can the fan stay outside in inclimate weather?

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

I would have to say yes. I have not put mine up since purchasing it and it still works GREAT! Love it!!

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

Also consider your outlet if you plan to leave it plugged in during rain. A lot outdoor outlets have a spring loaded cover that only seals it from water when it's not in use. If you want to leave it plugged in, you need a in-use outdoor outlet cover that's a plastic or metal dome and the power cord feeds in from the bottom. You can pick them up at any home store.

I live on the west coast of central Florida and mine have been exposed to torrential rains and hot sun and normal rainfall and are doing just fine. These do change color a tad in the sun but I still love them. Mine took on a bit of a navy blanket green shade but still work great and look good too.

The power cable is fairly robust and well-insulated, but I would be worried about water getting into the speed control if it rains. As other have said, if the fan is used in an outdoor area that is covered then you should be okay.

It can but will probably rust out in a year or so. If you can manage to at least cover the fan itself it will last for 3 to 5 years, or at least it has for me. For full time in weather there are other fans available. Just search online for weatherproof industrial fans. Good luck.

I own 2 of these fans and installed both of them fairly easy. I don't think it's rated for outdoor use but I don't see why you couldn't be. So far they have been great fans

The motors in window fans are rain-resistant, and may safely remain in your window when it's raining. We do suggest removal from the window with heavy storm activity as wind driven rain can blow into the electrical areas of the fan.

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

I don't think it's rated for outdoor use. Generally, whether a fan is rated for outdoor use is stated prominently in the item description.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

It could be used anywhere, providing you have sufficient head room. I wouldn't probably install this nice of a fan in that environment.

Yes it can. But it's a thermostat, and how would the space stay conditioned if it's subject to the outside.

No idea. I have been using one in my basement window for years. If the rain starts coming in, out comes the fan.

The fan is not protected from heat or cold. It's open. In the winter, as with my previous fan, I just covered it with plastic wrap. Does the trick.

You'd have to read the description of item to find out. I don't take the chance. I remove all fans from windows when it starts to rain.

I personally wouldn't use this fan outdoors ... I think the beautiful finish and the wood blades would get ruined pretty quickly in the elements, depending on your environment.

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

Hi Donald. The AC has a fan setting that will act as a regular fan to bring in the outside air. I have been using this AC for about 1 year now and it is really up to the job of cooling. Especially like the energy save setting. Use it at night.

This fan is Very Well Made; however, I don't think it is for outside use.I use it in my garage and the fact that it has THREE speeds is nice.
