Whole-House Fans

Has your home been feeling stuffy lately? If so, talk to one of our technicians about a whole-house fan installation. Air conditioners can cool the air, but sometimes they need a little help circulating that fresh breeze throughout your home.

If you’re ready to boost your cooling system and benefit from some energy savings, we can provide you with a whole-home fan installation.

What is a Whole Home Ceiling Fan

In homes with an existing HVAC system, heating and cooling units share ductwork to move air throughout the house. These systems function by circulating the same air through the ducts repeatedly. While it does make the system run more efficiently, it also creates stale air and decreases indoor air quality.

In contrast, a whole-house fan is placed in a centralized location within your home. It constantly brings in the fresh air and pushes out the stale air through a vent in the attic. This constant air movement allows cooler outdoor air to drift into your home, cooling it even more.

A whole-house fan can better cool your home than your cooling unit under the following circumstances:

• The inside of your house is warmer than the outside
• You want your home to be cooler
• The air is drier outside than inside
• So, turn on the fan, crack open a window or two, and your home will be feeling cooler in no time.

Benefits of Whole House Fans

After an expert installation from our team, you will enjoy many benefits.

Whole-house fans:

• Use a fraction of energy compared to a central AC system
• Take advantage of cool temperatures at night and morning
• Disperse heat and moisture out of attic spaces
• Help you save energy

In addition, you’ll always know the upfront cost of the job before we begin, so there are no surprises.

Modern Fans for Your Whole Home

Older whole-house fans are challenging to install and make quite a bit of noise. As a result, they get shut off after a short period of use. We can provide you with a whole-house fan replacement that will operate quietly and be well-balanced.

Types of Whole House Fans

Like many appliances, there are various types of whole-house fans you can choose from. You may need to talk to one of our professional installers to understand which one is best for your home.

The three basic types are:

• Standard fans
• Fans with insulated door
• Inline fans

No matter which fixtures you choose, the most critical factor is proper installation to prolong the lifespan of your investment. Installing a whole-house fan is not something you want to take on as a DIY project!
