If you are in the market for a whole house fan, please folks, look elsewhere. I bought the HV1450 on Ebay. The purchase transaction was excellent. The box arrived undamaged. I have not had time to install the fan until about one week ago. Instructions are a bit tricky if you are not handy like myself. I did hire an electrician to wire the fan in. After spending hours figuring out how to install it, borrowing tools etc, I successfully installed the fan. Turned the fan on, both small fan motors worked and, and, and… not much. We could not feel any air movement. Ok, so we experimented with opening windows to generate the best possible breeze/​air exchange, even let the thing run all night long. In doing so, we also had to run our ceiling fans. to «feel» cooled off. Not being a handy person, I finally called the company and asked what I can do to get the best results. They told me that the 1450 in the model number denotes that it pulls about 1450 cfm (cubic feet of air per minute) and I should have done some calculations to determine if the fan was right for me. Both people I talked with from the company said the unit was too small for my home. I asked what recourse I had at this point. The companies official response was NOTHING! Since the unti has been installed, I was up Buzzards Bay without a fan to cool the house. Turns out my 30 days was up 4 days ago. The very nice lady said I could buy another one at $ 450 plus shipping or buy a more expensive $ 700 dollar one. I’ve done a bit of research since, you can go to your local home supply store and buy one that actually moves air at about 6000 cfm for half the price. And if for some reason it doesn’t work out for you, you can return it for a full refund. I am not at all impressed with Tamarack Techonogies. Peligro!
