They also make fans that go inside the vents, but they cost more than the type of fan I have. Jesse,

They won't work at all for a ceiling vent. We bought them for our old apartment. We bought a house with the vents in the ceiling so these wouldn't help. We decided to keep them in my wife's office. This morning I decided to search for this type of device. Wow! This was easier to find than the other one when I looked for it. I too have a problem with how far it is to a plug, but I thought of a solution. Measure how far it has to go from the vent to a plug. Take it to an electrician and have them install a wire in the fan that is up to code and long enough to reach. No extension cords and you then know that the fan is safe(er).

I tacked the wire neatly along the ceiling and it is close to a window, so I ran a cord along the window sill. It isn't perfect, but it makes the room comfortable and saves us money. I guess you can't argue with that. ;) Brip Blap,

Unfortunate because I got really excited at first thinking about this concept... argh! So close!

I looked at getting a couple of those for two of my problem rooms but my vent registers are in the ceiling and would not look too good with a cord hanging down. I also think it said something about them being for floor or wall registers only, I think. Great post Ryan!

There is a 12 volt power adapter with a 6 foot cord that plugs into the unit. I modified the article with the updated info. :) Hi Dong, great question.

Though I'm curious where does it draw it's power? Do i need to wire it? I would definitely be interested in something like that in the condo I rent out.
