Is this fan rated for insulation contact in my attic?

Yes as long as you have a sealed vapor barrier between the fan and the insulation
487443
Yes, it is a sealed unit can be covered with insultion. I just had mine installed and they put the insulation around it and the fan is working great. Hope this helps.

Don't worry. Actual fan is encased by plastic/metal mounting enclosure. Insulation covering will not cause any issues. Plastic/metal housing doesn't even get warm. It's probably warmer in the attic than the plastic/metal mounting enclosure.

You may want to contact Panasonic on that one. The housing has no contact with the motor and the motor is designed for continuous duty so I doubt the heat is that extreme. Also the fact it is designed for attic installation would make me think that would not be an issue. There are always exceptions. I would not recommend stuffing it in and around fan to "insulate". Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer.

I use mine EVERY day here in Florida, BUT... I use it pointed in the area that I am working. It is a small fan that is great for personal use, but I really don't think it would be efficient for removing the air volume of an attic.

I have no idea on that. You would need to contact the manufacturer. We ended up adding another fan in our attic because it is so big. They don't require much power at all. You can't even hear them going. Boy have they made a huge difference in our electric bill.

I can't tell you the decibel rating, but it is fairly noisy. I am sitting in a bedroom 20 ft away, and it is still fairly loud. If you are concerned about the noise, buy one where the fan is mounted at the end of conduit, hung from the attic rafters. I have a low pitch roof, and did not have enough space to do this. My son has one, and it is very quiet. You can barely hear it. On the plus side, this fan really does a good job of moving air in from the outside. Hope this helps!

We have had no problems with our fan and so don't know how to answer this question. It is working beautifully and we enjoy it.

i don't know. i thought it might work with an attic solar exhaust fan. i would check with the company or an electrician.

This thermostat is basically just a switch. It works on 120 and 240 Volt heaters so the fan load would not be a problem. But this thermostat is "on" (switch closed) when there is a demand for more heat. I assume you want to cool the house by use of the attic fan! So, this thermostat will not work in its current configuration.

Not to my knowledge..it is installed in my living room...there are specific fans that state indoor/outdoor usage..their motors are self-contained from the elements.

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

It is. The fan has to blow the air over the coils to condense the air and extract the moisture from it, it will be cool.

This fan is wet rated. It is meant for outdoor use. One of the few you could actually use on a perrgola.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

I own 2 of these fans and installed both of them fairly easy. I don't think it's rated for outdoor use but I don't see why you couldn't be. So far they have been great fans

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

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!

Sorry but I can't find that anywhere on the motor or in the installation sheet. There are several things missing from the info they give you. Also the sizing they recommend is based on square footage, but should be on the cubic footage of the area to be vented. My fan works great, but does not adequately vent my attic despite what they state. I had to add 2 more box fans in order to get enough venting.
