Appreciate you guiding us through the install step by step and showing us the wireless switch as well. Most comprehensive install of the QuietCool I've found anywhere. Ty!
Thanks for watching, share the video it will help my channel a lot.
Thanks buddy, this is the best video I've seen on the Quiet Cool so far
Glad you enjoyed it!, subscribe, I’m planning on doing a follow up video on how this system performs during summer.
Sorry my ignorance, but what's the purpose of this product?
Very informative, especially for those who get intimidated with wiring, you showing which wires connect to what is appreciated.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much for the tutorial. Just ordered my whole house fan, very happy to finally buy this thing because I know with certainty the electric company is raising their rates this year, we seen what the gas company did this past winter.
Glad I could help!, you will love this system and will help you to save money on your electrical bill.
We had our quitecool installed about 7 yrs ago it's the best investment for our house and it was less expensive than an ac system.
I agree, this is an amazing product, and very reliable. I haven’t had any issues since I installed it.
Great job on the video, looking at doing same thing on my house
Thank you. You should do it I recommend it 100% it has now saved me hundreds in my electricity bill.
Exactly what I needed!
Nice 👍
Though install in northern CA. We have constant 110 degree or above day temps these days, hotter than Vegas some days. Summer temps don’t cool down until about 4 a.m. enough to push outside air in these days
It's not helpful during those days but it is amazing when it cools down early.
Awesome video! You thoroughly explained every step of the process. However, I do have a question. I’ll be installing two qc Tri-pro 3.3 fans 15’ to 20’ apart from each other. Which direction does the fan motors face?
What’s the size of your house? Does the 1,053 sf fan do good? I’m trying to figure out what size to get
Great video bro thank you 🙏🏽
My pleasure!!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
Seems like you have Blown in insulation in the attic…. is it safe to install this WHFan with that insulation? Does it make the insulation fly around?
I have johns manville blown in fiberglass in my attic… i really want to get this fan installed but i’m worried it might make the insulation fly around.
Back in the day this was called an attic fan. They were like 3-4’ in diameter and that sucker could pull some air through a house. Easiest way is get a couple of box fans and put them in an open window and block off the rest of opening and open up other windows. Might not get as much air flow but it works and a fraction of the cost.
It could work but the system shown in the video is amazing, I recommend it 100%
@@NumberDZ on your attic where is the hot air being blown to? i don't see any attic vents going outside?
I thought the concept is when the sun is down, you can suck in cold air outside from the house and push the hot air inside the house out?
Great 👍,. I was wondering if you could tell us or show us the advantages of this.. did your electric bill drastically change?
Yes, my electric bill went down by a lot, I highly recommend it. Keep in mind that this is not helpful during those extreme hot months when it doesn't not cool down at night, you have to use your AC during those months, other than that this fan is amazing, I also turn it on when cooking, it help remove all the food smell.
Great video. How big does the attic access hole have to be in order to bring the fan into the attic? Thanks
Mine is approximately 18"x24"
With the amount of air blowing around, is there any issues with the blown in insulation getting stirred up and blown everywhere?
No, the air flow is not directed towards the insulation, you have to direct it to an area of your attic away from the insulation. As you can see in the video, mine is throwing the air to the studs and an open area of the attic.
Any thoughts on the proper amount of attic ventilation required? That is the main hold up on my own install. Thanks for the great video.
As long as you have 1 or 2 vents you should be fine, the amount of air pushed in your attic by this fan is not enough to create positive pressure, even a small 1 foot by 8 inch vent should be fine.
Where we're you able to buy the qc stl model? I can only find the classic models online and that's what you link to. I'm looking for the qc stl 5.5x
They don't sell these models to the public unfortunately, they sell these to contractors or builders, I work for a builder that's how I got it. But the other models work just fine.
great vdo. Do you have to install another fan in the attic to vent the hot air out?
No, my attic has vents on the sides where the hot air goes out.
Maybe a stupid question but is there a return?? Where is the hot air going?
The hot air goes inside of the attic, then it gets pushed outside through the attic vents located on the side of the house/roof.
