LEARN HOW A WHOLE HOUSE FAN VENTILATES, AND COOLS YOUR HOME
When whole house fans are turned on, the fans will pull the cooler outdoor air into your home, through your windows, across your living space, into the attic, and out the attic vents, replacing the hot, stale air. This helps cool the home and attic by up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
When using a QuietCool whole house fan, we recommend starting by cooling the area which will be most occupied. For example, in most family situations, the early evening is spent in the kitchen and family room area. Assuming this is the case, it is where you would want to start cooling. As it gets later in the evening, and even cooler outside, we recommend opening more windows in other rooms of your home.
Then, when it is time to sleep, close all the windows in the home except those in the bedrooms that are occupied. This will provide each room with a cool breeze as long as needed. Remember when using a QuietCool system to be sure not to open too many windows or open any single window too wide. 3-6’’ and just a few windows will suffice to make your home a fresh-aired paradise.
COMFORT EXPLAINED IN 6 EASY STEPS
1. RUN YOUR A/C
Run your A/C during the middle of the day when it is the hottest outside.
2. OPEN WINDOWS
Any time it’s cooler outside than inside, typically in the morning and evening, turn off your A/C system and open a few windows.
3. TURN IT ON
Now that your windows are open, turn your QuietCool fan on by setting the speed and timer.
4. BRING FRESH AIR IN
QuietCool pulls in cool, fresh air from outside and expels hot, stale air out attic vents.
5. THERMAL MASS COOLING
As the QuietCool changes the air in the home 15 to 22 times per hour, the mass of the home is cooled down.
6. ENJOY COMFORT & SAVINGS
Your home has now been made cooler, healthier, and more comfortable, all while cutting back on running your A/C system during peak hours.
