Anyone who knows these systems knows that this is a most retarded set-up.
Your sucking the air in at the same elevation as your output. Sure it looks pretty but it's very inefficient. Just a dumb set up.

sweet. I think I would wanna put a dryer hole from the intake to the floor at my shop. I went to your site.. nice. I wish you sold the fan kit by itself. If you did that would be awesome :- ) if not I will have to do it myself.

Installation looks great! Did you make that panel? It looks well made, except for one thing. You will increase the efficiency of the unit if you draw the colder air into the panel from a point close to the floor and return the hot air near the ceiling. This will make it much more efficient. By bringing the hot air level in the room down to the floor. Right now you are just circulating hot air at the ceiling. I know it means cutting 2 holes instead of one, but it's well worth it.
Starfiresolar: The unit can be configured with the vent/intake at the bottom of the floor. In this installation, there was a fence outside that made this impossible.The better way to increase efficiency is to make sure that the heated air is circulated throughout the rest of the house using a furnace fan or other means. Because you're only putting one hole through the wall, installation times are decreased which lowers the overall costs. Thanks for the comment,
cheers,
