Think About Installing a Through Wall Fan For Great Ventilation

By Nathan Sprott


If you are disturbed by over stuffiness or extreme coolness in some of your rooms, you will be relieved to find quick solution by installing a thru wall fan. Through wall fans can be inserted into an 8 inch diameter hole on the wall of adjourning rooms. This way, you can force smooth air movement between rooms, instead of making an investment in another window air conditioner or another space heater. They are a great option for your next home remodeling project.

Thu wall fans will...

Assist air movement from an AC unit or a fireside to a room beside it.

Induced ventilation onto rooms that could be hazy or stuffy.

Variable speed controller allows you to step up or step down the air movement.

Revolving grille allows you to adjust air movement direction.

Basic Information

It is common to have one single room that usually appears to be too cold or too hot in the household. A through wall room-to-room fan can easily correct that. This multi-speed and in-wall air-conditioning system enables smooth transfer of cooled or heated air between rooms efficiently and silently. It is cheap and consumed a lot less energy compared with window AC unit or space heaters.

Picking The Best Thru Wall Fan System

1. Always pick a through wall fan of compulsory size. Study the home ventilation Institute (HVI) ratings labels on the fans to study how they fare in terms of noise and energy efficiency (ideal selection would be a through wall fan that makes minimum noise and has maximum energy conservation). Check on the info per parts and lubricating cycles (if not long-standing). Try to go with a fan which has long life expectancy and be prepared to spend more for all of these qualities.

2. Only go for exhaust ductwork that is smooth (or low resistance). Make sure all joints are correctly sealed and channel sections running through unheated areas are adequately insulated.

3. Remember to position the exhaust hood on somewhere less wet lest the moisture damages the exterior surface.

4. Ensure the fans are placed in safe distance from any heating appliance with chimney so as to avoid the nonessential backdraft.

5. Continue with the installation of the controls supplied.
