iLIVING HYBRID Ready Smart Thermostat Solar Roof Attic Exhaust Fan, 14", 40-Watt, 1150 CFM, 2000 Coverage Area, Black

I installed the variable speed controller and 14” blade exhaust fan in my attic at the beginning of Dec, which was a much nicer installation as the attic temperature was much cooler than normal as the outside temperature was much lower. Once I had mounted the fan high up on an outside wall that already had a (shutter) vent. I only needed to have a 120vAC outlet to plug in the fan controller. Overall I found the insulation easy and was very pleased with this product quality which has worked flawlessly since, very pleased I purchased this fan.Since the fan was installed I have noticed a big difference in the attic temperature and have saved money on my utility bill because my AC unit is not running as much as it was before the fan was installed.The fan is not too loud either, quieter than I originally thought it would be when the fan is running. However, I did decide to mount the fan on rubber (shock absorber) anti-vibration pads (purchased separately) to help with any vibration, noise from the surrounding wood framing where the fan was mounted.Normally I keep my AC at 72 deg F, so by exhausting the very hot attic air (Max 150 degrees F) that’s in my attic, which transfers heat through the ceiling into living spaces below. My AC doesn't need to come on as early in the day and shuts down sooner in the evening.Overall I am glad I made this decision to install this fan in my attic and very happy with this purchase.

I installed this exhaust fan in my ranch style home this past May, it is now November. I am so glad I did, but I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I saved significantly on my cooling costs this year. My utility company had estimated my electrical usage over the summer and did an actual meter just over 2 months ago. My AC usage went down so much that my bill has been zero for the past 2 months. This fan has more than paid for itself in just one season! My cooling costs are at least 1/3 lower.The iLiving fan was easy to install and has worked flawlessly. It is not too loud either. The only thing I did notice was air buffeting at the intake side of the fan. But this is due more to the installation and gable vent's ability to pass air than the fan itself. I've considered adding a 3 foot length of duct to the intake side of the fan shroud to stabilize the air flow, which should make it more efficient.Typically I keep my AC at 76- 78 degrees, a little lower if it is very humid. By exhausting the hot attic air that transfers heat through the ceiling into living spaces, my AC doesn't need to come on as early in the day and shuts down sooner in the evening.

Living on the top floor of an old house has always meant dealing with extreme heat in the summer. The space heats up so quickly, and even though we added extra insulation when we moved in, it didn’t completely resolve the issue. The top floor would still become unbearably hot, making it difficult to enjoy the space. After researching solutions, I decided to try this solar-powered attic fan, and I’m so glad I did.Installation was straightforward, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it works. The fan has improved ventilation in the attic space between the ceiling and roof rafters, which was previously a major source of heat buildup. Since the fan started running, our top floor has stayed significantly cooler, even on the hottest days. The fan’s solar power is a great bonus since it runs efficiently without increasing our energy costs.The difference has been night and day. The temperature on the top floor is much more comfortable now, and the fan works quietly without being intrusive. It has made a huge difference in maintaining a livable temperature throughout the summer, and I’m really happy with the investment. If you're dealing with similar heat issues in an old house or a poorly ventilated attic, this fan is definitely worth considering—it’s a practical and effective solution.

Perfect fit and working well. Very quiet compared to the one it replaced.

The old one was very noisy also broke down stopped working within a year. This new one is very nice and quiet.What our family likes most is that it can adjust the temperature and turn it on and off automatically.

I used this as a replacement for a roof vent fan. Worked great all summer, no noise in room below. If it wasn't for the cooling, I wouldn't even know it was there.

It was easy to install. Just make sure you use a roofers caulking. I used M1 it's usually what solar installers use for flashing and attachments.

Really bad purchase, the unit was bought brand new and started to get the known humming sound early in the morning. When I contacted the company to see what they could do the only option that was given was return it back for inspection. Once they received it they said everything looked fine and thier conclusion was it was the following "Our technitian take a look at the unit and tested, the unit works fine without noise and the blades move freely".Once I received it the exact same sound was originating from the unit. I told the Customer Service Dept. the unit was defective from the very beginning even before they received the defective product.I would never buy from this company again as they do not stand by thier products and even if you go through warranty they will just "inspect it" and send you back the exact same unit back defective and makes loud noises that will wake you up from sleep.