Just installed mine but I don’t have enough space for the duct to be up. It’s like literally on the drywall. Let’s see how it works
how is it working for you? quiet?
Very informative. How did you buy a 'pro' model if you are just a homeowner? I want the pro but can only find classic and ES series for sale.
Buy from authorized distributors like Consolidated Electrical Distributors.
I work for a builder and was able to get it through them, I don't think that they sell this exact one to the public.
looking into installing a whole house fan. your model is one I need. how much did you pay for stl pro 3.3x stealth and wireless rf hub and switch? thx for the video
I paid $325 for the stl pro and $100 for the wireless switch. I work for a builder that’s why I got it for a heavily discounted price and they don’t sell this specific model to the public, only to contractors and builders.
Looks good but it looks like you need to upgrade your duct work bc it’s falling apart
They are still working 100%
I have a QC ES-6000 and I can not get the duct off the fan to take the fan up to the attic. Even with the latch unhooked, there is not enough slack to pull the duct off the fan. Any ideas how to get the duct and fan to separate?
Did you get it off?
@@NumberDZ Yes. Took all day to pull it apart. My fan is installed now and working great.
How many vents do you need to have in the attic . If the fan is too strong and there are not many vents the heat will stay in the attic
You need at least 1 good size vent, I have two approximately 2'x2'
Do model did you install? QC ES-2250 or QC CL-1500 or QC CL-4700. The last one is for homes of 2200 SF . Is there a cheaper place other than Home Depot to buy? Thank you for your help@@NumberDZ
Are both baffles suppose to open on high or low?
Both open on high and low.
I don’t get it, how would this work if it’s not exhausting the air completely outta attic? Wouldn’t the hot air in the attic seep back in into the house and circulate back instead of venting out?
During times where you would use the fan, the temp in your house is likely more desirable than the temp in your attic. You put air from your house into the attic, pushing air through the attic. Attics are vented so the air will flow.
The attics have vents, all the extra air creates positive pressure in the attic and the air gets pushed out thought he vents.
Love your video. ??? There are so many type. What did you use
You can see the system that I have at the beginning of the video. Thank for watching.
I cant do that where i live, when its cold i would get almost rain coming down from the roof tiles becourse og hot air meting cold air
Yeah that would not be a good thing.
Can you just turn it off on cold days?
Is this cheaper to run then an AC unit? Also how does it cool down the rooms in the house
Yes, it is way cheaper, but it is efficient only during the time of the year when it is cooler outside and warm inside of the house.
You run it around 8 pm or 6 am for an hour. You open the windows, so the fan can pull fresh air from outside. Then turn it off, close all windows and spend all day with the cool temperature that the fan left inside the house. at night time, repeat the same process again.
I am afraid that it will blow my insulation around the attic. What do you think?
It won’t, as long as you don’t point it directly to the insulation, I had the same fear but it doesn’t blow it away.
How does all that extra the air get out of the attic?
Through the attic vents that are on the sides.
@@NumberDZ I think there are going to have to be calculations done to figure out how to accommodate the extra air. I don't have any soffit vents or roof vents at all--only have a couple screens on the two gables.
In that case you will have to install a couple of vents.
I wonder if this would work in the garage - to help with Keep it cool with airflow?
It should work, they also sell fans that are made specifically for the garages.
can you install this with no attic access?
No, you need access to the attic.
@NumberDZ I wonder if the opening in the sheer rock is big enough to get through and do all the work. I live in a cape house and there's no access to the attic
@@brianreip411 Not enough space, you could make a bigger hole then patch it.
How much did it drop the temp?
Depends on the exterior temperature, if inside is 80 degrees and outside 69, the temperature drops to 69 in like 30 minutes.
How you got out of the Attic??😂😂
Through the attic access.
So this sucks your house air and shoots it in the attic
It suck air from the outside goes inside your house cools it down then shoots it in the attic to cool down the attic as well.
The only thing i am having difficulty with is connecting the ducts to the unit. Total pain in the butt.
Did you figure it out?
@NumberDZ Yes. It was so simple, I had to hang/support the ducts with straps. After I did that I did not have to wrestle with it.
What is this fan for ?
It helps cool down the house during summer.
