Whole House Fan Denver

A whole house fan is a type of fan or exhaust system that is installed in the attic of a home that is designed to circulate, exhaust, and ventilate air. A whole house fan is often confused with an attic fan which only exhausts the hot air inside the attic rather than the entire volume of air inside of the home.

Whole house fan technology has been around for over 50 years. QuietCool has taken this idea and developed the world’s most quiet and energy-efficient fans on the market.

No, we recommend that you open very few select windows to match the proper net-free venting of your home. The best way to use your system is to crack a window on the opposite side of your bedroom or hallway. This causes your fan to pull the air all the way across your bedroom or hallway to help cool your entire home quickly and efficiently.

We do not recommend using a thermostat when using a QuietCool Whole House Fan System. When using our system. you need to always have a window open. When using a thermostat you have no one to open a window in your house when the thermostat turns on your system automatically.

The amount of time it takes to cool your home depends on many factors such as type of system, location, time of day, etc. The QuietCool Whole House Fan System will instantly start cooling your home with 15-22 complete air exchanges per hour.

To determine what system you need we simply use a ratio of 2, 2.5, and 3 CFM for every 1 square foot of your home. This will give you a basic, advanced, and superior system, respectively. We recommend closer to 3 CFM but no less than 2 CFM for the QuietCool whole-house fan system to work at its full potential.

Venting plays a huge part in how your QuietCool whole-house fan system works to its full potential. You can only bring in as much air as you can discharge out of your attic vents. We always recommend at least having 1 SQFT of net-free area venting for every 750 CFM in your system.

You can determine how much venting you have by simply measuring the height and width of each vent. Once you measure your vents you want to reduce the total of net free venting by 25%. You reduce it by 25% because of the restrictions your vents have. Your vents have restrictions such as lovers, filters and etc.

Please check with your local building codes for each vent, we also have some listed in our installation manual. Find your model on our documentation page and download the respective installation manual. If you have vaulted or cathedral ceilings, you will want to lean closer to 3 CFM per SQFT due to the increase in air volume in your home.

With the proper amount of ventilation and properly installed, there should be no effect on the attic insulation in your home.

The QuietCool whole-house fan system works best in the early morning and evening time. You want to run your system whenever the outside temperature is cooler than the inside of your home. You can also use your QuietCool whole house fan system in the winter during the warmest time of the day for several minutes to remove any odors, pet dander, smoke, or any foul smells.

You can get the best use of your system by running your fan in the early morning and evening, and then closing up all your windows in your house. Doing this will cool off your attic/home and it will take a lot longer for your home to heat up. This will allow you to stay cool and save money.

Yes, you can run it during the daytime but only when it is cooler outside than the temperature inside your home.

We do not recommend running your A/C with your QuietCool Whole House Fan System at the same time. It would cool your home but it would be very expensive and not the best solution.
