Simple Fan Unit Pulls Out Stale, Damp Air
You can get the musty smell out of basements or other areas with the XchangeR reversible fan from Tjernlund Products, Inc. The dual fan module can be set so both units bring in fresh air, or you can reverse both modules and exhaust the air instead. You can also reverse just one, and move air in both directions at once.
The self-contained unit can be installed by practically anyone, suggests Andrew Tjernlund. “If you are comfortable cutting a hole in the wall, you can install our fan,” he says. “The rest is easy. There is no wiring to be done. Just plug in the cord.”
Reversing the fan modules is easy, too. Simply pull them out, rotate and reinsert, adds Tjernlund.
The compact fan is only 16 in. long, 12 in. wide and 4 7/8 in. high with an outside vent that is 5 3/4 in. long, 14 1/4 in. wide and 7 1/8 in. high. The difference in size is due to the dual fans on the inside.
The two fans can be turned on or off manually or operated automatically by adjusting a dehumidistat control. The outside hood can be removed for easy cleaning of the screen. A plug-in speed control can be added for use with any plug-in timer.
Suggested manufacturer’s retail price is $200, but Tjernlund says the fan can often be found for less. A similar unit designed for crawl spaces with concrete block foundations is priced at up to $150.
