Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cool Attic CX2121 Automatic Gable Vent Shutter, High Impact One-piece ABS Cycolac FrameCustomer Review: Attic ventilator Summary: 4 StarsI installed this gable vent shutter with the Ventamatic CX1500 fan.
It is a pretty involved project, but with some good planning and elbow grease, I did it in one day.
I started by measuring the inside wall and building a frame that would fit in between the rafters on the wall. I had to cut the center 2x4 to fit the frame inside. After drilling holes in all four corners, it was pretty easy to cut out the square from the outside with a concrete blade on a Skil saw.
After painting the shutters the same color as the wall, it went on easy and looks great.
I had the frame, plate with round hole and fan, all assembled in my garage before anything was installed. So now it was easy to install the plate and the fan on the inside.
The wiring should be done by a professional. I did it myself, but unless you are absolutely sure you know what you're doing, don't do it!
After a little adjusting, the fan now shuts off at about 85 degrees in the evening. The max temperature in the attic is now about 10 degrees lower than it used to be.
Still waiting for the first power bill to see any real saving, but it looks good.
