Bring in Fresh Air and Use 90% Less Energy than AC with QuietCool
By now, many homeowners are familiar with the QuietCool whole-house fan and appreciate better ventilation and energy- efficient removal of heat the system provides.
According to American Lung Association, the air inside the home is two to five times more polluted than typical outdoor air. This is due to the chemicals used in homes and the buildup of pet dander, germs, dust, allergens, etc.
One benefifit that oftften goes unmentioned is the improvement
in indoor air
quality of the
home achieved by exhausting and ventilating
stale air.
Sized
correctly, QuietCool exchanges all the air in a home every three to four minutes. This means that folks are getting rid of the polluted air inside their home and replacing it with cool, fresh air.
Darren is one of those homeowners who made the decision to be proactive before the heat of summer.
“QuietCool keeps my house cool by themselves most of the year,” Darren said. “Besides just cooling the house, it circulates the (fresh) air while it is on, and I feel it has
helped my allergies to dust.
“I live in a very hot area of Kaimuki,”
he added. “Since then, we were able to cut down our use of A/C to just
the hottest days of summer.”
Sandra of Kaneohe cooks at home most days and
appreciates how the increased air flflow
means they she can get rid of cooking odors, like fifish, in a matter of minutes.
“I turn it on and it sucks out all the remaining smells and heat that my range- hood doesn’t get,” she said. “It’s made
my kitchen and cleanup so much more comfortable.”
QuietCool is the leader in made-in- America whole-house fan technology, and Island Cooling is Hawaii’s exclusive distributor.
