Window fans

[VAHomegrown]

I just removed my window A/C unit for winter and need some recommendations for window fans. I like the traditional style 2x6" or 2x8" style fans but am open to your suggestions. The fan will be controlled using an Inkbird controller if needed but I see some fans are now including built in thermostats and humidistats. Need some expert opinions.

We have a "whole house fan" setup.
Big 12" inline in the attic that pulls air through the house through open windows and out the top.

I wish I had an attic fan on this house, it's so tiny they just relied on the vented soffits to allow the attic to breathe.
I use a widow A/C running on auto mode to force fresh air into the grow room & the room is vented into my attic space using 2, 6" online fans on controllers. With the cold weather and the A/C removed ive just been leaving that window slightly cracked, and noticed it getting a little stale in there. I was thinking the window fan would help push some cool fresh air into the space & keep it from being wide open. This is the style I'm looking at currently.

Those work really good, if ya can figure some kind of pre filter for it.

Depending on the local climate, this can lead to disaster.

Pics like this remind me of why I’m grateful I live where I do . Does your piss even get a chance to hit the ground or do you have to keep snapping it off ??‍♂️?

I've read that further north, where it gets really cold(<-50C), they can tell the approximate temp by whether or not your spit or piss freezes before it hits the ground. Apparently it makes a crackling sound.

Down here where it rarely hits -40 we don't have to deal with that.

This all fell in the last 24 hours. As you can see, I have plenty.

Just send me a box with your address and some stamps and you can have all you want.

Good idea. I could cut some circles out of the old style mesh HVAC filters and use them as pre filters.
