Are these enough to cool off a hot attic

The key will likely be do you have enough ventilation...It does not include a thermostat, so something with one might be a better idea.It does have a much stronger motor than most permanently mounted fans that I've seen...

As long as you have another window to open elsewhere in the attic, they move a lot of air really fast. i have mine in an upstairs window and if i have a couple of windows open on the other side of the house i only have to turn the fan on for 15 minutes and by then all the air in the house has been swapped out with cool fresh air from out side, (i run mine 15 minutes a night and draw the cool air inside instead of using an air conditioner.

Yes, it will do an impressive job of cooling the attic for a year or two. They move lots of air. The problem is that even with just occasional use, I had three of them fail in about a year and a half. My air Kings from 20 years ago were great fans that would last over a decade. These new Air King fans look identical to the older ones, but I presume they are made in China. The bearings are junk, and don't last. After a couple of years, it will be cheaper to have bought a good quality attic fan for two or three times the price. My attic fan that moves about the same amount of air is 25 years old and going strong. It would have taken a dozen "Air Kings" for that service life.

This is a very powerful fan ... much more so then a standard attic ventilator fan. If you put it in a window pulling/blowing air out with another window open to let air in for cross flow, I'm sure it would cool a attic very quickly. Remember it will only get as cool as the outside that it is pulling in. If it's 85 outside than it can make your attic any cooler than that.

As long as you have ventilation. It pulls air from my 2nd floor window through the 1st and 2nd floor, and if I close the windows on the 1st floor, I get a nice breeze through my 2nd floor window on the opposite side of the house from the fan. And it's worth noting that it is several years old and still going strong.

depends on the size of the attic. If you have a vent at one and, and exhaust air with this fan at the other end, a normal size attic should cool significantly. Even better, and intake fan at one and an exhaust at the other!

These generate a good amount of heat. If you're putting them in a waterproof fixture, you need to make sure they don't overheat considering the sealed container. I would think it is best to verify with the manufacturer.

We haven't used them with that high of heat, however it seems like the Manufacturer says they can be used up to 500 degrees. I would recommend posing that question to the Manufacturer.

Yes you can rewarm. They can be closed enough to accomplish heating them up.

Not recommended, they will sweat and get soft. Ideally they should go on a rack where the air can flow around them while they cool off. Hope that helps!! =)

I hope they do, that is why I bought them. I just have not hooked them up yet. Since I don't have heat in the building I'm working on right now, they don't work in below 0 F temp.

No, you want to make sure your house is insulated properly. This is to exhaust the attic of heat.

Yes.. I have an open porch with skylights with two fans up high. On warm days they circulate the air great! I also have wall mounted heaters, and so on cold days I turn the heaters on and the fans blow the warm air down! I've had them in place for a year now and they continue to work great.

I believe these are so cost effective to use, that it would , but why risk any pipes freezing if the cold happened to fast? I would get them, and test themm out to see if they do what you want. I have a garage that i transformed into my master bed room, 2 1/2 car size and they do what we need, we also have the furnace on but it doesn't really blow that strong in there, but were cozy. just make sure you hear the click when you turn it on, the oil needs to heat up. there is no smell at all, my cats lay by it, even if I say no

They do not get hot. But they do require a transformer which may get hot. I am using them in a kitchen exhaust hood which already had a transformer built in.

I've had three of these for over a year (and doing a great job) and while they do get warm near the lights, I don't think I would classify them as hot. That said, I also don't have anything around them so they get plenty of air.

Yes Id say so. I use them to cool amps on an amp rack and they move a lot of air

I would not recommend it. They are thin plastic and would not hold up to much heat.

I use these in my greenhouse. I wouldn't use them in my home as they put out heat
1576417
Yes I would let the product cool some .... I used them for something similar though the salve I made was fairly warm it was not boiling or super hot and they worked great

These are great cabinet fans to remove heat from electronics, but to remove heat from a whole room I don't believe these will do the job.

Yes, the temperature probably should be above about 50 degrees. Higher would be better. I installed mine when the outside temperature was about 80. They are real well stuck.
