Fan for Wood-Heated Homes
Can be installed in a standard 6-in. by 10-in. register boot
The ComfortGeni is a fan designed to move warm air from one room in a house to an adjacent room. It is especially useful in homes that have one room that gets too warm—perhaps due to a woodstove or to solar heat gain through windows—while adjacent rooms stay cool.
The ComfortGeni is designed to be installed in a standard 6-in. by 10-in. register boot, either in a wall or in a floor. The fans are powered by 12v DC motors—an included wall cube that plugs into a standard 120v outlet supplies the DC power—and the unit’s two fans draw only 14w.
There are two models: the ComfortGeni 4x and the ComfortGeni 6xr. The one you want to buy is the ComfortGeni 6xr. It is more powerful and quieter than the 4x—it is rated at 1 sone—and it costs only $20 more than its little brother. It is controlled by an adjustable thermostat, as well as by a remote-control unit.
The ComfortGeni 6xr has three speeds; the airflow rate ranges from 115 cfm at low speed to 150 cfm at high speed. The ComfortGeni 6xr can be purchased for about $145.
