Review on πŸ”§ Efficient Replacement Motor for Lomanco Power Vent: F0510B2944 by Sidewinders Rains

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good attic fan, probably better quality than most

3rd Lomanco motor in 25 years of house ownership. Not bad, but at some point everything collapses. I look forward to another 7 years or so. Also replaced with a new Lomanco thermostat. I removed the previous Lomanco humidistat as it was more of a pain than a benefit and just made wiring and fan operation more difficult. I used my old fan blades as they were a bit dirty but otherwise not bent and in good condition. The motor is a PIA that needs replacing in a hot, cramped attic (the owner shows how he did it on YouTube). I have found that I can run the whole old motor with the fan still connected and mount the new one outside of the attic with more comfort, space and ease. Then remake the new motor with the fan attached to the case. But I don't want to do it for a long time. So now it works fine. Saved the expense (about $500) of having a local roofer (not Lomanco but a local brand) replace and install a new attic fan. I put a few drops of oil in the 2 engine oil ports as directed in the instructions to extend engine life. Overall a good fan but missing 1 star (4 stars) for the needless rudeness of Lomanco customer service.
