The Whole House Fan Advantage

PLEASANT HILL — If you’re looking for a more energy-efficient way to cool your home, a whole house fan might be the solution.

During the summer, it’s common for people to run their air conditioners until late at night, not realizing that it’s actually cooler outside their homes than it is inside. A whole house fan is designed to bring in this cool outdoor air while simultaneously cycling out the warm indoor air. This cools and refreshes the home naturally, rather than artificially as an air condition system does. Additionally, a whole house fan is a far more energy-efficient option: on average, it consumes 65 watts on the low setting and 250 watts on the high setting, which is considerably less than a 10,000-watt air conditioning system.

By installing a whole house fan, you’ll breathe easier in more ways than one: Not only will your air be fresher, you’ll also decrease your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills.
