[QUOTE="foxmulder, post: 260475, member: 8469"] Your best to not add length to that wire, more splices mean more chances of fire. The scariest part is that, that is in an already hot attic, so if your drawing a ton of current and those splices heat up, that wood could start to burn and you wouldn't know until it's too late. As was mentioned, that should have its own independent breaker and a dedicated line straight to the fan. For your familys safety, honestly disconnect that fan, put the splice in a proper junction box, and get an electrician to add that gable fan. You could always add attic vents to let some heat out, you can even add on a couple of turbine vents. Sorry if it sounds harsh, don't mean it to sound that way. Electricity isn't something to be messed with, without Proper training. [/QUOTE]
