I would like to install this in a 1 &amp; 1/2 garage to exhaust fumes and heat from the garage, Would this fan be ideal?

"Ideal" ? Probably not. How much air do you need to move? That is your question. I believe this fan was designed and sized for Kitchen service and it does a good job for that. However you need a better handle on your airflow requirements. I suspect you need a larger more utilitarian fan. You also may not need a finished decorator faceplate for utility service. This is more important if in a hot climate (outside heat-gain), welding or expect engine exhaust fumes. "

This fan is in it's second season in a small storage shed. During the summer it runs 18/7 as I have a thermostat on it. Shuts off when it cools. It is about the loudness of a ceiling exhaust fan. Best answer I can give.

This is a VERY good heater. I am using it a 400 square foot garage it heats very well regardless of the temperature outside very efficiently . That said I know it will heat the area that you will be using it in. However the fan that is on this heater does not produce a large air flow. It is basically designed to move the heat away from the heater with very little air flow. What I would recommend is to buy a few small floor fans to move the air throughout the cabin. I am not sure there is a heater on the market that would provide enough air flow to provide the cabin with uniform heat

Paul I believe it will work just fine. That gives me a idea for exhaust fan in our bathroom in the camper. This fan really moves alot of air

Yes, i think it can be used as an exhaust fan and the air flow can be noticed at 2ft or a little more. Is not a súper strong airflow but can certainly feel it.

This is a high flow volume fan. I am using it in a warehouse setting. It is not an air conditioner and not recomended for a small spaces.

I used mine for exhausting lead pot fumes so not much heat involved. But it's made heavy enough that it could be used to push heat from a furnace easy enough. If I had to guess I would say as long as the fan is running it would take 200-300 degrees easy enough.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

I have mine in a 12x20 garage. Does a great job. Is the heater blowing out heated air? If not you may want to have a electrician friend take a look.

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

I should really check the "I don't know" box, but a few considerations come to mind. (1) this is a powerful and reasonably noisy fan...ones built for the purpose of kitchen venting might be quieter. (2) you're dealing with a lot of grease and crud if you're over anything that produces smoke (such as an indoor bbq) and I doubt if this is built to handle that, (3) I should think that a hood arrangement built for the purpose might be just as cheap as a built-to-order stainless hood and duct work ( you would, of course, want stainless); (3) this is meant to evacuate an entire attic -- you could create quite a (detrimental) draft ducting it down to a single hood and/or overload the motor with restrictive duct work. But I don't see why it wouldn't work given the proper analysis and engineering. It is an exhaust fan, after all. If you're exhausting an entire (kitchen) room, I should think that the only things you need to worry about are the noise and potentially restrictive/overloading/damaging duct work.

Maybe consider a .5 sone bath fan Air King BFQ50 ENERGY STAR® Qualified SNAP-IN Exhaust Fan, 50 CFM

My answer is identical to the others listed. Also my electrician who installed it in the living room judged it to be a very good fan..sorry I cannot the rest of the praise he had for it.

I use it in a 10 x 30' x 10' ceiling screened in patio and it's perfect. Don't know how big your garage is, but with your 25' ceiling you might want to consider a slightly larger one, maybe 50,000 but even with a ceiling exhaust I would still crack open your garage door an inch or two to be on the safe side. The heater is a little louder than I expected, but isn't bothersome to me. I think all of them are louder, kinda like a tiny jet engine. You'll want to use a 20# propane tank at LEAST! Hope this is useful.

It is a perfect fan for a garage, as long as you font have a lot of loose items laying around for this fan to blow all over the garage

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (<40 C).
