| Whole House Fans:
A Whole house fan draws
outside air in through your screened windows and doors and blows it out through your attic. The result is a mild cooling breeze that can lower skin
temperature by 2 to 8 degrees.
Whole house fans are practical and affordable and provide natural air-conditioning. Whole house fans
work well when outside temperature is below 82 degrees Fahrenheit. If you already have air-conditioning,
a whole house fan can be used to thoroughly ventilate the house before the air-conditioning is turned on. This reduces air-conditioning operating time
and costs.
Whole house fans are centrally located usually
in a hallway. The fan itself is concealed by a ceiling grill that opens and closes automatically. |
