It Cools. It Ventilates. It Exhausts.

Quiet Cool Saves You Money!

A whole-house fan is a home improvement product used to cool and ventilate your home. Whole house cooling is not a new concept. It has been around for many years.

How Does It Work?

Whole house fans are a great way to provide NATURAL COOLING for your home. 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. QuietCool whole house fans work quickly, quietly and efficiently.

Why Quiet Cool Whole House Fans?

Whole-house fans use far less energy than air conditioners; they cut cooling costs, save energy and save you money. Whole house fans typically use about one-fifth to one-tenth the electricity of comparably sized air conditioners. Used correctly, they can help you cut your air conditioning bills substantially.

Traditional whole house fans have been around for decades. Although they are effective in reducing a home’s air conditioning usage, they are extremely loud when in use and do not provide zone control ability. Whole house fans are most effectively used in dry, arid climates similar to Southern California & Nevada and can save a homeowner up to 75% off their air conditioning bill. Additionally, whole house fans are a great way to increase a home’s natural ventilation providing a healthier home by exhausting indoor air pollutants.

They just make sense. We are a preferred dealer and installer for the QuietCool whole house fan systems ~ “The Whisper Quiet Whole House Fan System”. Not only do they operate extremely quietly, they are a multi-unit system, enabling a homeowner to install the fans in the hottest rooms of their home. We have installed thousands of QuietCool whole house fan systems and have excellent referrals from all our customers.

The attic can reach temperatures in excess of 150 degrees F. in the summer and that air, if allowed to remain undisturbed, will radiate heat down through the insulation to heat the living space. Homes with tile roofs will even see a greater amount of heat retention. This is the main reason that a home without the use of whole-house fans, remains uncomfortably warm in summer evenings, and the reason that the upper floor of a multi-floor house is always warmer.
