House Attic Fans: Bringing the Freshness of the Outdoors, Indoors

2011-10-17T00:35:00.000-07:00

This article describes how whole house attic fans work to rid the home of old stale air and replace it with fresh, clean, odorless air.

House Attic Fans: An Introduction

As much as the four walls and roof of your home keep you safe and comfortable from the elements, so too do they keep you isolated from the fresh healthy air of the outdoors. Every time we cook, exhale, smoke a cigarette and (hold your nose) go to the bathroom, those odors, residues, gasses and pollutants get trapped inside the home. What makes matters worse is that many home owners rely upon traditional air conditioning to keep the air inside at a comfortable temperature. While this chilled air feels nice and fresh, it has actually been recycled… over and over again. And if it has been awhile since you last opened all your windows and doors to the freshness of the Great Outdoors, then you can only imagine how tainted and polluted this air must be! Whole house attic fans provide a new and innovated way of cooling the home. And they are capable of up to 20 whole house air exchanges per hour!

Whole House Attic Fans: How They Work

House attic fans are high volume ventilation fans that have proven, home by home, you don’t need to pay dollars per hour to keep your house nice and cool. At the same time, they flush out all of those nasty pollutants, germs and smells. Whole house attic fans work quite simply by exhausting all the hot, stale and contaminated air that naturally accumulates in the attic from vents that are installed in your roof. These innovative fans then draw in great volumes of fresh, clean air through your home’s open windows and doors. In fact, whole house attic fans are capable of replacing the home’s entire air content by as many as 20 times per hour! This means that you and your family quite literally never have to breathe the same air twice.

House Attic Fans: The Benefits of Clean Air in the Home

A constant supply of fresh and clean air in the home has many wonderful benefits for you and your family:

• Reduces Allergy and Sickness: By flushing out dust, pollutants, smoke and other allergens, whole house attic fans markedly reduce incidents of allergies. A constant supply of fresh air also ensures that contagious air-borne germs have little opportunity to pass from one host to another, meaning that one child with a cold or flu doesn’t necessarily pose a risk to the rest of the home’s occupants.

• Combats Molds and Mildews: Whole house attic fans prevent the accumulation of dampness in places such as the kitchen and bathroom. This in turn discourages molds and mildews from flourishing; some species of which are highly toxic and potentially fatal!

• Eliminates Odors: The bathroom, dampness, old cooking residues, pets and tobacco smoke can all contribute to a pretty pongy abode! Whole house attic fans rapidly exhaust all that old smelly and stale air and replace it with great volumes of fresh, clean air. In fact, you could smoke a cigarette in one room and within minutes, all evidence is removed by the powerful air circulations promoted by whole house attic fans.

• Promotes Energy Levels and Vitality: Fresh air is low in contaminants and high in oxygen! This promotes natural energy levels and a general sense of vitality and well-being.

A Final Note on House Attic Fans

Fresh, clean air is as important to our well-being as a balanced diet and regular exercise. Whole house attic fans promote a healthy living environment while keeping you and your family blissfully cool and comfortable, even during the hottest summer months!

This article explores how whole house fans enable home owners to save on electricity, which is in turn very beneficial to the health of our environment.

The Whole House Attic Fan: An Introduction

There is something very positive to be said about making our homes more energy efficient. While many people don’t bother to implement the changes that are necessary to reduce our home’s carbon footprint, the families that do are reaping peace of mind and much reduced electricity bills! One of the greatest users of energy in the home is traditional air conditioning. Unfortunately, there are some climates that just don’t permit us the luxury of living without them and the exorbitant cooling bills they come hand-in-hand with. However, there are smarter cooling technologies that work far more efficiently AND at a fraction of the electricity required by traditional air conditioning. The whole house attic fan is a prime example of a very simplistic, yet powerfully effective cooling technology that runs at pennies per hour and is – home by home – helping us to reduce the environmental impact of our society and indeed, of our civilization.

