Energy Savings Indoor Air Quality
Whole house fans are great for cooling down your home in the summer, but did you know they should be used all year round? Whole house fans offer many benefits, from increasing energy savings to improving indoor air quality.
Here are our best tips for using your whole house fan every season.
What is a whole house fan, and how do it work?
A whole house fan is installed in your home’s attic. It draws cool air from outside, through open windows and doors, across the ceiling of your home, and into your attic. This creates a breeze, lowering the temperature inside your home while cooling the roof and walls of your house.
Whole house fans operate on a timer and can be set up to run for hours at a time, allowing for more efficient cooling or heating. They can also be programmed to turn on when the temperature reaches a certain point, so they don’t waste energy. Because whole house fans pull air from all over your home, they’re best used as part of an overall energy efficiency plan.
