You could but for that job there are better choices like a whole house attic fan.

I agree with idget. Unless you already have one of these, I'd look for a product designed for horizontal mounting. You could also just passively vent hot air into the attic and use this fan (at an attic gable vent for example) or your existing attic ventilation to send the heat from the attic to the outside.

I mounted the fan in my garage attic, and it cooled down my garage a whole lot.. the best thing I did for a very cheep price.

Hello, About your installation I believe you are suppose to have a one hour fire wall between the main part of the house and the garage, in case a fire breaks out in the garage. If you punch a hole in the ceiling you will defeat the purpose of the fire protection. Now if inside the attic area of the garage there is a one hour fire wall separating the main house from the garage then you might be ok. But all you will be moving is the air in that section only. I believe it's against the code to to punch a hole in the one hour fire wall. For your protection you should ask a contractor in your area or the building department.

That sounds good, consider where your make up air is going to come from. Without a good free flow source of make up air, you will notget much flow. Perhaps you have a shady and low and cool side of the house where you can add a vent for make up air. The opening for the make up air should be approximately the same square inches as the fan.

I would think it would need to be mounted to the supply duct so that it blows through the house with the rest of the hot air from the furnace.

I wouldn't. The fan is very weak and probably wouldn't put out enough air for what you're trying to do.

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

You could mount them almost any where. You could use a standard plug in light timer and just leave the fan on in manual mode. you wouldn't have much need for the thermostat controller. You might contact the cooler guy's and see if they have a timer controller. These fans are really quiet I've had them running for a year no problems'

If you have space with higher ceilings, you could use inside. The blower sounds like an old box style fan on high.

No way, this is an indoor fan only. There are some good outdoor fans at Lowes.com

We put this in a converted garage (now a home bar). We installed a smaller fan, but that didn't clear away cigar smoke. There is no attic above the ceiling there, so I believe that you can replace less efficient fans with this model with no attic access necessary.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

Possibly, but I don't think the manufacturer intended it to be mounted that way. You'd need to contrive a way to keep it from falling out of the duct opening. As well, there usually is no electrical outlet nearby at the ceiling level. Better might be to get a different kind of unit, such as an In-line booster, with an air pressure switch to sense when the furnace fan comes on. Trickier to install, but more likely to do the job correctly.

That is exactly what I did. BUT, it must be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated location. I would NOT recommend mounting it under the hood or anywhere where it could be exposed to water or humidity. I mounted mine on the inside wall behind the cabin. Keep in mind also that if the walls sweat, be careful that any power cables or wires attached to it do not allow a path for water droplets to travel down the wire to the unit. I once had a single drop of water ride down a power cable and drop into the vents. There was some crackling sounds and the inverter wouldn't drive anything like fans for about a day until it dried out. It's a tough little inverter that has forgiven me for a ton of stupid stuff, but I wouldn't recommend pushing your luck. Great little inverter. Won't drive a microwave oven since it's a modified sine unit, but it works great for my laptop, lights, TV, Xbox, refrigerator, alarm clock, coffee maker, coffee cup warmer, iPhone charger, power drill, fans...

Mary, as long as there is lots of ventilation , we have ours in the garage , there is a certain amount of smoke that's comes out the vent on top, adjust the vent to hold in the smoke and enjoy .. I would have to say Yes ,, as always just be safe ..

Sure, but you might want to put a speed control on ..it pulls a lot of air..might be a little noisy too unless you mount it above the ceiling

There is a pull chain that controls the on/off and fan speed. We have our fan mounted in the garage from the ceiling. It is provides a very good airflow and would likely be too strong indoors if run on high speed. I do love the fan. I wish I would have bought it years ago.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

I don't think that would work very well, but I guess you could build something to mount it. You would need to make sure it has enough ventilation or it will burn up.

This is outdoor only. It has to be in an exterior open aired space. No interior garage installation allowed. that would vent harmful exhaust into the garage. They sell the indoor unit and will require proper venting flue. Both indoor and outdoor units are great!
