Will this make a wall mounted gable fan turn on once it gets hot enough in the garage?

Follow up to my previous answer the part # for the temperature rise plug is TC-21
1516469
No, it is designed to turn on heat at 35 degrees and off once it reaches 45 degrees. We use it in our well house to prevent the pipes from freezing in the winter and it works quite well.

been doing that for an window fan I have in my small attic. Will probably run a lot more than you think it will though, I am moving mine to a more central recepticle
1516471
It works in reverse, it turns on when it gets below 35 dog, to keep the water from freezing
1516472
No! TC-3 is on at 35 and off at 45 degrees...but there are others that will function as you need. YOu must make sure you get the correct one.
1516473
Yes the TC 21 is on at 78 and off at 70 degrees.Yes the TC 22 is on at 120 and off at 100 degrees. Both will work on a gable fan. You just need to decide which one you want.

No it will not, this is for cold the red one is for temperature rise LR 62347-1 will work for temperature rise. 120 volts up to 15 amps.

I would like to do nearly the same thing. I would like to replace the wall switch with an automated relay switch (on/off)-- then control the fan with a handheld remote. I am trying to find out if this will work. Has anybody tried this?

Yes. The first one I had came with an attic fan. The function as the temp rises just close the circuit, just like any other switch. A great simple device.

You have to wire it into the fan before mounting. I chose not to use that feature because my house is wired with light and fan switches.

Depends on your install. If the hot wire is switched it will. Recommend you do it that way. Great product works well.

I don't think so. I live in CA and due to the changes in the weather I need one to be able to control the fan depend on the weather

Could be triggered by hot temperatures in your garage. Mine is installed in the laundry room and kicks on when I have the heat/AC moving the air around in the room.

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

If your ceiling fan operates off of a light switch, then it should work perfectly.

It might, as long as you can get good sun on the solar panel (i.e. location not shaded by roof overhang). I'm not sure how much you can tilt the panel relative to the fan (design is for roof pitch, not a 90 degree wall). I'd experiment with it a bit before punching any holes in the gable--you can always send it back if it doesn't work.

This heater works well with its fan blowing the heat, but how well for a garage will depend on how large your garage and it's placement, I would think. Good luck.

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

Not if you have an outlet. If there's no outlet then run an extension cord or have an electrician put in an outlet close to the location you wish to mount the fan.

I plan to have mine professionally installed and connected to a wall switch as part of my kitchen renovation. I like the look and quality of this fan. I plan to replace the candelabra lights with mini CFL if they are not bright enough.

Yes, if you hook the fan to a thermostat, it will run the fan alone when the room is at the proper temperature, and engage the heat element as needed.

This thermostat is basically just a switch. It works on 120 and 240 Volt heaters so the fan load would not be a problem. But this thermostat is "on" (switch closed) when there is a demand for more heat. I assume you want to cool the house by use of the attic fan! So, this thermostat will not work in its current configuration.

You would have to wire it up and it would, but remember to always have it connected to a heat sink