Traditional Air Conditioning and the Whole House Attic Fan

Traditional air conditioning has long been the answer to the insufferable heat. While it keeps us cool and comfortable, this technology comes with its challenges, not least of all the exorbitant electricity bills. As it was said, air conditioning is one of the greatest users of energy in the home and this is something we need to change, especially with the effects of excessive carbon emissions becoming evident in global weather patterns. The whole house attic fan works quite simply by expelling the accumulation of heat in the attic of the home while at the same time, drawing in great volumes of cool, fresh and clean air through open windows and doors. While traditional air conditioning simply recycles the air inside your house over and over again – each time re-cooling it – the whole house attic fan provides a continuous supply of fresh and clean air from the outside.

By opening up your home during the cooler hours of the day, the whole house attic fan can reduce indoor temperatures by a staggering 20°F, with a further 10°F cooling afforded by the gentle breeze that blows from room to room. So, not only are you enjoying the benefits of a much cooler home, but you are saving great amounts of money on your cooling bills. And every penny saved on electricity translates into an equivalent weight of carbon dioxide, which would otherwise be liberated into the Earth’s atmosphere through the burning of coal necessary to generate that electricity.

Whole House Attic Fan: Addressing Global Issues

We, as a singular species, have recognized the importance changing the way we generate and use electricity. While we will always require some form of cooling technology in the hotter climates, we don’t have to settle for technology that takes a heavy toll on both our wallets and the environment. The whole house attic fan offers comprehensive cooling solutions that enable the home owner to reduce energy consumption and benefit from the resultant savings. The whole house attic fan is addressing some very important global issues while enabling the home-owner to enjoy a much cooler and healthier living environment!

The Whole House Attic Fan: Removing the Source and Treating the Symptoms of Heat Accumulation in the Home’s Attic

2011-10-07T04:58:00.000-07:00

This article explains how whole house attic fans offer superior cooling solutions to traditional air conditioning through the removal of heat in the attic as opposed to the recycling and re-chilling of air in the home.

Traditional Air Conditioning: Letting Go of an Old Friend…

We all, to some degree, regard our air conditioners as old friends that have seen us through some of the hottest summer days and the most insufferable summer nights. But just like every friend – no matter how good and true - has that one annoying habit that drives you crazy. Air conditioning has a solid reputation for coming hand-in-hand with exorbitant electricity bills! But more than this, air conditioning simply doesn’t provide the most effective and desirable cooling solutions anymore. The whole house attic fan is now at the very frontier of cutting-edge cooling technology!

The Whole House Attic Fan: Removing the Source of the Problem

There are numerous differences between the whole house attic fan and traditional air conditioning. But one of the most important of these differences is that the whole house attic fan removes the very source of the problem as far as heat in the home is concerned. As most home-owners are aware, the attic is the hottest room in the house because, that’s right, hot air rises. And the insulation in the roof makes sure that this heat doesn’t go anywhere. All of this warm air just accumulates in the attic, which is subsequently re-radiated back down into your living space.

Air conditioning does nothing to remove the source of the heat, which explains why it just cycles on and off during the night. As soon as the air is chilled to the desired temperature, the heat radiated back down from the attic warms it up again. It’s a battle against simplistic physical principles that traditional air conditioning can never win. The whole house attic fan, on the other hand, exhausts all of this hot and stale air through vents that are installed in the roof of the attic. With this inferno of heat removed, coupled with the great volumes of fresh air that are drawn in through your open windows and doors, the whole house attic fan is solving the problem and treating the symptoms! Best yet, the whole house attic fan is doing this using 75% less electricity than your air conditioning unit! In fact, many home owners report savings of as much as $1,880 in a year with the whole house attic fan; enabling them to recoup their initial investment in the short term.

A Final Note on the Whole House Attic Fan

There just isn’t any doubt about the incredible capabilities of the whole house attic fan when compared with traditional air conditioning. The former runs on pennies per hour and the latter; on dollars. The whole house attic fan removes the source of heat in the home and invigorates it with fresh, clean and healthy air at a tremendous rate, whereas air conditioning simply recycles old stale air. So, if you have been particularly frustrated with exorbitant electricity bills lately and the losing battle in which your old air conditioning unit is engaged against the inferno of heat that blazes down on you at all hours of the day, then perhaps it’s time to invest in some smarter technology. The whole house attic fan is surely the answer!

