Actually, I've purchased a number of motors for attic fans for far less than the whole fan costs. Also, who really wants to get up on the roof and replace the old fan enclosure, since it's pretty difficult to find the exact replacement for a 15-20 year old installation! Even if the complete fan were cheaper, the labor to install it sure isn't!

Don't know just where my dad looked around at but he replaced the whole thing and to me that is not right when you only need the motor. Like I said keep info on the fan. You can keep the paper word on it up at the underside of the roof at the fan so it is right there. I bet even if he can to call and order it it would of been cheaper and a whole lot more easy then going up to the roof top.
