Can it be installed in the basement instead of in the attic?

I actually asked the same question to a home inspector. He said it is not recommended to put it in the basement but can be done. Reasons being that if it or any of the connections should leak you would be blowing all the radon into the house creating an even higher level.

Yes. Installed it in the basement, ran the exhaust pipe through the external wall few inches above ground, then outside along the chimney all the way to the top.

I would not install this inside the house because if the outlet is restricted or there are leaks, you'd be pumping radon into your house.

There are some good websites with design advice. They recommend installation near the outlet from the house. This is their reason: If you put the fan in the basement and run a long pipe through the house, any leaks in that pipe may release gasses into the house. If you run a long pipe from the basement to the fan in the attic, any leaks in that pipe will draw air in from the house. The air that runs through this fan is very humid, and they say that in cold climates, ice in a long outdoor pipe above the fan can be an issue.

Yes, that is where I mounted mine creating a negative pressure under the concrete floor.

One thing to note is that you can install equipment interface next to or near the thermostat - it does not need to go to the basement (distance between equipment and unit is limited to 39 meters IIRC however).

yes you should have no problem doing it that way.I put mine in my garage and it work great.

I'm sure you could. The base is square so I don't think it would matter in which direction it is installed.

Yes you can. My brother has one installed in a room and uses it for that purpose. You need to be careful with how high the ceiling is.

I am sure that you could, if your attic is big enough. Also I would suggest that you stay away from pointing through aluminum siding.

Yes you can. I currently have it this way in a few different spots in the house.

Yes, you can. I have mine in the attic with 3 feet of attic insulation. The signal is awesome even if i am on the street about 50 feet away from my driveway. This AP comes with PoE, utilized that and less wiring for you.

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.

yes you canI do not have an attic either in the place that I put this mount.I cut out the plaster board and put a 2 by 8 piece of wood between the rafters.I then replaced the plaster board and screwed the mount there.I also have a vaulted ceiling and this mount worked really well

No you cannot. Mount it normally with sturdy bracketsand a piece of plywood secured to the house under the AC.then fill the space above with a clear acrylic sheet from Home Depot.

I don't see why not. Though mine is in the basement. The battery box is kind of un-sightly unless your putting it in a closet .....

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

My opinion is that I think it would work... I actually have it setup in my basement as a precaution.

Yes, but it won't fit through a doorway so you'd have to assemble it in your basement and take it apart if you ever wanted to move it. It's about 8 feet talk so you'd need at least 9 ft ceilings

No it is not. I have it in my unfinished basement and it is fine for there.

yes it can be installed in the ceiling, or the wall, where ever there is room for it. I installed mine in the ceiling to replace an old fan.
