The important feature is the humidistat. Set it where you want to maintain the humidity level and that's it! It shuts off at 35F so no worries about a cold air draft freeing your pipes.

jpatton: This was needed to keep my crawl space drier after extensive water related issues were treated under my bedroom. Because this was a poorly done addition to this house, the crawl space is very low. Therefore the foundation vents are only about a foot beneath the subfloor. This fan is actually under my bed area. I can hear a gentle whirring noise when it is on. I choose to think of it as white noise, and it really doesn’t bother me. I know it’s helping pull moisture out, which is important, so I choose to not be bothered by the sound. The wiring is behind my wall.

AdrianAdrian: We had our crawlspace encapsulated last year and they didn't install an exhaust fan. Pretty soon we started to get the "cat pee" smell in the house that a lot of people seem to experience, which is actually ammonia being released from the soil. I didn't want to pay to have them come back and install a fan (which they should have done originally, but I didn't know that at the time), so I bought the Tjernlund V2D to install myself.
When I unboxed the fan it looked good and didn't feel cheap. I noticed that the frame was a little warped, but it easily flattened out when I screwed it in place, so this wasn't a big deal. Installation was pretty easy, but will vary depending on your situation. The vent opening I chose was larger than the fan, so I used some scrap plywood to make a frame. I secured the wood frame to the cinderblock with concrete screws and then secured the fan to the wood frame. I had to run a short extension cord to reach an outlet. Not ideal, but the fan has a very low amp draw.
We have a dehumidifier in the crawlspace (part of the encapsulation) and I was only concerned with evacuating the ammonia, so I set the fan to always run and it's been running...

M. Dowdie: I was concerned by some reviewers that said the ventilator was too loud. I am very sensitive to noises, especially mechanical ones. The ventilator I received is not loud at all. It is audible in the crawlspace and for a few feet just outside the vent, but I wouldn't consider it loud even standing right next to it. I can't hear it inside the house, even standing directly over where it is mounted.
To be cautious about sound and vibration, I used some weatherstripping between the ventilator and the block wall where it is mounted and also used rubber washers on the screws. I now believe none of that was necessary and noise would not have been an issue even without those precautions.
I have no reason to doubt that the ventilator is moving its rated CFM of air, but it is certainly not producing a gale force wind. I haven't had it installed long enough to know if it will really impact the temperature or humidity level in my crawlspace.
Update:
I've now noticed that when the house is very quiet and I'm in the room directly above the ventilator, I can hear it faintly inside the house. Any water running or central heat/air running are much louder than the...

Gregory H. Talley: My friend installed it for me because it's difficult for me to bend and turn in small spaces. I'm a senior citizen with disabilities from my 30 year military service.
