Can this be placed in front of a window air conditioner(pointing upward) to cool my loft? Could it possibly be mounted to the ceiling?

In theory it could be. It doesn't have enough "horse power" to effectively redirect air ....

It could potentially be placed that way, sure. Mounted to the ceiling, I don't think so, as the switch is on the base.

It depends upon the situation. If you are mounting it in a place where it maintains the right angle, and the center of gravity is over the area supporting the AC, you could probably get away with it. But I feel that this would be an unusual situation. Therefore let me say that i do not recommend it.

Hi, I don't think so. The window will still have an opening that would let the hot air back in. Sliding windows works best. This model is good it pushes cold air out from the front not the top. The models that push cold air out from the top through the air up towards the ceiling. Thank you

This unit can't be vented through a window anyway. It has to be vented through an outside wall which is what I did. It doesn't come with the hardware to vent it through a ceiling space but it would work. Your installer will need to review what you need. Might not be to attractive since here are two hoses that come out the back of the unit. Works great for us! Good luck.

Not quite, but it will go to a very steep angle. You will love it. It moves a great amount of air and is whisper quiet at the lowest speed. I used mine to move heated air from the ceiling during winter, and will now use it to move my air conditioned air from the floor during summer.

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

We have mounted ours on the ceiling in the garage. The heat is disperced over the area it is pointed toward, thus is not truly focused, but still is directional.

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.

I see no reason why not as long as the mounting screws are secure. I have mine mounted on a window frame at the top so that the fan sweeps downward. The fan has a two screw mounting system where you lock the fan onto the screws. If you mount it on the ceiling you might want to check it once in a while to be sure it hasn't loosened.

Absolutely it can. I've had this fan for a couple of months now and it works outstanding to cool off a hot room. Granted, it's not going to cool a room off as quickly as blasting an air conditioner, but no fan could. For the price here, this is an outstanding fan. I've already purchased another one of these Lasko fans, and am planning on ordering two more soon, for every room in my home. So that should tell you something. ;-) Enjoy!

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.

I placed mine in a corner of my shop, hung from the ceiling, about 2 feet from the walls. Fan has enough force to mix the air the length of the shop (in my case 30 feet). The unit can be easily adjusted for pointing up/down and side to side at any angle needed. My unit was placed at the opposite end from the work area and this works fine.

Yes, the temperature sensor is up there somewhere, maybe above the ceiling, not sure. We use it in quite a small room, just to move the air about. For getting hot air right out of the house we have an Air King 9166 20 Inch 3560 CFM Whole House Window Fan with Storm Guard Housing in the window of the third floor hall. It works really well, pulling all the way through the house what starts as cool air from the first floor library and the second floor office's window a/c units; cost $134.00 from www.ventingdirect.com in May this year. In case you have more questions, my email is john@patsysales.com

Yes, you can install it on the ceiling. Its housing is slight bigger than the existing fan I had, had to cut a larger opening to fit it in. Make sure the tube fitting is the correct size.

if it's not too humid and the air is blowing on you from less than 8', yes. Nice cool, humidified air. Can be made to fan across area and could cool two or three people adequately. I have three units and really love them inside.

It should it's a powerful little fan. I place mine next to a window and it cools the room quite well.

Yes, you can mount it by installing two screws then push and twist this unit over them --------------- or ------------use double-sided foam tape to hold it to the ceiling. It is pretty light!
