Window fans are a great way to keep your home cool during the summer months. By circulating air throughout the house, window fans can help to evenly distribute the cool air, making your home more comfortable. Additionally, window fans can help to reduce your energy costs by keeping your home cooler, allowing you to use your air conditioner less.
Yes, window fans are definitely worth it! They are an inexpensive way to cool down your home and they work well. I have two window fans and they have been a lifesaver during the hot summer months.
A window fan can be used when it is raining if the fan is covered and protected from the rain. There are some window fans that have a cover that can be purchased separately. If the fan is not covered, it is not recommended to use it in the rain.
No, window fans do not use a lot of electricity. In fact, they are one of the most energy-efficient ways to cool your home.

I reside in the Pacific Northwest, where a condensation issue can arise when rain and cold weather are combined. I discovered that after I pulled my warm, wet automobile inside during wintery circumstances, condensation would build on the garage door windows and walls. I got this fan and mounted it on a side wall approximately 7' off the ground and wired it to a Panasonic condensation switchPanasonic FV-WCCS1-W WhisperControl Three-Function On/Off Switch, White after trying electric warmers and dehumidifiers without result. (I also connected the suggested iLIVING ILG8SFSC Solid State Variable Adjustable Precision Fan Speed Controller 120V 8A; however, I've just set it to high and left it alone.) The measurements were ideal for mounting between studs. In order to connect the interior and external walls and stop the fan from drawing air from the interior of the wall, I nailed two 2x6" horizontally above and below the hole I made to attach the fan. I constructed a vent in the attic of the garage so that the somewhat dryer air pushed in from the outside, from the eaves, through the attic, and into the garage served as the fresh air source. The condensation switch's sensitivity was gradually increased, and as a result, it now only activates when necessary and turns off when both the garage and the car's interior are dry. Functions flawlessly, is not overly loud, and moves a lot of air.

This is an absolute requirement if you live somewhere where the nighttime temperatures plummet (we're in the high desert of New Mexico). When we go to bed, we turn on the fan and open a window in our bedroom because we mounted it in a window in the laundry room, which is far from our bedroom. Keep it as far away from you as you can because it's really noisy and powerful. If you want to let in some cold night air, just open a window because the exhaust mode creates a negative pressure throughout the entire house. Last summer, we never turned on the air conditioner at night. Quite economical if the air is cooler at night. Additionally, we mounted it inside the window, so when we leave, all we have to do is close and lock the window, and the house is secure.

This fan was purchased for a bedroom that is consistently much warmer than the rest of the house. This space may be too cool for the air conditioner to operate, but it is still uncomfortable hot. Last night, I put this fan in place after purchasing it. The space is currently the coolest and coziest one in the house. The amount of air moved by the fans is ideal for the room (10x13). The circulate mode is ideal for cycling in cool air and removing humidity (keep in mind that it is not a window ac unit). The exhaust function quickly removes the hot, stagnant air. I enjoy a little white noise to help me go asleep, but the noise level is great for me.There have been a few little knocks, but they are more annoyances than difficulties. The remote has a shoddy feel to it. It might crack if you squeeze it too firmly with bare hands, in my opinion. When you switch the device off, the settings you have selected are not retained. You must go through each setting again to restore it if you put it to medium speed circulate and then turn it off. Every time you press a button, it beeps, which is a little annoying.Notes on the window fins and screens. The bug screen appears to be effective. No bugs entered the house while the fan was running over night. I haven't tested the front cover that you're supposed to use instead of taking the fan out of the window, but I have my doubts about how successful it will be. It takes a while to install and remove the screens, too. They employ these tiny loops, which call for some skill and endurance. The side fins work well. Although they are functional, they do leave a 1/8-inch gap where the fan hits the glass. Additionally, the description claims that it is compatible with windows up to 37", but if your window is at or near that size, you should probably acquire another fan. I had to really stretch the fins out to fit end to end in my 34-inch-wide window.An excellent supporter all around. There are no major issues, and it is ideal for cooling a small room.

