Why Install a Garage Fan?
In Southern climates, garage temperatures can reach more than 25° hotter than outside temperatures, and attics can reach a blistering 150°.
Because of these high temperatures, your AC is forced to work longer and harder, and valuable items stored in the garage can experience damage due to excessive heat. This leads to higher electric bills and extra wear and tear on the AC unit.
How Solatube® Garage Fans Work
Our garage fan pulls in fresh air while expelling stale, hot air, creating a cooling effect. The fan’s advanced design and adjustable thermostat make it easy to set and maintain your ideal garage temperature, improving comfort and reducing heat-related damage to stored items.
The GF1200 is engineered to ventilate standard-sized garages with attic space above. It works by drawing in cooler, fresher air from the outside and expelling hot, stale air that builds up in your garage and attic. This process helps regulate indoor temperatures while also removing dangerous vapors from stored chemicals, gasoline, solvents, and automotive exhaust.
For homeowners who use their garage as a gym, storage area, or hobby space, the GF1200 helps create a safer and more comfortable environment. It features a high-efficiency motor that delivers powerful airflow with minimal energy consumption. The included Comfort Control remote allows for easy operation, and the insulated ducting system minimizes noise during use. Plus, the removable, dishwasher-safe intake grill makes maintenance quick and easy.
With the GF1200, you not only get heat reduction—you also reduce exposure to common airborne pollutants that can affect your family’s respiratory health.

Garage fans actually save more energy that you might think! Garage fans work by bringing cooler air into the garage from the outside using vents. When this air is brought into the garage, there is no need to use additional fans or air conditioning systems that utilize an abundance of energy.
At the same time, a garage fan eliminates heat-build up that can be extremely difficult to dissipate and often overworks cooling systems causing them to perform inefficiently.
Finally, a garage fan saves energy by giving you complete control of your system. Whether you need to save energy or save on your electric bill, you always have the option to turn the system down or off, depending on your needs and preferences. Contact us today and we’ll show you how it works!
Absolutely! Not to worry – your garage fan will stay quieter than most air conditioning systems and other fan options thanks to its Patented Quiet Hush Mount Design and insulated ducting. You can also decrease the volume simply by adjusting the thermostat to turn the system down. Our team will happily show you how to make these adjustments to ensure that the operation stays quiet even as your system ages.
If your garage fan does ever begin making loud noises or becomes loud enough to be disruptive, this is a red flag and you should address this quickly. Excessively loud noise usually indicates something is wrong with the fan or that it needs a thorough cleaning. Regardless, give us a call and we’ll get it working like new!
Garage fans are extremely easy to clean. Unlike other fans, they do not have as many small parts that can catch and collect dust and debris. They are also made with an easily removable and dishwasher-safe intake grill for quick, easy cleaning. No need to spend hours cleaning your fan, we like to keep it simple!
Be sure to clean your fan on a regular basis, as dust build-up can inhibit performance and cause issues in the long run. This is especially true if you create a lot of dust, smoke, or debris within your garage due to your daily activities. Usually a good, thorough cleaning at the beginning of each season is enough to keep everything in working order. If you need help, we’re just a phone call away!
You sure can! It’s easy to change the temperature in your garage using the fan system and an adjustable thermostat.

These systems are very user-friendly and shouldn’t require much maintenance at all. However, if you do have a problem, our team is happy to come pay you a visit. We’ll evaluate the issue and demo the system’s capabilities again if necessary.
