Fireplace Surround

I have installed a few attic fans over the past couple of years and may be able to do so for you also, however, I would need to know a few more details about the particular fan you have in mind, where exactly in the attic you want it installed, and the layout of the attic. If you would like to give me a call to discuss it a little further, let me know in a response and I will give you my telephone number to reach me at or you can just email me at MannyCruzNYC@aol.com

We’ve given occasional thought to this for our building, but never done more than preliminary search for options, including these:

I've been able to get much of the benefit "parkslopemom" mentions by putting a 20" box fan in a top floor window and opening ground floor north-facing windows.

If you search on "Whole House Fan" in the forum there are a number of discussions from last year. There did seem to be some options that worked on a flat roof. I also want to do this - I grew up outside Baltimore and this worked great in a much larger house than a typical brownstone.

I would go with a 25 or 30 watt solar attic fan. You can find them at http://www.solaratticfansource.com.
