I want to install a gable fan in my attic. My gable vents face North and South. I live in the North East (NY) I wonder which end of the house the fan should be mounted? I also wonder with a ridge vent on the roof, will a gable fan draw air "in" from the ridge vent?
Forget the fan. Just make sure the ridgevent as vent to draw fresh air from.
Hi, Forget not, the intake side. Tony
Exactly what I was trying to say.
I would install the fan the farthest from my bedroom. So I did not hear it at night.

A ridgevent is the best kind of venting system you can have. But you need air vent to draw outside air from. Hopefully you have venting in the overhangs of your house. There are formulars to calculate what you need. I doubt you need the fan.

Will a gable fan run at night? I figured they turned off thermostatically by 10PM, like my roof fan.

My attic has uninsulated AC tubes snaking around. I just shake my head when I see them. If I were going to take action to increase cooling I would start with insulating them.
