Does this fan cool down the house when it is hotter outside than inside? I don't get how bringing in hot outside air can cool the house down.

Thank you for your inquiry. The Air King 9166 fan will not cool your home if it hotter outside than inside. It can cool your home when it's cooler outside than inside.

No it does not. Like others have said, towards the end of the day when temps go down outside, and want to bring cooler air into the house, this exhaust fan will do a good job.

The short answer is no. How it works is you turn on the fan later in the day when the house has heated up from all day in the sun. It will bring cool air into the house. It does do a very good job of bringing cool air into the house late in the day. It's a very good product and I recommend it highly.

If outside is cooler, then can pull outside air into the hotter house. Must have windows open. Works best to force hot inside air out of house and open windows in rooms you want to cool down as long as outside air is cooler than inside house air. If outside air is hotter, then wait till later.

If your patio is enclosed it will be great. You will have to sit right in front of it if your patio is open. It does have oscillation in the fan. So that is helpful to cool down everywhere.

Hello! The fan blows a strong amount of air but will only be as cool as your AC setting allows. Hope this information is helpful!

As long as the hose is vented outside to blow the hot air out, it's fine. Mine gets quite warm too, as it pulls the warmth out of the air in the room & moves it outside.

The same way it works outside. You put water in the tank, the water circulates across the corrugated paper in the back and when the air is pulled across, it cools it. But as others have said, it doesn't work near as well as they advertise if you live in a humid area. Expect 4-6* cooler then a regular fan (since I don't live in anywhere else, I can't comment). Doesn't sound like much but I promise, if you are sitting in the breeze, you'll be fine but when you get up, you'll realize just how much better it is then a regular fan.

its ultimately only a fan, so it moves air and makes it feel cooler, it does not truly cool the air. If you don't mind a little noise, it can be very good at 3 blades and high speed. at slower speeds, it still does a good job of blowing air and providing a nice breeze. hope that helps.

Yes, it does. if you set it on high the room temperatue will drop. It is just like a fan with filter on it.If the fan can cool of the room in summer and it will cool of the room in winter. I did put it on high for hour when I came house I felt the room was very cold. I saw It was a few drgree drop, If you put it in low you may not be feel that much but the air is move slow. It is still drop the room temperature but too small you may not feel it.

The answer to your question is yes & no. This fan will move hot air out of your trailer, but will only cool it to the extent of the outside air it is drawing in to replace the air it is exhausting.

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.

I haven't used it for that purpose - just for cooling down rooms once it starts to cool down outside. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes it does. It was a nightmare trying to get it vented outside. It just blows hot air everywhere. I returned it it was just terrible. Having hot flashes in California during the hot spell of the century I ordered this thinking it would be a life saver however my ceiling fan did a better job.

Not really. Does not impact my house in that way. If anything the fan just helps air circulation in the attic.

I am not sure about how much it cools the room down in regards to degrees, but I love this fan. I live in a place that is very hot and humid. The cost for electricity is very expensive. I do not use my AC most of the time. I use this fan and it really helps. I turn on the AC for an hour before I go to bed and then just use the fan and am able to sleep comfortably. Living in a tropical island can be very hot at times and I am happy I purchased this item. I wish I had a couple more.

Yes my AC took awhile to cool down, as my living room was extremely hot. Once It cooled off,the AC is perfect!! It cools my apt. very nicely.

If you place it outside the RV it will blow in cooler air if the outdoor air temperature is lower (pointed toward the open doorway for example). In an enclosed area, fans ADD heat to the room itself, regardless of the cooling sensation caused by evaporation on your skin. A 500 watt motor (3/4 horsepower) will add 500 watts of heat (1,600 BTUH, British thermal units per hour). Fans produce warmth, not cooling, but it is "comfort" cooling.

1st answer is incorrect. Air conditioners recirculate inside air over a cooling coil - they do not "pull air from the outside," unless you use the vent function (which this model does NOT have).

Sort of. If it is placed by an open window it will draw in air that is cooled and the fan spreads the cooled air. We use ours as an humidifier, and it still cools. But remember, this is an evaporative cooler -- buy for the size of room.
