Lomanco Power Vent Attic Fan Motor dead and I was looking to replace it a better and more quite one if it is possible.
You want to replace the whole unit or just the motor ?
If you wanted to change just the motor you would check with a place like Grainger. They sell all types of motors. They have cross reference charts to help find the correct motor.
I just want to replace the motor.ty
May as well buy a few of them, as they have the shortest life of anything around your house. Too much heat will fry the motors quickly. Have you ever thought of passive evacuation of hot air? Cheaper and more effective.
I have no clue about this one.sorry
Did we lose you ?
Chandler is talking about things like ridge vents where the heat is naturally convected thru an opening in the peak of the roof without a fan.
If you want to replace the motor you need to go up and write down all the parameters off the motor plate. If the motor is dead you may want to just go ahead and pull it out now. It's much easier trying to find a replacement with the motor out.
Word of caution.....you may have to remove the fan blades from the motor with it in place. Depending on how the motor is mounted you might not be able to remove the motor and blades together.
No u did not.Now I understand(ty for explaining) and I have changed the motor before I do have the motor out like u said and will this be(Master Flow 1/5 HP Replacement Motor Model # PVM11) any good sold in hp?ty
Did you check on warranty replacement? Many attic fans have lifetime warranties on the motor.
EDIT Looks like Lomanco is only 5 yrs I guess.
it is 12 years old.Is it 1/5 hp better than 1/7 hp and lomanco 1/10 hp or not really?
As has been said....pull the old motor out and go to a motor shop or Graingers or similar and get a comparable motor. You want to keep the same HP rating if possible. Less HP will put a strain on the motor...more HP will put a strain on the wiring and controls. 1/5 vs 1/4...no big deal. 1/10 (which I've never heard of for this application) vs 1/5...yeah...kind of a big difference.
It lasted 12 yrs? Thats a lot better than what most people report
A 1/5 or 1/7 hp motor will work ok. Keep in mind..... the physical size of the motor, the rotation direction, the shaft size and speed should match what your current motor was.
When you change to a different size motor.....all parameters must be checked.
1/10 selling in amazan and couple of other places and it is lomanco.For like u guys said get the one that worked for twelve years than one that even won't match( have to learn hard way),unless put a whole new one.tyvm and I will replace soon and let u know thanks again.
