I just installed a 16" fan, like Jon Smith... but i dunno how much CFM his
is... mine is 1600+ CFM, and it only cost $80 for the t-stat, and it came
with a Override switch.... (Gotta mount it today,,,)
But as the temp wasnt much over 40's You think 16" and 1600 CFM will be
ok, or will I need to mount another fan elsewhere, like a 10" or
something...

Anyone?
