What is a whole house fan?
Whole house fans have been around since the 1950’s, and they do exactly what it sounds like, they circulate a lot of air! Whole house fans were first used as an inexpensive way to ventilate a home, cool it down, and save money; instead of turning on the air conditioning unit — which uses a lot of electricity, which costs a lot of money — whole house fans were designed as an alternative to A/C.

How does a whole house fan keep you cool?
When the Vent Cool whole house fan is turned on, the fan 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, and sometimes more.

Why a Vent Cool Whole House Fan?
With the “traditional” whole house fan, people often didn’t want to run it for very long, because it sounded like a helicopter in the attic. Whole house fans need to run for long periods of time in order to do their job properly. When we say Vent Cool Whole House Fans are quiet, we mean it! And they’ll help you to manage the heat in your home and save on your utility bills.

A whole house fan is designed to cool your home by drawing in cooler outdoor air and exhausting hot indoor air through the attic and roof. It works by creating a pressure difference that pulls fresh, cool air into your home through open windows or doors and then pushes hot, stale air out through the attic vents or other exhaust points. You can expect to save on your utility bills and enjoy more comfort.

The advantage of a whole house fan include:

1. Energy Efficiency: A whole house fan can help reduce your dependence on air conditioning by providing a natural and energy-efficient way to cool your home. By drawing in cooler air from outside and pushing out hot air through attic vents, a whole house fan can help lower the temperature inside your home without relying on air conditioning. This can help you save on energy bills, especially during the warmer months.
2. Improved Indoor Air Quality: Whole house fans can improve the indoor air quality of your home by removing stale and stagnant air, along with any pollutants or allergens that may be present. This can help alleviate symptoms for people who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues.
3. Quick and Efficient Cooling: A whole house fan can cool your home quickly and efficiently, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when the outside air is cooler. It can also help to create a refreshing breeze that can make your home feel more comfortable and inviting.
4. Increased Home Value: Installing a whole house fan can add value to your home, as it is considered a desirable feature by many homebuyers. It can also make your home more attractive to potential renters if you are considering renting out your property.
5. Eco-Friendliness: Whole house fans are environmentally friendly as they use less energy than air conditioning units. They also do not emit harmful greenhouse gases like refrigerants used in air conditioning units, which makes them a more sustainable cooling option for your home.
