Top 10 Reasons to get a Whole House Fan

Are you miserably hot all summer long? Like really hot… where your upstairs is almost unbearable, and you’re feeling that sweaty, uncomfortable, stick-to-everything kind of hot. Everyone has.

Of course, you can cave in and run the most expensive appliance in your home, the air conditioning system. But the thing about running your A/C system is that they are, in fact, a closed loop system that only cools the ambient air around you and not the thermal mass of your home.

You have probably experienced the cycling on and off that your a/c system does constantly during the heat of summer. This is because the thermal mass keeps reheating the ambient air, all day and all night long. Because of this, your A/C will probably run for about 20 minutes and then turn off. Then after another 20 minutes, it will turn back on. This will happen constantly. And because it is only running for 20 minutes at a time, the system is operating at its worst efficiency.

The solution is QuietCool. QuietCool is a whole house fan which you run during the cooler hours of the day and cools your entire home within a matter of minutes while running for just a few pennies per hour.

But that doesn’t quite tell you the entire story. Here are 10 key reasons why whole house fans are an effective and efficient cooling ventilation solution.

KEEP YOUR ATTIC COOLER BY UP TO 50 DEGREES

Whole house fans also cool your attic by up to 50 degrees. A hot attic makes the inside of your home hot and can cause issues with appliances located in your attic. A whole house fan keeps both your home and attic cool and ventilated.

Thermal Mass Cooling

It’s one thing to cool the ambient air in your home, but if the mass of your home (the structure, walls, flooring, insulation, furniture, attic, etc.) stays hot, it’s difficult and more expensive to cool the home the next time. By cooling all the mass of the house, whole house fans allow them to stay much cooler (by as much as 30-50 degrees) the following day. So overall costs to keep your home cool are significantly lower, especially, compared to air conditioning. Whole house fans are a fraction of the cost to run.

Using a whole house fan to cool your home reduces the amount of time your A/C is in operation during the year, prolonging its lifespan and the cost to repair or replace your A/C system.
