Essential Info

Have you avoided installing an expensive air conditioning unit just because you don't want the corresponding increased electric bills? As a practical, affordable alternative to air conditioning, install the Whole House Fan, which is designed to cool and ventilate your entire home by bringing in fresh air from the outside. This easy-to-install system sets up in about an hour, and it can save you hundreds on your energy bills by circulating air at 1500 cubic feet per minute, exchanging the hot, humid air from the inside of your home for the cooler, fresh air outside.

Due to excessive weight, Smarthome will add a heavy-item shipping charge to this item. This charge will be reflected in the shipping amount on the check-out page.

    How It Sets Up and Works
    The 16" diameter fan easily attaches to most attic rafters. The only visible piece is the 14" diffuser/vent in the ceiling. The assembled unit arrives equipped with four steel damper doors for a well-sealed closure when the fan is off to eliminate any unwanted air coming in or escaping out of your home. A thermal safety overload switch has been added to prevent the unit from overheating. The unit is maintenance free. There are no filters to replace or belts to change, and this long-lasting fan carries a 3-year warranty.

    Quiet Air-Cooling System Saves Significantly Over Air Conditioning
    Insulated air conditioning-type ducting assists the system in eliminating any irritating fan noise. The Whole House Fan is so quiet, it can even be installed in your bedroom and can be used while you're sleeping. This inexpensive system costs an average of about four cents per hour to operate. Energy costs vary by location, but the Whole House Fan will likely pay for itself in less than a year! In addition, utility providers in some states offer rebates for using this low-energy system!

    Fan Selection and Placement
    Fans should be placed strategically throughout your home in the rooms you use most often. Not sure how many your home will need? Follow this guide:

    Automate System for Easy Remote-Control Ventilation
    Control each fan individually or hard-wire the Whole House Fans to a single switch for easy on/off control from a single location. To turn the system on and off from any location in your home, you can automate your Whole House Fan easily by plugging each fan unit into an INSTEON ApplianceLinc. You'll be able to turn the Whole House Fan on from your bedside table or from a keypad as you walk in the front door. You can even set the system to turn itself on automatically by plugging it into a Thermo Cube, which will turn the system on based on the temperature in your attic. Note: A window in your home must remain open while this system is in use.

    Designed for Year-Round Use
    The Whole House Fan can be used at any time of year, exchanging hot or cold air for the more temperate outside air. You can also use this system to remove unwanted damp or smoky air from your living space.
