[Shop-talk] ETL testing

[Phil Nase]

I just bought a widow fan that was tested by ETL - Intertek.

I never saw this before.  I've only seen UL listed on electric  
appliances.  Is this certification acceptable for safe use.  I don't  
want it burning down the house.  El Cheapo fan, $40 from Lowes.  Made  
in China.

I really want to invest in a whole house fan as my heat pump A/C  
doesn't cut it on the second floor of my Cape Cod.  Who do I call.   
HVAC or Electricians?

Any products to watch out for or recommendations?
