Through the wall fans

[Tim Linden]

Hey All

Does anyone use any fans to circulate through the wall? I am thinking of using one to circulate the cold air from our kitchen into our living room where the stove is. It would feed it almost directly to the stove. Then the warm air can circulate back to the rest of the house through the hallway as normal.

Without this circulating if you sit on the floor in the living room you can feel the cold air from the house rushing back to the stove. I'm hoping by adding this fan it could get the cold air to return a different way so that would be less noticeable.

I'm thinking something like this, floor level:

It seems logical and should be better than what is going on now.All I can say is my wife would say a BIG no to me if I wanted to put in a wall fan lol

Ha! I wouldn't ask her first =P

I just installed several of those. Although I installed mine above the doorway pulling hot air from the stove room to my other rooms. That's the only place I could possibly install them.

you may try a corner fan first and see if it makes a difference before you cut a hole in the wall.

I tried many different fan configurations before coming to the conclusion that my stoves internal blower does a far better job on its own.

Thanks!

The wall I'm going through is opposite end of the kitchen from the doorway so the goal is to get a loop going through the house. The normal convection loop makes the cold air return by the couch causing the woman anf children to complain lol

Uh oh.. I talked to wife and apparently she didnt know that wall was the same wall. Now she wants to put a second entry way lol might not need a fan..

We used to have that problem till we removed all the walls. Now our LR/KIt/DR/family room are one big space.

Now I've just got find a way to remove the walls in the bedroom areas. I don't think wife/daughter will go for that.

Presumably non-bearing walls? Guessing they are since you ran a wire...
