It Cools. It Ventilates. It Exhausts.
Whole house fans are a great way to provide NATURAL COOLING for your home. So how does it work? A whole house fan is used in lieu of air conditioning throughout the evening & night time, thus providing substantial energy savings. The purpose of the Whole House Fan is to accelerate the natural cooling effect of bringing cooler outside air into the house through open windows and flushing the heat out of your living and attic space.
By cooling surface temperatures for added comfort, the Whole House Fan differs from a conventional central air conditioner that recycles indoor air and generally does not provide attic cooling. Another primary reason for ventilating your home is to dilute indoor air pollutants, odors & excess moisture.
Whole house fans are most effectively used in dry, arid climates similar to Southern California & Nevada and can save a homeowner up to 75%-90% off their air conditioning bill, view whole house fan technical report authored by PG&E WHF Tech Sheet. Whole house fans are a great way to increase a home’s market value, by providing an energy-efficient cooling option, help to create a healthier home by ventilating out indoor air pollutants and asthma-triggering particles, and provide a fast rate of ROI (typically within 12 months). They just make sense.
Traditional whole house fans have been around for decades and although they are effective in reducing a home’s air conditioning usage, they are extremely loud when in use.
The QuietCool System is a “New Generation Product,” based on a proven method of whole-house cooling that has been around for years. It is the most versatile cooling and ventilating system on the market today!
The QuietCool fans are a multi-fan and multi-location system that moves large amounts of air per fan. A typical system would be to install one of our higher volume CFM fans in your hallway and a lower CFM fans in each occupied bedroom.
Simply multiply the square footage of your home by 2-3 to calculate the total CFM (airflow) and number of QC fans that you will need to purchase. Sizing your home for the proper amount of CFM’s is important, since insufficient air flow will not allow for the desired minimum of ten air exchanges per hour, which is recommended by the Home Ventilation Institute. Also, insufficient CFM may not produce an adequate breeze, which is needed to quickly cool the home, attic and skin temperature.
HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND EACH YEAR RUNNING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER?
The truth is, electricity prices are going up even higher! A large central A/C can consume over 5,000 watts per hour! Considering the high cost of electricity makes installing a QuietCool whole house system a smart decision. By slashing your A/C usage, the money you spent on installing your QuietCool Fans, can be recovered in a very short period of time. This huge savings will ultimately put money back in your pockets instead of the utility companies.
Whole House Fans Cool & Save Energy
QuietCool Fans can cut your AC cost 75%-90% – Our whole house fans draw cooler outside air in through your open windows which lowers the room temperature by as much as 10 to 20 degrees. Your open windows serve as intake vents, which allow you to control the air flow by selecting how many or which windows you open. Moving air, blowing through the whole house cools the occupant, click here for Operating Instructions.
The cooling breeze can lower the skin temperature by 5 to 10 degrees F. The fresh, cooler air, after passing through the living space, is forced into the existing attic which pushes the hot attic air out through the attic vents.
This can lower the attic air temperature by as much as 40 degrees F.
QuietCool fans have a built in damper system to seal the fan opening from the attic during cool months – QuietCool fans are 100% made in the USA and come with a 10-year warranty from QC Manufacturing Inc. Additionally, the whole house fan system provides many LEED points through the USGBC, the leading authority in Green Building. There are no belts or motorized doors to wear out. The QuietCool motors have lifetime lubrication and are maintenance free!
QUIETCOOL FANS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED TO THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION AS MEETING APPLICABLE EFFICIENCY STANDARDS.
