This thermostat has a simple temperature dial so you can adjust it to the desired temperature wherever you want the attic fan to turn on automatically. Then, when the attic temperature drops below that temperature, the fan will turn off. An attic fan can be turned off by raising the temperature setting on your thermostat. This thermostat is located in the attic, near the attic fan, so to do this, you will have to go to the attic.
Some attic fans also come with a humidistat, so in this case, make sure to turn up the humidistat settings as well. If you forget to turn up the humidistat setting, the fan will operate when the humidity level is reached, even if the attic temperature is below the thermostat setting. It is best to raise the temperature and humidity settings to their maximum values to prevent the fan from operating in any case. What is an attic fan? AT.
An attic fan or electric attic fan is a fan specially designed to blow warm air out of the attic space. The fan is normally mounted on top of the roof itself, drawing the warmer air out first while drawing in cool air from strategically placed intake vents. Will an attic fan look weird on the roof? AT. No, the fan housing is only 8″ tall and 22″ in diameter.

Of course, a whole-house fan would never be used concurrently with an air conditioner.
I have a fan for the whole house, do I need an attic fan? AT. We recommend this, since you do not operate the fan in the whole house during very hot days, when you just need to turn on the air conditioner and keep all the windows closed to prevent the hot summer air from entering. Your attic will still heat up, so venting the extremely hot attic air will need to be vented. Do not use the whole-house fan, as it will blow cold air from your home into the attic.

Attic fans can be controlled via thermostat, remote controls, smart devices, or a combination of all of these. Some attic fans are designed with thermostats and turn on automatically when the air reaches a certain temperature.
Make sure your attic has enough ventilation outlets for the highest cubic feet per minute (cfm) fan rating. Turn off the fan when finished, or allow it to turn off only if you have it configured to operate for a certain period of time. If the attic fan is controlled by a smart switch, simply tell your Alexa or Google device to turn it off. The humidistat detects the humidity in the attic and turns on the fan when this humidity level exceeds the humidity value set in it.
Many people don't choose to install a wall switch controller for attic fans and are instead connected directly to the power grid. No matter where you live, you can take advantage of the benefits of an attic fan to help make your home more comfortable. To turn off an attic fan controlled by a thermostat or by a humidistat and thermostat, simply turn the settings up to the maximum. With the remote control, you can control the speed, temperature and humidity settings of the fan, and you can even turn off the fan in your living room.