How Whole House Fans Work

Whole house fans essentially cool the home in three ways:

1. These high volume ventilation fans set up a powerful circulation that forces all that old hot and stale air out of air vents that are installed in the attic of your home. Now, we all know how intolerably hot the attic can get during the summer. By removing that veritable inferno that radiates heat back into the home’s living space, whole house fans are essentially removing the root of the problem.

2. By opening up windows and doors during the cooler hours of the day, such as nighttime, early morning and evening, these high volume ventilation fans bring all that fresh, cool and clean air from outside the home, inside. In fact, so powerful are whole house fans that they are capable of exchanging the home’s entire air content 15 to 20 times per hour! The combined effect of hot air exhausting from the attic and cool air intake through the window and doors can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20ºF.

3. The third way that whole house fans maintain a wonderfully cool home is through the promotion of a breeze that gently blows from room to room. Depending on how many windows and doors you leave open during the cooler hours of the day, this breeze can reduce skin temperature by as much as 10ºF. This equates to a net cooling effect of 30ºF, which can render expensive air conditioning completely redundant!

Whole House Fans: In Conclusion…

Through these three different air flows (air expulsion, air intake and circulation from room-to-room), whole house fans are capable of significantly reducing indoor temperatures, and all at pennies per hour. In many cases, these powerful ventilation fans negate the need for traditional air conditioning entirely, enabling home-owners to save as much as 90% on their annual cooling bills… an amount that can equate to as much as $1,880!

Whole House Fan Quiet Cooling System: Saving Energy, Saving Money

2011-07-06T01:01:00.000-07:00

This article describes how whole house fan quiet uses thermal mass to cool a home before exploring its energy-saving and quiet characteristics.

Growing concern over energy conservation has led to an increasing number of homeowners installing the whole house fan quiet. Normally a home gradually heats up throughout the course of a day as the sun beats down on the exterior walls and roof. This heat is absorbed by the home’s materials, most of which have a high thermal mass, meaning they can retain heat all through the night and into the following day. This heat radiates back into the home, leaving the interior air stiflingly hot and you and your family sticky and uncomfortable! The innovative whole house fan quiet cooling system keeps your entire home cool by pulling fresh clean air in through open windows. This delightfully cool air is then drawn up into the attic, forcing the home’s accumulation of hot and stale air through ventilation fans installed in the attic. As the air within the home is in constant circulation, you and your family can stay entirely cool and comfortable throughout the day and night!

Using Thermal Mass to Cool Your Home

Concrete, bricks and the other materials from which your home is built all have one thing in common (other than putting a roof over your head!) They all have the ability to hold a lot of heat! Throughout the day, these materials absorb heat and slowly release it again even hours after sunset. In a home without energy saving fans, this heat accumulates in the attic before radiating back into the house. With the installation of whole house fan quiet, you can capitalize on your home’s thermal mass by using it to keep things cool rather than warm. This is done through the fitting of energy saving fans in the attic of your home, which help to pull fresh, cool air in through open windows and to circulate it before expelling it outside. Because cool air is constantly being circulated, a cool, steady temperature is maintained, thus reducing the need for expensive and energy draining air conditioning.

House Attic Fans: Health Benefits for the Entire Family

2011-06-15T05:46:00.000-07:00

This article introduces indoor air quality and the importance of ventilation and how to achieve it with the help of whole house ventilation fans.

House attic fans, in conjunction with open windows, efficiently propel hot air and its pollutants (smoke, humidity, odors) to the attic of a home. This eliminates the build-up of heat by dispelling the air with a cooling fan and providing home occupants with healthy, clean and fresh air for breathing. But, aside from cooling your home, why are house attic fans so important?

House Attic Fans: For You and Your Family’s Health

The quality of air within a home is often referred to as indoor air quality, or IAQ. IAQ in homes without a cooling fan is often poor, leaving occupants hot and sticky or worse; with health complaints. Among the most common pollutants in homes not fitted with house attic fans is mold, whose growth is associated with moisture (condensation) and can accumulate in homes without house attic fans. Mold can be an allergen, with a 1999 study by Mayo Clinic having connected the sinus infections of 37 million Americans with mold.

