Has anyone used this product to prevent cold air from leaking in from a through the wall bathroom exhaust fan. We live in Southern California.

I'm not sure if a bath exhaust fan would have enough pressure to open the vent. The vent uses a inverted plastic 'cup' riding in the center of the assembly to seal the vent when not in use. The 'cup' may weigh a little to much to open with a fan, but works great with a dryer. You might try contacting the manufacturer.

Well, I did not have water leaking into my vehicle , but a nasty wet, musty smell when I first air on. This stuff did not eliminate it. So I Googled my problem. Someone said spray Lysol disinfectant into air intake (by windshield ) with vehicle running and opened to vent setting (NOT AC ). Spray it in as air is getting sucked in and VOILA .....bacteria killed and smell gone! I have to do every once in awhile. Works and lasts awhile ....living in very humid place .

If anything, I would think it would help not hurt. The exhaust outlet is so small that it wouldn't take away from any other outlets you may have. I run a cooler also, and have no issues...?

robert, as you probably know; you do not want your refrigerator flush against the wall, as you want air flow in the rear of your refrigerator. the unit is almost 2" deep and the back of my frig is 4" from the wall, for air circulation. have a merry christmas and a prosperous new year! [sorry......i meant to answer a similar question to another person and answered yours instead. :) i also sent her this same answer. hope your unit is working fine.]

I have two of the double fans (total of four fans) mounted at the top of a closed closet (3ft wide, 7 ft tall) which houses our computer servers and security system hardware. I reversed the mounting on the fans so they are exhaust, blowing the air out of the closet. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the doors where air can be drawn in. The idea is hot air rises and is exhausted while cooler air is pulled in at the bottom. This seems to be working quite well over the past month or so since the install.

The remaining pieces of Dynamat from my vehicle were used to block a heat duct in my basement during the winter because the temperature is at least 65F. The Dynamat has stopped the heat exchange from the duct, totally. My suggestion is to contact Dynamat, directly because I have no experience in heating and refrigeration. The Dynamat is absolutely perfect for a sound barrier.

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

I installed this fan on our open porch at Fort Morgan, Alabama. A few blocks from the Gulf of Mexico. The fan is well made with appropriate sealing engineered into the unit. I also installed light fixture made for this unit and this also came with needed sealing gaskets/material. Since we are plagued with NoSeeUms I used duct seal (electricians putty) to seal off holes where pull chains come thru unit. I control fan speed and light from wall switches. This has kept the light fixture free of bugs and eliminated the need to remove light cover for cleaning.Hope this info helps.....

Yes we have used ours for about 6 months and it works fine. Our vent was open to the outside before and we had wind noise, with this, no more wind noise. Our fans are fairly strong air flow but I think any exhaust fan would open it for venting.

I have mine on the wall in a similar insulated oversize double garage/shop. I use it in conjunction with a ceiling dust filter to circulate the air. It was 32 or so yesterday and it warmed the shop to about 60+ in a couple of hours. I think good circulation helps since I have a 10 foot ceiling. My filter instructions for good circulation suggest installation on one side blowing to force the air around in a circle.

I already answered this. It does nothing to protect against cold air. It didn't fit my doors, and I use it now as a cat toy.

Well I would not because it takes in fresh air from the rear of the unit with a filter. So in my opinion the unit would over heat if you set it flush, because it could not get fresh air.you could probably get by with moving it a few feet away from wall so as not to restrict air flow.

Hi Cleve, I've only used this product for my whole house humidifier, I would check with the manufacturer of your air cooler to make sure it is safe to use.

I use mine in the hallway outside of our small bathroom. It seems to do the trick. Instead of an exhaust fan, just use a small desk fan in the bathroom while showering.

I live in Southern California I haven't used the heater in months. But when it does get cold enough to use it I might have to adjust the heater setting to blow air out of the floor/window vents.

It's a Contact brand product. Have you contacted them? We installed it on the inside of an exterior door and have had no problems with the temperature fluctuations, condensation, etc. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Worst that happens is you end up removing it, which is simple enough.

Hello Richard, I had the same dilemma and I decided that the fan would be much more effective when used as an exhaust fan. I have a very hot running tube amp and it keeps it running warm. I did angle the cabinet to the back wall so that the air would be reflected away at about a 15 degree angle. Hope this helps. Jnm
