Before I get too far along on my idea, I'd like to get some thoughts on it.

I'm going to install an attic ventilation fan and as I began the search for the one to get, I found that most of them may be very loud, most look fairly cheap, etc.

My friend is a HVAC guy and I can get the squirrel cage blowers that come out of AC air handlers. I'm pretty dang handy, and I think I can make a good install on a gable end of the house with a thermostat. I just wonder if it's the thing to do since I have never heard of it. They run nice and quiet and are typically well built.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on this if you have any.

Thanks,

Will
