Tired of High Electric Bills & Running Your Air Conditioners At Night Save Hundreds of $$ Per Year On Your Electric Bill Quit tossing and turning because the upstairs is too hot Get Paid To Save Energy With Utility Company Rebates Avoid Getting A "SICK HOME" By Ventilating Pollutants From Your Home NEWS - Current Edison Whole House Fan Rebate: $150 Per Household (contact SCE for details) ~VIEW VIDEO CLIP~ In the past, homeowner have had limited choices when it comes to whole house fan installations. Choice #1) Bargain home improvement store style fan You could buy a traditional whole house fan from a home improvement store. These fans will move a huge amount of air, but these fans have been described as extremely loud and they leave a large un-insulated hole in your ceiling, which allows for cold air intrusion in the wintertime and loss of air conditioning in the summer months. These fans are also commonly installed only in a common area of a home (top of the stairs or hallway) mounted directly above your ceiling. Many homeowners may not want to run these fans continuously during the evening hours, because of the extremely loud noise that they generate. These types of fans are generally belt driven, which can require maintenance and belt replacement over time. They also require framing or cutting of the joist and may need additional roof venting for proper operation. Choice #2) Single fan with motorized doors and plastic blades You could buy a single 1000-2800 CFM (cubic feet per minute) fan. They may be the most expensive to purchase and the noise level may inhibit conversation, TV viewing, etc. The fan is usually installed in a centrally located area of your home (hallway, stairway etc.) Depending on the CFM and the square footage of your home, it can take a long time to adequately cool and ventilate. A single 1000 CFM unit is often too small to move the proper amount of air to cool and ventilate your entire home quickly (see sizing chart below). These fans could also have huge, unrealistic attic space clearance requirements for proper installation and operation. You will find that custom framing is required to install these units and they may have moving or motorized parts that could wear out or need service after time. Since these types of fans are commonly installed in a hallway or other common area (in a single fan configuration), it makes it difficult to pull air into other rooms such as your bedrooms with the doors closed. Although they may be quieter than traditional whole-house fans, these units may still be considere Item no longer avail. |