2017 UPDATE: The fan passed away. After seeing several YouTube how-to videos, I decided to replace the capacitor. That wasn't the problem, so I oiled it (should have done that first) and it began to function once again for a short while. It is now entirely dead. In the end, I decided to buy a new one from Amazon with a warranty because I thought it would break down again in two to three years.I use this fan in place of an air conditioner to keep my home cool. The fan is in my office on the third floor, across from the stairway. To allow the fan to lift the first floor air, make sure all doors are open from the first floor up. Although storms rarely arrive from that side of the home, it's wonderful to have the option of closing the window when they do.When I'm on a call at my office, I occasionally turn it off (or lower it from high), but other than that, it doesn't disturb me.I went a step farther and connected mine to an Arduino board with my own programming that has two temperature sensors—one inside and one outside. The software activates the fan when the outside temperature is lower than the interior temperature. The fan shuts off when the temperature outside exceeds that of the interior. It took some getting used to, but now it does what I want.

I decided to spend no more than $100 when looking for a window fan. I wanted one that would operate quietly and efficiently for the longest time feasible while moving the most air. Long-lasting necessitated using mechanical controls rather than digital push buttons or remote controls, and the largest blades were needed to move the air quietly. I looked everywhere before deciding this was the one for me, and the price was far lower than I had anticipated. I have the fan connected to an approximately 20-year-old, flawlessly functioning Clapper outlet control so that, if I so choose, I can turn it on or off from bed without a remote malfunctioning, getting misplaced, or requiring costly batteries. One of each of The Clapper Sound Activated On/Off Switches It's been approximately a month since I bought this fan, and I have no issues. It moves as much air as I would anticipate for its size and makes as little fan or air noise as I think it realistically can (and doesn't beep, I loathe beeping equipment!). In terms of overall airflow, it is less powerful than a 20" box fan, but since two 8" fans make up 16", it makes sense. The thermostat is functional. I've connected the location of the thermostat knob with the estimated room temperature using a thermometer mounted on a neighboring wall, and it's completely reproducible. Other reviews have complained badly about the side extension adjustment, but I had no problems with it. Before inserting the fan into the window, I measured my window, subtracted the width of the fan and the left-side extension, extended the right-side as necessary, and locked that adjustment. I then slid the left-side extension into place, set the entire assembly down, and lowered the window on top of it. What more could I want for when all of my neighbors have their air conditioners running constantly and I have been able to avoid using mine so far this year? I have this set to exhaust in my bedroom window and two of the three windows in the living room are open, allowing air from a covered patio to flow in, and it works perfectly for me. I firmly believe that this is the greatest $100 window fan available.

This has been wonderful for me for the past five months or so. My room is around 12' by 10' and located in the attic. It can become excessively hot because it is upstairs and receives heat from the furnace, which is housed in the crawl area next to my room, heat rising from below, and heat from the roof's shingles. The room is heated to an acceptable level when I open the heater vent about halfway and use the window fan on low. Although a tad loud, it functions good. With the fan on low and the window open, the temperature drops from 86°F to 75°F.My window is an odd size. Only 20" of room is available for the fan's width. All the fans I saw were bigger than my window, so even though this one was a little bigger than I desired, I knew I would have to adjust it. It was incredibly simple to adjust this fan to match my window! Ironically for my purposes, the fan has a sizable 1-2" nub that may be used to attach an additional extender. I CAREFULLY cut off the nub by repeatedly slicing the plastic with a tool knife. If you try my foolish utility knife trick, cut away from yourself. I simply use it as an illustration of how simple it was to alter to fit into a 20" space; I don't suggest it.Additionally, I have an extended screen that I mounted to the window frame using mounting tape and a few binder clips.

