Air Vent 58030 2SPD Wall Switch, 1-(Pack), White

The Air Vent wall switch is the perfect replacement for the old style rotator style switches. Its modern look and ease of installation and function can't be beat. We like how easy it is to switch the whole house fan on and off to the different speeds now. Just press the bottom of the switch and the fan is on low, press the top of the switch and its on high. We have also noticed the fan seems to run smoother and quieter with this switch in comparison to the old switch, not sure why but it could have been a power feed problem with the old switch. Installation of this switch is straight forward if you understand basic electrical wiring. Instructions are included within the bi-fold packaging card showing the correct wiring diagram for hooking up wires. Over all we are pleased with the switch and its operation.

It took a while to receive due to shipping delays. But so glad it arrived safely and in perfect condition. My husband replaced an old switch we've had for 30 years so it looks so much better. It works as it should. I definitely recommend this seller.

I bought this switch for a whole house fan. I broke the original one that came with the fan when trying to separate it from the switch plate - I was connecting to a timer and wanted to use a two gang outlet cover instead of the one it came with. Anyway, this one arrived today, works perfectly, plus has three advantages over the original: - It's standard size so I can use a normal outlet cover, the one that came with my fan is an odd size and so I was not sure what I was going to do when I wanted to replace with a two gang cover. - A very minor point, but I prefer that "off" is in the middle like this one has; press up for high speed or down for low speed. On the original, off is on top so in order to use low speed you have to press past high speed. - It's significantly less expensive than replacing with the part that GAF sells.

First off, the description for the product was wrong. It is described as a rotary switch, but shows the picture of a 2-speed rocker switch. Then, when I proceeded to checkout, the picture shows a 2 speed rotary switch. I did NOT receive a rotary switch, but a rocker Hi/Low switch, which is what I intended to order. Amazon really needs to clean up the details to avoid buyer confusion so customers can save time and frustration and order what they need. I ordered this switch to install with a 2-speed whole house fan. It came with a small standard switch, and I wanted a larger decora type switch instead. I connected it along with a Leviton LTB02-1LZ DECORA 1800W Incandescent/20A Resistive-Inductive 1HP Preset 15-30-60-120 Minute Countdown Timer Switch, with the load output of the timer switch connecting to the Load screw on the 2-way switch where the hot (black) wire would normally go. It appears to be well made and works well so far. The only complaints I have are: 1) There were no instructions that came with the unit. This wasn't a big deal, except I didn't know which screw was for "high" and which was for "low". There is an A1 connection on the top, and a B1 connection on the bottom. Now, I assumed the A1 would be for "high" since the it was next to the "high" button. This was wrong, and I had to reverse the wires. Not a big deal, but some instructions would've been nice and would've save me some time. 2) The terminal screws are threaded into a flat piece of metal that holds the screw in place, while allowing the head of the screw to move away from the switch enough to fit your wire. Well, I didn't realize that if I unscrewed it too much, that piece of metal would fall back inside the device and be a pain to line up again. I probably should've realized the configuration before unscrewing it all the way, but as a force of habit I did it without thinking. Again, not a big deal, but another time waster as I struggled to get the screw reattached. Overall, I'm pleased with the product and would recommend it.

Was pretty easy to hook up. Make sure to shut off your power to the switch before remove the old switch unless you are comfortable working with a hot wire. It looks much better than my black twist knob switch with a stainless color plate. It seems to work well. One thing I noticed is in the listing it shows the correct switch but when I was sent the order Information, it showed the incorrect switch (a white twist knob). But I recieved the correct flat Decora style switch. Overall, I'm happy with it!

Installed for attic fan that the previous rocker switch fell apart. It was easy to install (about 10 min). The wires from the fan are seated into the back of the switch. High and low speeds work like they should. I read a few reviews where they said the high and low speeds were reversed...switch the speed control wires around and you’re good to go. Would recommend and buy again if it comes to it.

After a picture fell off the wall and snapped the wall switch off my 1960’s Windmaker all metal switch(picture weighs 30 pounds) I came across this one. Package came sealed but was missing one of the white headed cover screws. Turns out this screw is the same threading as standard switch cover screws. My house has zero ground wires in walls so just needed to determine common, high, and low wires. Used multimeter to determine common wire before switching off breaker and the other 2 wires happened to be color coded correctly. High, low, and off work as expected but button is flimsy feeling and even the plastic bends a little as your pressing on it to change speeds. Button just feels mushy and doesn’t have a positive snap to any position. I know this won’t last like the original but also think I’ll be replacing this in less than 10 years. This is a good replacement but not great.
