Improves Indoor Air Quality and Removes Airborne Contaminants

How It Works

Breathe Easier, Feel Cooler—Naturally

Whole house fans work by pulling cool, fresh air from outside through your open windows and pushing hot, stale indoor air up and out through attic vents. This creates continuous circulation throughout your home, replacing warm air with a refreshing breeze in just minutes.

Unlike air conditioning systems that recirculate indoor air, a whole house fan actively replaces it—reducing indoor temperatures by up to 30 degrees. The result? A cooler home, healthier air, and significantly lower energy bills.

Solar Attic Fans

Protect Your Roof and Lower Your Energy Bills

Hot air and moisture buildup in your attic can damage your roof and increase the load on your air conditioning. Our solar-powered attic fans operate all day and into the night, removing excess heat and humidity without adding to your utility bill.

Attic Fan Advantages:

  • Powered by the sun—no electricity required

  • Helps prevent mold, moisture, and structural damage

  • Reduces attic temperatures and A/C load

  • Runs quietly with no ongoing energy costs

  • Available with ClimaSense™ for night-time operation

Garage Fans

Garages are notorious for poor airflow and heat buildup. Whether you’re working out, wrenching on a project, or using your garage as extra living space, our electric and solar garage fans help keep it comfortable and safe.

  • Removes heat, odors, and fumes quickly

  • Solar and electric-powered models available

  • Works for open or closed-ceiling garages

  • Available with ClimaSense™ for all-day and night cooling

  • Pairs perfectly with attic fans for total home ventilation

Whole House Fan FAQ

  • Solar attic fans reduce attic heat, protect your roofing structure, and prevent moisture buildup—all without increasing your utility bill. Plus, many models qualify for a 30% federal tax credit.

  • Garage fans are built to remove heat, fumes, and odors specifically from garages and enclosed workspaces. They improve ventilation in places traditional A/C systems can’t reach.

  • ClimaSense™ allows solar-powered fans to run after sunset and adjust operation based on temperature and humidity. This provides night-time cooling and ensures your home stays comfortable around the clock.

  • Not at all. Our whole house and attic fans are engineered for quiet operation, using optimized blade shapes and brushless motors that minimize vibration and sound.

  • Whole house fans pull in cool air from open windows and push out warm indoor air through your attic vents. This creates powerful airflow that cools your entire home quickly while reducing the need for air conditioning.

  • Most installations take just a few hours and require no structural changes. Our experienced technicians can get you up and running the same day.

  • Yes! Whole house fans use a fraction of the energy of an A/C unit and reduce the strain on your HVAC system by cooling the home and attic naturally.

  • Thermal mass cooling occurs when a fan cools down the materials in your home—like walls, floors, and furniture—so your space stays cooler the next day, even after the fan is turned off.
