Anyone know if window fans have screens?

[Moe Hair]

I was thinking of getting a Bionaire or Honeywell twin window fan. Does anyone know if these fan units have buit in screens and if not, how do you keep out bugs?

The fan sits inside the regular screen in the window now.

Not familiar with those units specifically, but I have a Holmes twin fan (electronic thermostat and either fan can intake/exhaust). I suppose they assume that you have window screens if you need them (since they fit about flush in a double hung window).

When I was in an apartment with slider windows, I used a longer unit which had a filter (with long squirrel cage fan), but that was not as effective at moving air.

Duh,,,,,,,,,, You leave the screen ON YOUR WINDOW, stupid !

God gave most people at least a tiny brain. Guess he missed you.

If you don't have screens in your windows (why not?), you can always buy screen material at your local hardware store and attach it to the fan yourself. On the outside would be better; otherwise you'll get dead bugs accumulating inside the fan box.

This won't be perfect, though, beause you'll still likely have small gaps around the sides. Use lots of duct tape?

A 14 year old post and you don't even bother to answer the OP's question.

BTW the OP died 14 years ago from a massive insect attack.

I'm just discovering that some window fans now sit flush against window screens. So, I'm assuming that OP is in the same boat as me, and just discovering these flush window fans. But know I'm just realizing I'm responding to a 14 year old post. Now I feel dumb

I found your hostility towards a stranger because i need a fan for a window with no screen. And so yes, there is one that has a bug screen on rhe back, and, also has a thermal cover for the front to keep a draft out. Great idea. You are mean.
