I installed a crummy fan from Lowes, and HD had nothing better. I wish I
had
gone to Grainger and paid more money. A whole-house fan is not a cooling
device per se, but a wind-making device for which a window has to be open,
and/so I don't think you want a thermostat at all. Just a good switch.
Maybe
a timed switch, the kind you wind up to 60 minutes. Again, try Grainger.

I just had one put in from HD. Just what do you not like about it? Mine
has only been running a month or so, but everything seems fine. Do these
units have a reputation? Mine is a 30 inch Master Flow with belt drive.
