Awesome video! You thoroughly explained every step of the process. However, I do have a question. I’ll be installing two qc Tri-pro 3.3 fans 15’ to 20’ apart from each other. Which direction does the fan motors face?

@mwmache39 29 күн бұрын

Back in the day this was called an attic fan. They were like 3-4’ in diameter and that sucker could pull some air through a house. Easiest way is get a couple of box fans and put them in an open window and block off the rest of opening and open up other windows. Might not get as much air flow but it works and a fraction of the cost.

@@NumberDZ on your attic where is the hot air being blown to? i don't see any attic vents going outside? I thought the concept is when the sun is down, you can suck in cold air outside from the house and push the hot air inside the house out?

Any thoughts on the proper amount of attic ventilation required? That is the main hold up on my own install. Thanks for the great video.

@NumberDZ Жыл бұрын

As long as you have 1 or 2 vents you should be fine, the amount of air pushed in your attic by this fan is not enough to create positive pressure, even a small 1 foot by 8 inch vent should be fine.

With the amount of air blowing around, is there any issues with the blown in insulation getting stirred up and blown everywhere?

@NumberDZ Жыл бұрын

No, the air flow is not directed towards the insulation, you have to direct it to an area of your attic away from the insulation. As you can see in the video, mine is throwing the air to the studs and an open area of the attic.

Great 👍,. I was wondering if you could tell us or show us the advantages of this.. did your electric bill drastically change?

@NumberDZ 13 күн бұрын

Yes, my electric bill went down by a lot, I highly recommend it. Keep in mind that this is not helpful during those extreme hot months when it doesn't not cool down at night, you have to use your AC during those months, other than that this fan is amazing, I also turn it on when cooking, it help remove all the food smell.

Is this cheaper to run then an AC unit? Also how does it cool down the rooms in the house

@NumberDZ Жыл бұрын

Yes, it is way cheaper, but it is efficient only during the time of the year when it is cooler outside and warm inside of the house.

@lohengrinknight Жыл бұрын

You run it around 8 pm or 6 am for an hour. You open the windows, so the fan can pull fresh air from outside. Then turn it off, close all windows and spend all day with the cool temperature that the fan left inside the house. at night time, repeat the same process again.

I don’t get it, how would this work if it’s not exhausting the air completely outta attic? Wouldn’t the hot air in the attic seep back in into the house and circulate back instead of venting out?

@foodie5214 27 күн бұрын

During times where you would use the fan, the temp in your house is likely more desirable than the temp in your attic. You put air from your house into the attic, pushing air through the attic. Attics are vented so the air will flow.

@NumberDZ 13 күн бұрын

The attics have vents, all the extra air creates positive pressure in the attic and the air gets pushed out thought he vents.
