I just installed a new whole house fan in my home, and it’s been an absolute game changer! After doing some research, I discovered the quietest fan on the market-Centric Air-and had it installed. After watching this video and a couple others, i realize I didn't want to install (get into attic) so, I called a local installation company Comfort Cool Fans which turned out to be the manufacturer of Centric Air as well! I couldn’t be happier with the fan.
I installed mine about 6 or 7 years ago. I live in Florida so I can only use it maybe 5 months of the year but I love it. I let it run on low all night long because I love the fresh air. Some places in the US have Radon gas which can be deadly over time so this kind of fan can ventilate it out.
I’ve been researching this product for a while now, but wasn’t quite sold on it, until I watched your video! You made it look very easy to install. Thank you so much for showing how to do this!
Great video and very good explanation. I’m renting but with PG&E here in California reaching around $1,000 a month in thinking this will be a good investment and pay for itself.
I see you bought the 3100 model. How many sq ft is your house? How much attic vents do you have and how big are they? How much air flow in the house do you get? Quiet Cool recommends a lot of venting which I think most houses don’t have. Trying to size a unit for my house right now. Thanks!
i have only two attic vents installed will that be enough for it? Also how heavy was the fan itself my house is old so dont know if the wood would hold up a lot of weight.
@@dingpongcrate my house was built in 1983 they only put two vents on one side of the house but i do have a gable vent on the south side of the house. My house is one of those that have a low pitch roof that in the attic that its so small that i can only crawl. So il add a wood for support then and try to get one of those installed. In the summer it gets so hot here that my A/C barely can catch up to the heat. Thank you for these DIY videos it helps a lot
@@akanesoratobu8889 glad to hear that you have 2 vents plus a Gable vent. Not sure if you have a soffit vent along the roof below. having a low-pitch roof might be not so easy to install. but if your A/C not catching up than installation might help
@@dingpongcrate thank you yes unfortunately no soffit vents installed so attic gets exttemely hot in the summer time. im planning to purchase one of those all house fans and also a gable fan so it can pull the hot air outside. Thank you for making these do it yourself videos it truly help for people like myself. Keep up the great work!
@@akanesoratobu8889 Most homes should have soffit vents. Having the whole house fan should keep the attic much cooler. I appreciate you watching my Video. Good luck with your installation. Im very happy with my whole house fan.
wow, that's great. Once it is installed I think you'll love it. last summer we installed it. we love it. save electric bill. which brand are you getting?@@carlyellison8498
Where does the air come from that you are pumping into your attic? You are creating a vacuum in your house that will suck hot air through any door jam, window or leak from the outside. You have also punched through your insulation R value 30+. So if that fan isn't running (plastic flaps R value
Thank you for the comment. The air comes from outside by opening windows during the evening and morning when the temperature is cooler. I place new insulation around the vent area. I do need a new insulation cover for the vent flop during winter. This type of whole-house fan is very popular in California. Most people have this sys
A gable fan is not an option on many homes, as mine does not have gable ends. This type of unit is intended to have several windows opened when the outside temperature is lower than the inside. The eves vent this hot air outside to help cool the attic as well.

That's cool that you have the whole house fan. did you hire someone to install it?

wow! great comment. this summer has been super hot. I've used the fan for 5 months. works great during hot summer and reduces the electric bill
The plastic trick was genius. Thanks for all the details and demo
Are you planning to install the whole house fan?
@@dingpongcrate yes, in about month, just in time for the fall and winter season
I’ve been researching this product for a while now, but wasn’t quite sold on it, until I watched your video! You made it look very easy to install. Thank you so much for showing how to do this!
Most welcome! I too was a little nervous, isn't that hard. just too many moving parts
Great video and very good explanation. I’m renting but with PG&E here in California reaching around $1,000 a month in thinking this will be a good investment and pay for itself.
I think so. I’ve been using in my house and it did slash the electric bill
Great video, thanks for sharing! Going to check out your other DIY videos too
Thank you for watching. Appreciate your supporting
Amazing! This will be my next weekend project! Thanks
Watch my video. Step by step. Save time
Super helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Good video man
And you’re funny 😄
I’m just being me
Great video, nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent video! Thank you. I just ordered one, looking forward to install it next week.
Thank you for watching my video from the humble guy. I'm Glad that I could be your help on decision-making.
Nice job sir

Is about 1500 sq. Have about 6 attic vents. The airflow is great. Whole House fan does a great job. What SQft is your house?
i have only two attic vents installed will that be enough for it?
Also how heavy was the fan itself my house is old so dont know if the wood would hold up a lot of weight.
do you have 2 vents on both sides of the house? or on the roof? The fan weighs about 50 lbs. Having an extra wood to hold like trust will be helpful

Adding a Quiet Cool Whole House fan will save your electric bill?
Do you feel the difference inside the home?
@@cartmanbrah8937 Yes. The whole house fan allowed our house to drop the temperature during the hot day. and it's comfortable
How much do you save in electricity man?
Some home use more than others but for me I save about 40%
@@dingpongcrate thanks for the info and keep up the good work 👍🏾
@@joshiroloop thank you
Make sure that’s not back drafting
not in my house. great airflow. I've been using it for 2 years. works great. save money
I don't understand that the attics used to be the hottest during the summer. And he wants to bring the hot air into the room??? Did I miss something?
The whole house fan will circulate the house. This means cooler air inside of the house and pushing out hot air out of the attic.
Whole house fan pulls cool night and early morning air from outside, expelling the hot air of the whole house (including attic).
you are absolutely right, have you installed a whole house fan in your house?@@carlyellison8498
@@dingpongcrate - no, but my dad installed one in the house I grew up in. I loved it! So, I am considering one for my house soon! (edit: typo)
