FB-850 (11 watts) Attic Fan- Ideal for Attics 800-1200Sq. Ft.


During the summer, the attic becomes very hot, as it comes in direct contact with sunlight. As a result, the entire house becomes warm and uncomfortable. The air conditioning bill moves upwards if the appropriate measures are not taken. The home can be made more comfortable, if you can fit a FB-850 11 watt fan in your attic.

FB-850 attic fan takes energy directly from the sun and keeps the inside of the house cool. As the sun becomes very hot, this fan, fitted on the attic, pushes the warm air within the roof to the outside and cool air is circulated back within the attic and hence the entire house. This fan is capable of reducing the attic temperature by 50 degree F and can cool up to 1200 square ft. of the attic space. In full sunlight, FB-850 can move 850 cubic ft. of air per minute.

The base of the fan is 24.5 inch x 24.5 inch, height 7 inch, top 25.5 inch x 21.25 inch and weight is 15 pounds. It can be fitted in any normal sloped shingle roofs. There is a solar panel which takes heat from sun, generates electricity to rotate the fan.

FB-850 11 watt fan does not need any fuel or electricity to operate and do not create any noise or air pollution. It is very easy to install and you do not have to pay any electric bill to operate this fan.

It also helps to increase the roof life, as the moisture build-up and damages under the roof gets reduced. This will also make your home a much cooler place to stay and your monthly AC bills will go down. There will also be less fungal decay and ice dams in cold climates. The cost of maintenance of this solar fan is much less than the conventional electric attic fans in the long run. The electric fans need electricity to run and hence you will have to pay a hefty electric bill.

There may be some small companies manufacturing this fan, but the market leader in the field is the Sunrise brand. The brand is manufactured by Sunrise Solar Inc., which is a market leader in this category.

Though the listed price of the product is $495, the buyer will actually pay $330, as he will get a 30% Federal Tax Credit discount. There is also a 30 days money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.
