Can I mount this in the garage above the passage door leading into the house? I do not have enough ceiling space to mount it on the cool side.

I think it may void the warranty. Insects and dust would probably be sucked into the air intake at the top of the unit. Also beware that the auto on/off switch that is included doesn't come with instructions and the company is pretty rude about it when you ask for clarification. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. It should still do the job. I've been using 2 of them for about 3 months now at my business and I love them. I've seen dragonflies try to fly in the building and they immediately get pushed to the ground. Keeping the cold air in and the hot air out isn't 100%, but it definitely helps a lot.

Yes. We mounted ours outside over the door to the back porch. Works great! We got it mainly as a "doggie door". Keeps the hot out and the cool in. Keeps the bugs out and I can leave the door open enough for the dogs to go in and out. We are very happy with it.

You have a couple of options. It can be mounted on horizontal siding. They do make a preformed mounting block if its new construction. If not you can mount it against the siding and caulk the gaps or its going to fill up with flies. Another option is to get a small scrap of siding and install it upside down making a flat area behind the light.As far as the light I still have no complaints. Well built out of quality material.

It could be mounted from a ceiling. Highly recommend finding a stud and using a lag bolt with washers. You may have to trim the power switch pull chain so it doesn't hang in the fan cage.

Yes you can. That's an ideal spot because it is protected partialy From The Elements. Mine is installed right above garage door and it get rain on and it works perfectly. And my other is installed like the way you want to do it. If your roof line and soffit are above 2nd floor you may want to adjust your distance and sensitivity levels to Max. Hope this helps. Is scares car door Checkers Every time. As for the light bulb issue. The one that comes with it will burnout fast because of package handling in transportation and stocking. I bought a new one and installed instead of the one they supplied. I have 2 of these light one is 5 yrs old. Yes you can. That's an ideal spot because it is protected partialy From The Elements.

I believe you can. I had an electrician install, and it seems to me that he let me choose the length that it would be from the ceiling.

You can install it with a ceiling above it. I have found it works really well in comparison to other fan models. It can even be done with no damage to the drywall. The unit is built to come apart. The silver side comes off so you can make all your connections first. Then push it up in the ceiling, take the black box and push that in the hole, screw it in place, snap the silver peice back on, put the trim kit on, and you have successfully put a fan in without the attic or damaging the drywall.

I mounted mine above my door chime unit. If your chime has a large shroud you might be able to fit it inside. We had a contemporary looking chime so it doesn't stand out above the unit.

Hello Charlene. I would not use this in the Garage with the door closed all the way. I leave my garage door open about one inch. You need to have some air movement due to the CO2 from the exhaust.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

In a gym or a barn maybe. You would need high ceilings and no furniture in a house. Please check the dimensions. I could never use it inside my house. We use it in the yard all the time, and I could put it up in our garage which has a very high ceiling, but I would need to empty it put first.

I couldn't get mine to work, so I never mounted it, but I don't think you can ceiling mount with the one provided.

Yes, you can mount it anywhere within the door frame. If you're putting it in a door everyone uses you may want to check that everyone fits under it before you install.

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

I have it mounted about a foot above the floor, no issues. It's a very self-contained unit so mounting shouldn't matter that much, it's make sure the space in front is clear.

I installed ours on the ceiling near the door. I'm a consumer just like you, so I'm not an expert. If it's a concern, I would call my local Fire Dept. and ask for their imput.Take care!

You will have to mount it to a 2x4 or similar then mount it to ceiling. I would use 2x4 pices to extend Joist then mount strait o. Extentions. Hope this helps ya!