This review gives practical tips (with photographs) on the first setup and initial observations as I've only just begun using the fan. Future updates on durability will be provided.Since there are no screens on the building, I have had to deal with crickets in my apartment on the 8th floor despite simply having the window open to let in fresh air. The issue of the stale air has persisted, especially in the months when it is neither cold enough nor hot enough for the HVAC system to cycle.Reviews that claimed bugs being drawn into the house also caught my eye, in addition to the benefit of an in/out air exchange mechanism. Knowing this, I set out to prevent the bug issue before the initial setup.THE FOLLOWING HACKS ARE MOST USEFUL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE WINDOW SCREENS.HACK 1 | To hide the open vents on the fan's rear and external side, I bought a $5 sheer curtain and cut a panel. The fabric was then adhered to the fan using duck tape, taking care not to obstruct any vent apertures. The DIY "bug filter" can be replaced with numerous panels made from a single 84" wide curtain.HACK 2 | Before final installation, cover all four sides with the thickest size silicon rubber (not foam) self-adhesive window tape after utilizing the extenders to size the fan to the window.Contrary to the usual application of weather stripping, this step aims to block BUG flow rather than AIR flow. Of course, the main function of the fan is to provide airflow, so you will always have it coming through the fan hole.FIRST IMPLICATIONS The fan works great and is simple to install. Even at high speed, it is silent. It has a nice appearance; as it is in my living space, appearance is important. It immediately eliminates scents from cooking and stuffiness in my open-concept house. The remote is useful as well. So far, I enjoy it!

BWF0502M-WM, a "Thin Window Fan, White Reversible," was purchased in April 2015.I decided to add a review after going back in search of another one. It's important to remember that there are different variants of this fan, so use the drop down menu to select one that works for you. Reviews cover all four fan models, so they might not apply to the one you require. It's probably for a different model fan if a review doesn't make sense for the one you're looking at.THIS fan can be turned around and has controls on both sides. With some additional spacers and a "accordion" slider, the expanding component will allow you to adapt it to fit a range of window sizes. Although the slider's latch is a little difficult to understand, pressing the window pane against it will cause it to open.The "speed" lever controls the three fans, and it turns one of them off for every level reduction. As a result, some air simply creeps back the opposite way through the inactive fans, which is somewhat counterproductive. But I'm always quite content with "full speed." I can't comment on the thermostat component because I don't use it.In the kitchen, I utilize my fan as an exhaust fan to prevent smoke detectors from going off. Since I always want the air blowing out, reverse is not a problem for me. Since I must remove it frequently in this environment, even though it took me some time to figure out how, I can now quickly close the window by flipping the latch and popping it out. I've left the fan going nonstop for weeks at a time with no issues with rain coming in (or on the fan, for that matter).Over time, the normal gray sludge that is the culmination of cooking smoke and odors accumulated on my fan. Due to this, one of the fans now needs one or two pokes to start, but they are all functional. I'm standing here examining another because I'm getting ready to disassemble it to see if I can clean it. Before doing that, I wanted to make sure I could obtain another. The cost of the fan has decreased since my initial purchase, so I might just get a clean one.Although it isn't a very fast or conventional fan, it is quiet and blows more air than a stove vent hood. Every time I've used it to prevent the smoke alarm from going off while I'm cooking, it has worked flawlessly.
If you're looking to cool down quickly, one method is to put a frozen bottle of water in front of a fan. The fan will help circulate the cold air from the bottle and can speed up the process of cooling down.
No, putting a wet towel over a fan does not make it cooler. The fan will just blow the air around the towel and not make the room any cooler.
There are a few ways to cool down the hottest room in your house. One way is to use a fan. Put the fan in the window and point it towards the room you want to cool down. Another way is to use a cold air humidifier. Fill the humidifier with cold water and turn it on. The cold air will help to cool down the room.
To keep your house cool with a window fan, you'll want to make sure that the fan is blowing air out of the room. You can do this by opening the window and placing the fan so that the blades are facing out. You may also want to angle the fan so that it's blowing air across the room rather than straight out. Additionally, you can try using a lower speed setting on the fan to reduce the amount of noise it makes.
If you want to bring outside air into your house, there are a few things you can do. One option is to open your windows. This will allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. Another option is to install an air exchanger. This device will help to circulate fresh air into your home while also removing stale air.
If you want to push hot air out of your house, you can open windows and doors to create a cross breeze. You can also use fans to help circulate the air. If it's a really hot day, you might want to turn on the air conditioning to help cool things down.
