QuietCool Whole House Fans Review

It is the most versatile cooling and ventilating system on the market today! It Cools. It Ventilates. It Exhausts.

Why Ventilation is important:
Effective ventilation is a process that keeps the air circulating and exchanges the over-heated and moisture-laden air in your house with cooler air from outside.

Most homes built today are sealed tight during the construction process and allow almost no air infiltration. This is efficient for heating and air-conditioning a home (heating and air-conditioning systems re-circulate the same old, inside air over and over again) but makes it all the more necessary to ventilate.

Without ventilation, moisture, cooking odors, tobacco smoke, and other foul-smelling odors are locked into the house and cannot escape.

Moisture in the air comes from everyday activities such as cooking, bathing, laundering, and even breathing. Moisture that is allowed to remain in a closed house can create many problems for the homeowner. The most serious is mold growth, which can seriously threaten the health of all the people in the house. Mildew is another problem, which is usually encountered around showers and laundry facilities. The moisture in these areas generally causes problems with peeling paint and wallpaper, but under the surface, structural damage may be taking place.

Moisture can also be present in the attic and this dampness can deteriorate the insulation and also cause structural damage.

The Quiet Cool System is a “New Generation Product”:
Based on a proven method of whole-house cooling that has been around for years. It is the most versatile cooling and ventilating system on the market today! It Cools. It Ventilates. It Exhausts. The Quiet Cool fans are a multi-fan and multi-location system that moves large volumes of air (CFM) per fan.
The Quiet Cool Fans are easy to install and have insulated self-closing, damper doors, that create a positive closure to prevent air from freely flowing from the house to the attic when the fans are not in operation.

Most importantly, the Quiet Cool fans are attached in a hanging position from your attic rafters, away from your living area to provide tremendously quiet operation, less than 0.4 sones (a sone is a subjective unit of loudness). The next quietest fan on the market is about 3.0 sones, more than 7 times higher than the Quiet Cool System!

One of the main reasons that other manufacturer’s fans are much louder than the Quiet Cool fans is because their fans are mounted on wood framing in the attic and flush to your ceiling, (this places the motor directly above your living space which =’s NOISE).
The Quiet Cool system is designed to cool and ventilate your entire home by pulling warm, stale air up and out of the home while drawing fresh cool air in. Insulated, air conditioning grade ducting is used in the Quiet Cool systems to reduce irritating fan noise. The Quiet Cool fans are so quiet, they can be installed in any room (with attic access), including bedrooms and can be operated while you soundly sleep! You have the option of privacy when operating the Quiet Cool fans with the bedroom doors closed! This is a benefit never before seen with traditional whole house fans, that are usually mounted in a hallway or in a central location.

Whole house fans are rated according to the amount of air they can move. This is measured in cubic feet of air per minute, or CFM. In order to be effective, a whole house fans CFM rating should be 2 to 3 times the square footage of the house.
For example, a 1,500 square foot house should have a whole house fan system capable of moving 3,000 to 6,000 CFM of airflow.
Overall attic venting is the only limiting factor on how many CFM can be efficiently moved. Attic venting can be easily increased by adding vents. Too many CFMs of airflow without the proper attic venting can cause undue stress on the whole house fan and pressurizes the attic and walls. Too little CFM’s will not provide the desired minimum of air exchanges per hour as recommended by national ventilation experts and may not provide the cooling draft to lower house, attic, and skin temperatures in a timely fashion.

The Quiet Cool fans can be controlled individually or multiple fans can be wired to a wall timer with a double or triple switch. With this flexibility you can control when, where, and how much air flow moves through your home by simply turning on or off your Quiet Cool fans to reach the ideal comfort level. For example, you could turn off your Quiet Cool fan in the kids room and leave the fans in the master bedroom or hallway on (with the bedroom doors opened or closed). Turn on all of your fans to increase your CFM to cool your entire house.

In many climates, a Quiet Cool system may even eliminate the need for an air conditioner. Quiet Cools are more energy efficient than air conditioning, and that’s good news for your pocketbook and the environment.
The Quiet Cool fans are maintenance free and simple to install. There are no motorized doors, no plastic fan blades, no specialized framing or custom carpentry requirements and there are no belts to replace. The fan blades are metal not plastic.
A standard 3-prong, 6′ power cord is included (with most models). This option allows for simply plugging the fans into an a/c attic outlet and using an switch, X-10 or Insteon remote system (not included) to turn the fans off/on. For traditional installations, you can easily remove the 6′ power cord for standard hard wiring to 6 hour wall timers (this is the recommended installation method).

The Quiet Cool fans are 100% made in the USA and come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

Besides the cooling and energy saving benefits that you realize when you use whole-house fans, they are also an excellent way to provide whole house ventilation.

We are proud that many utility companies recognize and value and the ability of our system to conserve substantial amounts of electricity on cooling in conjunction with your air conditioner. They are willing to pay thousands of dollars in rebates to have the Quiet Cool fan systems installed in homes. Whole house fans save energy, money and are good for the environment.
Add this new technology to your home and you can easily save up to 90% on your electric bill. By choosing to finance with low monthly payments, your savings may actually be greater than your monthly payments. Throw in energy saving rebates and that makes Quiet Cool Fans a very smart investment!
