Think it would work in an attic (max temp 110 F)?

No. The power supply in this unit produces a little heat itself, and I would NOT suggest installing in an attic. First summer it was in there it would die for sure.

I would buy a fan to keep on it in the summer but usually circuitry is pretty heat resistant.

Mine has been in an attic since I purchased it, and I'm sure it's seen well over 110 F since it went up there. You'd have to check the specs to see if it is within the approved temperature range for warranty purposes, but this thing is built like a tank so I think there's a good chance it will be fine.

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

I am not 100% sure but like most attic thermostats it runs roughly 90-180 degrees.

I installed one in a 1500 sq ft attic and it did cool our house. I did some temperature measurements before and after and estimated it cooled our house in summer by 5 degrees. I also purchased the add on thermostat, so the fan is never on in winter as the attic never reaches a warm enough temperature for it to switch on.

Works great in California. 110 heat is no prob but this will be my first winter coming up. If it's covered from rain and built into one of the house walls I would give it a shot.

468 Volt-amps with a .85 PF ought to consume about 400W/hr. Power companies usually charge more in the summer months than winter, as high as 14c/KWH (including taxes). So, youre looking at 5.6 cents/hr. It would be interesting to know how many degrees cooler it maintains your attic. If a 10% drop in the difference between attic and interior temperatures, then expect a 10% drop in heat gain (BTU's per hour)

That would depend on the outside temperature, height of the ceiling and thickness of home insulation. I turn on air-conditioning when it's 84F outside, so I haven't experimented with heating any room to that temperature, however I can get my similar-sized room with a 12-ft. ceiling (at the peak) up to 70F on a chilly day. I wouldn't want to use these heaters as a main heat source under extreme conditions--at least not for long, and use mine as back-up assistance to our LP gas furnace in winter as well as for taking the chill off on cold spring or fall mornings.

It would likely be something you'd have to play with a little. Ex: if recipe calls for 220° cooking temp, you may need to go to 240-250° in order for the temperature to be where you need due to the outside temperatures. I wouldn't recommend using it inside because it does give off a lot of smoke, unless you have some sort of exhaust system in your garage or something along those lines. Hope that helps!!

Yes. It would be a very powerful range hood. You would probably have to wire it to a separate wall switch or something too. It's a large fan too, so it's not going to fit inside a wall or anything. If your range vent pipe is in your attic you could make it work. It is probably overkill unless you have a very serious range hood.

Yes, this fan can be mounted in an attic and is very reliable even in high temperatures.

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.

Assuming you are insulating underside, this product should work well. I used it to insulate the attic and worked well. Follow the directions spray evenly.

It could be, don't know that it would work as good. I hooked it up inside just to try it and it didn't work great. Not sure what it would work like in the attic, maybe it would of been ok. I reLly needed to get the height because of trains and semis.

This particular fan is mainly sold, designed, & intended for crawl space use. Although it's possible that it might work in an attic,there is a better alternative. Both Lowe's & I believe that Home Depot might carry exactly what is specifically designed for attic use. Lowe's carries both gable mounted & through the roof fans that have both a thermostat & a humidistat for removing heat or humidity from the attic. Normally the thermostat is set somewhere between 90 & 100 degrees & the humidistat is set somewhere between 60 & 70 percent. Both adjustments can be changed to suit the user & particular conditions in your attic. I have a through the roof model in one house & a gable mounted fan in the other & both do a fantastic job! The gable mounted fan is a little easier to install. I think either one of these fans would-be a better choice & do a better job than a crawl space fan! I hope this information has been helpful to you.

If the temp is below 50 degrees, this thing will warm the garage slightly...however, it will not work well in a colder garage.

it will cool 500 sq ft. saying the temp outside is over 95 degrees. 1000 sq ft is way too much for any window type that is 110v

Yes, It would work within your attic. We would recommend that you use two and set it on a solid surface.
