Can I install it in the same place where a burned-out AC fan is installed? I prefer to remove just the motor/blades/dome w/o touching the shingles.

Sorry I have no idea. When I had my roof replaced, I had the roofer install it and my son is the one suggested I get a attic fan.

Yes, they can be left off but the unit does not come with the plate to cover the wires. If you have installed fans before and kept the parts you may have one, it would need to be Bush Nickel. I believe they can be purchased at a Big Box store like Lowes or ordered from Amazon.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

unless you already have an electric fan installing this will be difficult. Biggest problem is wiring in the relay circuit and having it work. Best bet replace mechanical fan with OEM only, after market fans do not work.

hole for vent needs to be 8" and the fan is centered over that hole with the metal flashing around the fan going under your roof shingles inside if you run duct use 8"round or 8" to 6" adapter

I used this fan to replace an existing electric fan that the motor went bad. If your tile roof has an existing fan it may work for you but if not you may need professional installation.

Hello there, 2 fans might work well - in my installation, I only installed one fan near the bottom blowing the air upwards. That seems to keep the fan motor out of extra heat from the frig. and should extend the motor life... I am in SW Texas and it does get hot here... Good Luck with your project!!

Sorry, unable to advise on fan removal. You may want to try Ask.com web site for info, or Ryobi for tech help.

My son did it for me & he loosened the fan but did not take it down. It was a very easy process for him. You could probably look on the internet to see how it's done. Good luck!!

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.

The electrical connection box probably cannot be moved easily or at all on the unit; (mine is installed so I can't see it right now) but it's easy to extend your house wiring to reach though. You just need a piece of wire the same size as the existing that's long enough to reach to where it needs to go and a new small electrical box and a few twist on connectors. Electrical codes require all splices/connections to be in an approved electrical box. Any big box store or hardware store will have what you need and probably someone there that can help you confirm you are buying the right parts. You'll also want to have a few staples or clamps to secure the wire near the fan and the new box. It's easy but I don't envy you crawling around in your attic; mine was pretty tight and dusty! Check out YouTube for videos on electrical wiring.

I believe you should be able to. All I needed to do was unplug the fan and remove one screw and the fan/wheel unit was removed. A real easy procedure.

You may have to scab in the connector from the old fan (solder or wire nuts will work)

Yes you can. I did and it was very easy. No soldering needed. Just unsrew top dome.

It does not appear that you can change the fan if it goes out. But, since the fan is the largest part, it would be price prohibitive to replace it.
