Attic Fan Question
The Mrs. and I are getting an attic fan next week. Trouble is I don't know whether to get a direct driver or belt drive.
I hear belt drives are quieter but can require more maintenance. Are they that much quieter or is the difference negligible? |

Why are you getting an attic fan?

You mean a whole house fan.

Attic fans are great. Especially if you grow weed.

i can only remember replacing the belt once before the entire motor went out.
You will probably want to get a vent cover for winter so heat doesn't escape into the attic.

I have one in my house. It works great. I can't use it a lot of the time because I have allergies, and it sucks pollen into the house.

That's why I dont use mine much, that and it makes my house dusty as hell. They make filters you can put on the outside of your window screen though, thinking about investing in a few.

Something that your attic fan has in common with Redrum's mother then. Of course, she sucks in an entirely different type of pollen than what you're talking about.

If it's loud you go up there and make her scream when the kids are asleep...
