Whole House Fans

While HVACs and air conditioners are powerful tools, they can be expensive and, in some cases, completely unnecessary. Depending on the region and time of year, a whole house fan may be all that’s needed to cool the home. Whole house fans can create the comfort your home needs without HVAC or a/c. Whole house fans work with all types of circulating fans for noticeably less energy than you’re utilizing for the HVAC or an a/c.

How They Work
