Tjernlund AireShare room to room fan

[smoke show]

Started a thread a while back asking for feedback on one of these.

It ended up getting locked(fun times) and I didn't get any feedback.

Santa brought me one, so after its fully installed and working I'll leave some feedback.

For now all you get is teaser pics.

I have to pick up a line voltage thermostat, box and romex to finish.

Neat idea... I clicked on he link and was amazed at the # of similar devices that are available.

Also forgot to mention this is for the one finished room in the basement.

The basement stove is in the unfinished area and this room stays cooler.

Wonder who got the other thread off topic?????

Anyways.... Looks like you were a good boy and Santa brought you what you wanted.

Looking forward to your review. Looks like an awesome product and I didnt want to drop the dime without some elses opinion.

Congrats Smoke....

I'll never tell! :cheese: But involved pellet trading, possible stove trading or something like that! %-P

Here we go again.... :lol:

 

[DexterDay]

Here we go again.... :lol:

Yep..... ;-P

Seriously though. Expecting a Full detailed report and very thorough read on this fan. At least a 4-5 page thread that seems like it never ends.. (you know, like mine)

If you need help on the never ending part. Just holler. I will add my 2 cents or a smiley daily, or maybe even a +1 or X2.. LOL ;-P

Glad you got what you wanted. I hope Santa was good to everyone this year. I know he was to me. Im truly blessed with an Awesome Wife and two great kids who always get me something nice. (Bang items for everyone).

I was looking at some fans similar to this. Interested to see your report.

 

[jtakeman]

We'll try to keep this one on track! ;-)

Do these effect the fire-stops? Just wondering how they comply to certain codes.

 

[smoke show]

These are room to room only.

Theres a big warning in the box that says do not use level to level.

As far as codes go I'm not sure, I like living on the edge.

Maybe the resident code enforcer can chime in???

Room to room is good. AFAIK. I use el cheapo Broan Fans.

Enforcer out......... ;-P

Where did you buy it? Did you shop around and get it on the cheap? (PM if needed) Really interested in these. Im an sure there a lot quieter than my Fans I currently use.

 

[smoke show]

Where did you buy it?

See link in 1st post. ;-)

Cheapest I could find.

 

[EZsteve]

Really looking forward to your review. I was in the market for one of these fans and this looks to be the best out there.

 

[DexterDay]

One last question. Bout to buy one??

Does the larger Grill (where the blower is) does it blow the air out of the large register or suck from there?

Just wondering? Will depend whether I "click" Yes or not. Hoping it sucks from the Large and blows to the little vent..... Waiting....

And does it state CFM #'s??

Thanks Smoke.

 

[smoke show]

bigger grille sucks.

smaller blows.

75 cfm.

How's the noise level?

Did you find a stat yet? I got one I'll never use again. Maybe I could be bribed to send it your way! ;-)

 

[smoke show]

Checked all the local big box websites and couldn't find a cool only line voltage thermostat, so I ordered a lux from amazon.

I'll let you know about the noise level, might just switch it till the stat comes in. Hopefully tonight.

I have two of these, http://www.atrendyhome.com/durebofan.html Installed in my raised ranch, with my stove being down in the finished basement. They move the air well and i couldn't be happier. On high speed the noise is minimal, and on hi its rated at 100cfm.

Looks like a cheaper alternative. My problem is I need the stat in the opposite room as I'm trying to move cold air.

I want the stat triggered by the warmer room and the air being pulled from the cooler room. If that makes any sense.

 

[smoke show]

Well I got it installed tonight, seems real quiet. No time to mess with determining if its effective.

Just installed it with a switch till the stat comes in.

Will update on effectiveness over the weekend.

So far impressed with noise level.

It's the same stile of blower that the Enviro Mini uses.

 

[smoke show]

Its fully installed running on a switch till stat comes in, also added a vent tonight above the door to the stove area.

That will hopefully create the loop needed for heat transfer.

I'll post some pics when my wife is done hogging the laptop.

 

[DexterDay]

How are you gonna mount the stat?

Im a little slow. (Left it Wide open for ya!)...... When it comes to stuff like this.

I was about to buy one and couldnt decide whether I wanted the hardwired or the plug in???

The plug in model has a switch (knob) on the bottom vent (dont think you can do what your doing).

What room are you putting it in (stat) (stove room? / finished room?)??

Sorry so many questions.... My Wife Hogs the laptop too. I would use the PC, but there is no T.V. in there. ;-P

Line voltage stats mount into a standard single gang box.

The stats going in the stove room, so its triggered when that room is warm, its a stat setup for cooling. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E7BTFO

All the wiring is in the same stud cavity as its a common wall between these two rooms.

Theres also an additional vent to pull the warm air into the room, mounted high. Included pic showing suction.

Clear as mud, eh?
