Most people will do anything to reduce the amount of money they spend on cooling their home throughout the year. While air conditioning systems work well to keep your home cool, they also use a significant amount of energy to do so. Most of your energy bill during the heat of the summer is caused by your air conditioning system. A whole house fan offers cooling while it doesn’t use the amount of energy that your air conditioning system does. Simon Electric is here to talk about whole house fans and their benefits to help you save money in cooling costs this summer.
How a Whole House Fan Works
A whole house fan is the most effective way to circulate the air inside your home. It will draw in the outside air through no more than some cracked windows, and push the hot air out of the vents in your attic. This creates a cooling cross wind throughout your home that will naturally cool your home down. This is especially true if you have a two story home that is often much warmer in the top story. The whole house fan will create a pressure difference that will naturally recycle the air in your home and work to cool it down. As it sucks in and pushes the hot air up and out the vents of your attic, the negative pressure will draw in the cooler outside air.
Benefits of a Whole House Fan Install
There are many benefits that come from a whole house fan. Following are a few of them:
- Energy Savings: Homeowners that utilize their whole house fan can see as much as 50-90% cost savings on their energy bills. Your air conditioner uses up towards 5000 watts per hour while a whole house fan doesn’t even come close to that.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Did you know that the stagnant air in your home is more polluted than that of a major city? When you have a whole house fan, the outside air is drawn in and the polluted air is pushed out of the vents; which will greatly improve the indoor air quality of your home.
- Quiet: They make much less noise that your air conditioning system.
- Home Benefits: The whole house fan will keep the air circulating and remove the stagnant air in your attic. This reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth. You will see that your home is less at risk of heat damage.
