Cool-Flo Whole House Fans
These fans have been around for decades, and are used in places like Arizona, where the temperatures rise to more than 35°C during the day.
How they work:
The fan draws in the cooler outside air through your open windows, and pushes that air through your attic space – cooling your house.
This also has the added benefit of expelling the hot air from your attic. This cools the house off, and allows the residence to stay cooler during the day time when the sun is out – ensuring you are putting your best effort forward in getting the most life out of your shingles.1
This fan can be placed into your attic access, and plugged into a standard electrical outlet. Since it’s only a fan running, it requires much less power than a traditional air conditioning unit.
More advantages of a whole house fan?
Whole house fans offer benefits for homeowners in Central Alberta, especially with the right use.
Here’s a quick rundown:
Energy Efficiency
Whole house fans use significantly less energy than central air conditioning. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, they can reduce cooling costs by up to 90%.
Quick Cooling
They can quickly cool down your home by pulling in cooler outside air and pushing out the warm indoor air. This is the ticket during the cooler parts of the evening or early morning.
Lower Operating Costs
Because they use less energy, whole house fans have lower operating costs compared to central AC systems. This can be a significant saving over the summer months.
Improved Ventilation
Whole house fans provide excellent ventilation, helping to reduce indoor air pollutants, which are generally much more concentrated than pollutants in the outdoor air.
