Why Use A Whole House Fan?
A whole house fan is a simple and inexpensive method of cooling a house. The fan draws cool outdoor air inside through open windows and exhausts hot room air through the attic to the outside. The result is excellent ventilation, lower indoor temperatures and improved evaporative cooling. Our Triangle fans are available with the following options: • Wall-mounted controls • two-speed/variable speeds • Belt or direct drive • Horizontal or vertical mount • Insulated louver covers (during winter when fan is not in use) Consider a fan with at least a high and low speed. The high speed can be used for flushing the initial heat build-up from the home, and the low speed may be used for gentle air circulation and continued cooling. A belt-drive fan is generally quieter than a higher R.P.M. direct-drive unit, but will require periodic maintenance of the belt and pulley assembly.