Moisture in homes without house attic fans or a cooling fan can also lead to mildew, a type of mold that we most commonly associate with dirty-looking bathrooms and laundry areas. Left untreated, it can cause structural damage and a devaluation of your property! It’s not just unsightly mildew that is responsible for the release of allergenic spores into the air. While these are rarely toxic to humans, they can be the source of you and your family’s allergies and can even trigger asthmatic attacks! Poor ventilation in homes with no house attic fans can also result in the lingering of nasty smells such as cigarette smoke and old cooking fumes.

The Importance of Ventilation

Ventilation through the use of a cooling fan like house attic fans is the most effective way to filter and dilute contaminants in the air in order to improve the air in your home. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) attributes indoor air pollution to the loss of US$1 billion in direct health care costs and up to US$60 billion through loss in productivity annually while also maintaining that 50 percent of all illnesses are caused or perpetuated by poor IAQ, which is most present in homes without house attic fans. Not just the EPA is taking the importance of ventilation seriously; Doctors acknowledge that poor IAQ can be a threat to one’s health.

How to Achieve Effective Ventilation

Effective ventilation in your home involves circulating and replacing hot, moist air with fresh, cool air from outside. House attic fans ventilate the entire home by expelling hot, stale and poor quality air out from vents that are installed in your roof. Cool, fresh and clean air is then drawn in through open windows, with the home’s air constantly circulating. The introduction of house attic fans can see room temperature drop by up to 20°F, reducing the need for air-conditioning and its associated cost by up to 90 percent!

House Attic Fans: A Final Note

The best way to keep cool air circulating through your home is through the use of a cooling fan. The use of such house attic fans will not only bring the room temperature within your home down, but you will also save on electric bills accumulated through the use of air-conditioning. Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, house attic fans can ensure that you and your family don’t suffer from any of the nasty health complaints associated with poor IAQ!

This article describes the importance of saving energy in the home with technologies designed to run more effectively off of less electricity.

Energy efficient whole house fans are the latest in innovative technology to be offered on the green market. And if there is one thing that modern living is characterized by, it’s that we expect the best of both worlds… well, most of the time. We want to eat what we want, but remain slim; we want to buy those expensive pair of shoes, but still save money; we want the benefits and comfort afforded by a house kept well ventilated and cool, but we don’t want to (1) have to pay enormous electricity bills and (2) feel guilty about the size of our carbon footprint! Humanity has become painfully aware of what our dependence upon coal-generated electricity is doing to the world around us. Thankfully, there is a full suite of innovative technologies that have been designed – including whole house fans - to provide us with the power we want and need at far more economical rates… both to our pockets and to the environment.

The Importance of Energy Efficiency in the Modern Home

We’ve all heard the facts and figures regarding environmental degradation and climate change; now each and every individual needs to act as a unified force by reducing our energy consumption in the home and switching to cleaner electricity generating technologies. It is so easy to fall prey to the belief that we as individuals could not possibly make a difference, and yet if every home cut back on the amount of fossil fuel-derived electricity it uses, we could be saving an equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide emissions, per year, per house! This translates into saving millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions and similarly, millions of dollars in electricity bills. Change starts most fundamentally in the home with technologies that are designed to run more effectively on less electricity. Whole house fans are a prime example of this cutting-edge technology that, in the long run, contributes fundamentally to the change our planet so desperately needs.

Whole House Fans: Making a Change for the Better

Whole house fans not only work as an extremely effective and quiet system, but they are also incredibly energy efficient. This allows you, the homeowner, to really get the best of both worlds: the convenience of a cooling system without the steep electricity bills or guilty conscious! Most of the time, we give into our desires. We eventually end up eating whatever it is that we want and those shoes are by now gathering dust in your closet… but with modern designs in fans and ventilation systems, you really can have the best of both worlds. Whole house fans are designed to follow strict energy conservation guidelines and as such, reduce the overall electricity consumption of your home. This translates into much lower electricity bills and a drastic reduction of your overall carbon footprint. Converting your home’s old and noisy ventilation system to the new energy conserving whole house fans system is a firm foot in the right direction. So, what are you waiting for? Go and get the best of both worlds… for a greener world.
