Benefits of Whole House Fan Installation

Late summer in many parts of California can be surprisingly hot, with temperatures soaring into the 100s. A Whole House Fan AC system can keep you comfortable indoors and offer additional significant benefits:

• Quick cooling: Window and wall AC units take longer to cool an entire house after a hot summer day. W hole house fan air conditioning maintains the temperature you set on the thermostat throughout the day and provides even cooling throughout the house. 
• Minimal noise: Compared to conventional window and wall AC units, whole house fan AC systems make significantly less noise because the condenser unit is located outside. 
• Higher efficiency: A whole house fan air conditioning system uses less electricity than window or wall AC units and is more energy-efficient than stand-alone units.    
• Improved aesthetics: The only visible parts of a whole house fan AC system are a few air vents. Most components—including ductwork and air handling units—are installed out of sight in attics, basements, and the backs of closets.   
• Low maintenance: With annual inspections and routine maintenance services, whole house fan AC systems can operate at optimal levels for several years. 

The benefits of a whole house fan AC installation and its costs are best realized when you have an energy-efficient system in the right size to address your home’s cooling needs.

Always remember that your electricity bills are heavily impacted by the air conditioning system you choose. Here are a few things to look for in a whole house fan AC installation—besides cost—in California:

• SEER ratings: The minimum standard Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating for AC systems differs by geographical location. As a California resident, look for a whole house fan AC system with a minimum SEER rating of 14. 

• ENERGY STAR® Certification: Whole house fan AC systems with ENERGY STAR ® and EnergyGuide labels are 15% more efficient than standard models. Purchasing ENERGY STAR® certified products may also qualify you for utility rebates and energy tax credits.

• Features: Comfort control, remote adjustments, optimized airflow, temperature overrides, and humidity control are some common features a whole house fan AC system might provide to keep your indoors cool.

• Pricing and Warranty: A whole house fan AC system is a significant investment, so be sure to protect it with a solid warranty.
