warm, they don't put a lot of heat out into the room. These have been a game changer for us and I haven't done comparisons with our heating bill yet, but I expect it will help based on what our sense monitor is saying. I am just so happy to be able to shut the door up here and not freeze and not worry about using a space heater and to have this room stay the same temperature as the whole house. Definitely worth it!

I want to improve cooling on the 2nd floor. My house has one central air conditioner with ducts and one controller on the main floor. I installed 3 register fans, one in each bedroom on the 2nd floor of a 2 storey house. Cooling on the 2nd floor has improved. These register fans are quiet on speed settings 1 to 5. Build quality looks good.
