Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ventamatic CX1500 Power Gable Ventilator Fan
Customer Review: Attic fan
Summary: 4 Stars
A perfect replacement for one that recently failed. Just took the fan out of the harness and place in the existing one and made the connections and that was it.Customer Review: Better then you can find in Home Depot or Lowe's!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've shopped for an attic fan for a while and almost got one from Home Depot. Good thing I didn't. This one is better built and has better performance thanks for an overall depth of the ventilator which allows it to suck for air then slim vent sold in HD and Lowe's I've seen. The price is also much lower from Amazon ;-).
The ventilator is well made overall. It took me a bit of time to build a wooden cage as specified in instructions using 2x4s. The case fits almost perfectly over an attic's gabble and keeps the ventilator in close contact with a wall not allowing any air backflow. Thermostat operates as specified though it is a bit off +/- 10F so you'd better check the attic temperature with an infrared thermometer and adjust settings gradually until desired temperature is kept steady by the ventilator. Some review are complaining about some noise but I think those people don't have a good ceiling insulation. Sure it is noisy in the attic when the vent operates but the noise level is minimal to none inside a house.
The only complain I have so far is that the ventilator L-shaped bracket were off by 1 inch for a center and I had to re-drill mounts to center is in the built cage. Otherwise -- highly recommended. I'm going to get another one to put on the other side of my attic (I have a very long attic).
Customer Review: Contractors choice.
Summary: 5 Stars
This fan comes with an adjustable temperature switch. Fast exchange on the fan. One half the price of Grainger supply.
The Home Cheapo can't come close to this one. It's more than powerful for a hot Attic. Amazon came through again. Thanks.
Customer Review: Cool fan, bad thermal switch
Summary: 4 Stars
This CX1500 would be perfect if the thermal switch working. I had to use a timer in place of the thermal switch. It helps cool the house down to reasonable temperature. I can hear the fan noise only if I pay attention to it.Customer Review: Cool guy, now that the attic has circuation!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good quality fan moves a lot of air and is easy to install. Every attic should have one, especially in the hot (and moist) climates.
