How QuietCool Whole House Attic Fans Work?
Indoor temperatures that are 30ºF cooler; an attic that is 50ºF cooler; clean, fresh air in the home; old cooking smells, smoke and dampness a thing of the past… all of these benefits and more are what the innovative cooling technology that is whole house attic fans could bring to your home. But how do the QuietCool attic exhaust fans work? And how are they able to achieve these seemingly impossible benefits?
Question
What are QuietCool's Whole House Attic Fans?
The whole house attic fans from QuietCool Systems are a series of incredibly efficient exhaust fans that are installed in the roof of your home or in your attic. Simply by opening up a few windows in your home, these high-volume exhaust fans set up a powerful circulation that expels all that old, stale and hot air from your attic while sucking in clean, fresh and cool air through your open windows. By using QuietCool’s whole house attic fans in the early morning, evening and night time, you can ensure that your home stays beautifully cool throughout even the hottest of summer days.
Question
Whole House Attic Fans: How They Work
The innovative attic exhaust fans brought to you by QuietCool Systems works in three very effective ways:
1. QuietCool whole house attic fans pull the cool air from outside, through open windows and doors, inside. So, essentially, the more windows you open the faster their cooling effect. You can also control air flow into the different rooms in your house simply by opening and closing doors. The incredibly efficient high volume whole house attic fans are capable of up to 20 air exchanges in an hour, so the air inside your home is not only kept clean and fresh, but room temperatures are between 10º and 20ºF cooler.
2. QuietCool’s exhaust fans promote air circulation inside the home, which translates – to your skin – as a pleasant cool breeze in every room in the house. This lowers skin temperature by 5º to 10ºF, giving you and your family a welcome respite from the heat of summer.
3. The final way in which whole house attic fans cool your home is by exhausting all that old, hot and stale air out from vents in your attic. One of the key principles of physics is that hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air. As a result, your attic can quite literally reach inhabitable temperatures in excess of 150ºF in summer. And only certain species of bacteria (or camels) can live in conditions like that! Left undisturbed and without ventilation, your attic can become a veritable hot house that radiates heat back down towards the living space of you and your family. Whole house attic fans disrupt this cycle by forcing this old stale air out of vents that are installed in your roof. As a result, QuietCool’s exhaust fans reduce the temperature of your attic by up to 50ºF!
Much like your own lungs, QuietCool’s whole house attic fans expel old air whilst sucking in fresh, cool air from outside; effectively allowing your home to breathe again!
Question
Whole House Attic Fans and Traditional Air Conditioning
One of the chief benefits of QuietCool’s range of whole house attic fans is that they use a fraction of the electricity required by traditional air conditioning; permitting energy savings of between 50% and 90%. Another key benefit of our innovative cooling system is that our exhaust fans operate by capitalizing upon the cooler outdoor temperatures of the early morning, evening and nighttime.
They effectively keep your home cool by drawing in fresh air from outside, while flushing out all that hot stale air, during these cooler times of the day. Traditional air conditioning on the other hand simply recycles the air already inside the house, cooling it each time it passes through the unit. As a result, you and your family are breathing the same stale air; and you are paying dollars per hour to do so!
While we here at QuietCool Systems are confident that whole house attic fans can entirely replace traditional air conditioning, there may be times of the year – in the dead of summer, for example – that you may want to turn on your air conditioning. Our exhaust fans should be run in the early morning, evening and nighttime, but during the hottest hours of the day, you can complement your home’s cooling system with air conditioning. Either way, you are still saving tremendously on your energy consumption and electricity bills.
