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

Posted on October 17, 2011 by wholehousefans11

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!

The Whole House Attic Fan: Saving You Money, Saving the Environment

Posted on October 12, 2011 by wholehousefans11

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

Posted on October 7, 2011 by wholehousefans11

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!

House Attic Fans: Getting Down to Brass Tacks

Now, let’s get down to brass

tacks; experience has taught us that the more beneficial a technology is the more expensive. But in the case of the house attic fan, nothing could be further from the truth! House attic fans run at a fraction of the electricity required by traditional air conditioning, affording you savings of between 50% and 90%, depending on the climate you live in.

The Dynamics Behind the Success of Whole House Fans

Posted on August 8, 2011 by wholehousefans11

This article describes how whole house fans work by exploring the dynamics of airflow these ventilation fans promote.

Whole house fans have introduced an effective and energy efficient way to keep the entire home cool and filled with fresh clean air. In addition to their incredible cooling benefits (a reduction of interior temperatures of up to 30ºF and the attic by a staggering 50ºF), these high volume cooling fans operate on a fraction of the electricity required by traditional air conditioning; a technology that is costing you dollars per hour! Understanding how whole house fans work provides a fresh perspective on how it doesn’t always take complicated and expensive technology to provide multi-faceted benefits. Sometimes all it takes is an understanding of basic physical principles and the ingenuity to capitalize upon these!

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! This is not even to mention the amount of money that is saved on healthcare. Whole house fans continually introduce fresh and healthy air into the home, which reduces the incidence of allergies, prevents the formation of molds and mildew and flushes out the air pollutants that can compromise the health of you and your family. Whole house fans are a great investment that makes use of simplistic physical principles to bring you environmentally friendly, fast and effective cooling.
