andreus009 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I'm looking to install a fan in the ceiling of my garage to suck the hot air out and blow it up into the attic. I've found this thing http://www.coolmygarage.com/shop/gf-14-garage-ventilation-fan-attic-cooler/# but its almost $400. Also, looked at whole house fans which are cheaper (~$300) but are bigger than I need. Anyone know of another more economical fan?

MY1PATH Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Maybe one of these? Not all of them are exactly a mounted fans but much cheaper options none the less...http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/NTESearch?storeId=6970&ipp=24&Ntt=blower%2BfanI'm looking to do the same with my garage to cool it and eliminate fumes when I am doing projects...I only have skinny 14" vents in my garage and I am not allowed to modify it so I will likely be putting one of these up to the vent. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200604585_200604585My work space is 20x20x8 so A 600CFM fan gives me a complete air change every 5.3 min Which is about standard (12 air changes per hour) for automotive and minor fabrication workplaces.Use LxWxH= Area and then Area/Desired Air Change time= to get the CFM you need.For basic ventilation you can go down to about 1/3 of that.

MY1PATH Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Actually, Now I'm looking at this one http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200007224_200007224 with a duct http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200324853_200324853 So I can locate the ventilation to wherever I want in the garage.In theory it would give me an air change every 2 min but I do believe the vent in the garage wall will create some flow restriction so more like 3 min. Hope this was of some help. Edited July 10, 2013 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Check out this site, they have the same type of fan, but simpler and cheaper. http://www.rewci.com/gave.html Search for Twister Exhaust Fan... Thankfully my garage is sheetrocked and insulated with an insulated door so it doesn't really get too warm in there, especially if I open the side door to let it air out at night.
