Can this fan be used in an outside sunroom?

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.

Assuming the fan wil be protected from the elements [rain, wind and heat] this fan would be ideal. Its rustic tones draws the eye to the fan in our living room and receives nothing but compliments.

As long as you have a standard fan housing, it would be possible to use this fan outdoors. However, I would not recommend it since the blade material is wood and the housing is not designed for outdoor usage. This means that the blades will eventually droop and the internal components will corrode; this process will be accelerated if you live in a place with relatively high humidity.

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

I love this fan, but it is not an outdoor fan. I have three of them now, and I would buy five more for my porch if it were rated for outdoors.

It might, as long as you can get good sun on the solar panel (i.e. location not shaded by roof overhang). I'm not sure how much you can tilt the panel relative to the fan (design is for roof pitch, not a 90 degree wall). I'd experiment with it a bit before punching any holes in the gable--you can always send it back if it doesn't work.

The short answer is no. The longer question is why would you want to buy a HEATER to be used as a FAN since fans are for COOLING ???

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

Yes. We put this fan in each of my children's four bedrooms as they have vaulted ceilings with skylights that would hold heat. It has helped tremendously. We did use the light as when it is not light outside, the lighting in the room is poor.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

It is make for indoor use I do believe but depends on how well it would be shielded from rain. I have similar fans outside in our pool house that are in a screened enclosure that have operated for almost 20 years with no problem other than the dirt builds up on the blades fast. Keep it clean and away from direct rain and it will be OK.

This would probably not work as a cooler in the summer. The temperature settings range from hot to warm. You can't just use it as a fan, it will still blow warm air out.

Yes it can providing the fan will still fit in your window.Be sure of window opening .Hope this helps.

I would guess not,...as the fan needs to be sitting on the heated surface (300 plus degrees) and draw air from behind it.

I believe it is only rated for indoor use. A fan that can be used outdoors always is described specifically as indoor/outdoor.

This fan should be acceptable for encloused outdoors; the only downsize is that over the timethe padels may sag due to moisture

From the way I interpret the specs is that the fan is suitable for damp locations. I have installed them on a screen porch that is exposed to high humidity. The fans look and work great, and I think that they would look just a good indoors. The fact that they are rated for damp locations does not preclude their installation indoors.
