Featuring dual high-volume fans, a smart thermostat, and a retractable power cord reel, it exchanges garage air 2-3 times per hour while consuming only 44 watts. Its louvered exhaust vents and screened intake prevent debris entry, ensuring a cleaner, cooler, and healthier garage environment. Perfect for professionals seeking a low-maintenance, high-performance upgrade to protect vehicles, electronics, and stored items. ## Description From the Manufacturer Air exchange system for two car garage. Includes two fans, two vents, retractable power cord reel, thermostat and installation hardware. The automatic retracting cord reel mounts to the garage door opener bracket and provides power to the system. The thermostat turns the fans on and off when the desired temperature is reached. The high volume fans exchange the air in a typical garage 2-3 times per hour. The louvered exhaust vents open when the fans are running and close when the fans shut off. The intake vents have a screen filter to prevent debris from being drawn into the garage. Review: Well built and assembled kit that works perfect for my application - I'm actually using this for crawlspace venting. My crawl has no source of heat and my floors were cold, so I cut a small hole in a closet with louvered doors and hooked these motors up to pull heat. My house is about 1500 sqft and they are keeping my crawl at a steady 60 degrees! No more cold floors when its 20 outside!!! I set the thermostat to 60 and they cycle on and off as needed. PERFECT. Kit seems very well built motor casings are metal and the wiring is all heavy gauge for the tiny amount of power they pull. My honest opinion.....these are great well built PC motors which do pull a good bit of air with very little power, however a 2 car garage might be a bit large for them to adequately vent on a super hot day. As for my application, they work perfectly and push a great deal of air around between them. Perfect crawlspace vents!!! Review: Installed in metal door with modifications - I installed this in my garage in Texas where I have some electronics running 24/7. There are a few limitations that should be mentioned in the description but are not: - This kit assumes you have a thick (probably wood) garage door. If you have a thin metal door you'll need to either get some other mounting hardware or make some wood gaskets (which is what I did as shown in the pictures). Also the wire ties won't mount with the included screws since they expect to be drilled into thick material. - You need a single garage door since there's only one control box and cord reel. If you have two separate garage doors then you'll need to buy two kits if you want a fan on both doors. Tools used: - 4 1/2" Hole Saw (you can find cheaply on desertcart, don't forget the shank as well) https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0000DD1OU https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00004RGZQ - Drill (corded or cordless). If you get the shank above you'll need one with larger than a 3/8" chuck. - Phillips Screwdriver or cordless driver - 3/8" socket (for mounting reel hardware) - Dremel tool with grinding bit (to finish up holes in metal door) To make/mount wooden gaskets: - 3/4 pine board - Table saw - Drill press - C clamps to hold in place on door while drilling the mounting holes Cut board into 6 1/2" square pieces and drill 4 1/2" hole in center. Be sure to clamp down well when drilling. Clamp down to door over large hole already drilled, then drill out the mounting holes. Make the fan mounting holes 1/16" larger in the wood to allow room for screws to move around a bit and align with the fan body holes. Overall it took me probably 4hrs, which included the additional part fabrication. The cord reel mounted easily, and once the holes were all drilled assembly went pretty smooth. I wasn't a big fan of the strain relief on the cord at the door end since the cord wanted to keep sliding through the ball mount, so I took another zip tie and mounted that tight to the cord just behind the ball mount to keep it from sliding through. Also the screws for mounting the fans are extremely long. I'll probably cut them down eventually. Fans are reasonably quiet and move a fair amount of air. Overall the temp has dropped maybe 5-8F vs. what it was before. It's not drastic, but it does help compared to having nothing. Maybe a bit pricey for the end result, but since there's few options for ventilation that didn't require a hole in the wall this will do for now. ## Features - Removes excess heat, humidity and fumes from garage - Energy efficient - uses only 44 watts during operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004LKRPAI | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Certification | No, certified frustration-free | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (26) | | Date First Available | February 14, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 8 pounds | | Item model number | VG200 | | Manufacturer | Alert Stamping | | Part Number | NaN | | Product Dimensions | 6.6 x 12.3 x 7.2 inches | | Size | 12X8X8 | | Special Features | Energy Efficient | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Description | 3 year limited. | | Wattage | 44 watts | ## Images ![VG200 Vent-a-Garage Air Exchange System for Two Car Garage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QPmER4ycL.jpg) ![VG200 Vent-a-Garage Air Exchange System for Two Car Garage - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zwvBlDqBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the CFM output of the fans?** A: I don't see the CFM output listed on the fans however I can tell you that this product works great! I have a oversize 2 car garage that used to trap fumes. I plugged in an automatic timer to go off every other 15 minutes to activate the fans. Garage always has fresh air in it now and no more fumes! **Q: Which is best, motors on top of door or on the bottom?** A: Motors on top - warm air rises vents on bottom. However, systen does not do much at all. Woulsn'rt advise anyone to install it. **Q: My garage temperature ranges from about 100 to 105 degrees. Are the small fans strong enough to remove that kind of heat?** A: The kit works best with insulated doors but we see a temp drop from 10 -15 degrees. This is also based on how much direct sun the garage gets. At my house when the fans are on there is resistant to the laundry door that's in the garage. Most of our customers are people that try to drop the temp down to the room closest to the garage.Thank you,Lou **Q: Where do these mount?** A: They mount in the hole you cut. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built and assembled kit that works perfect for my application *by K***1 on December 29, 2016* I'm actually using this for crawlspace venting.
