Benefits of a Whole House Fan
Cools Off Home Quickly
Central air conditioners, especially in older homes, require a certain amount of coolant to operate, and it takes a considerable amount of time for them to generate cooler air. Whole house fans don’t require coolant and get to work cooling off your home immediately.
Uses Less Energy than Traditional Central Air
A whole house fan uses 25% less energy than an air conditioner does. This makes it a more environmentally sound choice, as well as one that can cut down your energy bill.
Makes Indoor Air Healthier
A whole house fan system keeps indoor air from becoming stagnant. When air is stagnant, it is likely to amass and spread noxious or unpleasant odors. A whole house fan system keeps air circulating throughout the home, making it healthier to live in.
Lasts Longer
With fewer moving parts and less wear-and-tear, a whole house fan system’s life expectancy is much longer than central air.
Requires Less Maintenance
Especially in milder climates like Seattle, whole house fans demand much less maintenance than more complex central air systems. An annual cleaning and occasional dusting are usually enough to keep a whole house fan in good operating condition.
Works More Quietly
A whole house fan works without the often intrusive noise that tends to come with a central air unit — your house will be cooler and quieter as a result.
