Had this installed last year. After one full summer of use the product lived up to the advertising. You have to wait until the outside temperature gets below the house temp. It makes a big difference. Make sure to research before buying.
@@AnotherScreenname you save money on AC by running the fan instead of AC. The air needs to be a comfortable temperature outside to benefit from the fan
right. so if its 100 degrees outside, it wont do more than pull in fresh air, but, if its cooler temps like fall or spring seasons or during night hours, it will feel great.
Depending on location, these are best in summer when you have a strong delta between day and night temps. I was advised not to install near the kitchen to avoid pulling suspended grease into fan. But burning something and smoke, different use that I think is warranted. We are likely to install this spring and use primarily overnight and NOT while cooking. Again, burning food, this will come in handy!
I've been doing this for years with just a box fan on the upstairs window and open all the downstairs windows. The concept is simple, heat rises, get rid of the hot air, and you're not fighting a hot house with A/C anymore. Would love to have one put in at my place but I'm only renting. Now if only there were a way to make smart intake vents that opened on the bottom of the house to let the cold air in whenever the fan runs.
I’ve seen these in many houses in Atlanta! The ole style was louder but when peoples AC’s broke down …. They would turn them on until the AC was repaired!! You have to learn when to use them & when to turn the AC back on! When it’s extremely hot outside you may jus use your Ac! Because it’s hot & humid air coming into the establishment! Early morning & Late at night you could use this to cool your house & lower your electrical usage! 90% less energy than running your AC! Wake up people! I’ve been doing HVAC OVER 20 years! (Open your windows & have screens in place & enjoy cooler days cheaper!) Cools your attic too! Helps prolong your shingle roofs too!) I wish I had one! My moms house has a low roof & poor ventilation! My father before he passed away installed 2 wind turbines! Unfortunately later parents had a tin/metal roof installed & the contractor took the wind turbines off! Some people make things worse doing things cluelessly 😲🙄😤 If you are complaining about whole house fans bringing in insects… double up your screens if you have too! Seal around your windows properly etc & jus let fresh clean or cleaner air into your house! Sometimes the air inside your house is worse than the outside! Inside air (not exchanged) has more than oxygen in it!? Commercial building have to have outdoor air (small percentage) piped through the return vents! To prevent what they call “SICK BUILDINGS!” The people inside would suffer if fresh oxygenated air is not cycled in the conditioned space!
How is the air healthy if it's filtered ? And what if I have allergies? That thing is going to suck every pollen particle up within who knows how far and bring it right into my house ..and what I have blown in insulation in my attic do I want a fan up there blowing my insulation out of the places it was blown in ? How much ventilation is required for proper exhaust? What if I don't have enough? What kind of moisture controls does it have ? What happens when my ERV is on with the whole house fan on? And what happens if I have a fire going in the fireplace while the whole house fan is on? Will it suck the fire out of the fireplace ?
This tool is not likely to be needed if you are also running fireplace. It would suck the fire/smoke if run at same time. Also would not be running this at same time an ERV is running. You are spot on with the pollen issue, yes, pulling it in the house. Insulation will not be affected. These pressurize the attic, so the vents need to be sized accordingly.
@@patrickhayes3099....I have to admit I'm a HERS Rater and I test alot of these fans ..a lot .

wait, what? Where do you live? So I have to wait until it's cooler outside than inside before this lowers my AC bill?

@@ignaciom32 thanks!
@@ignaciom32 from where I live the outside temperature in the afternoon is around 30C so the product is definitely not for me lol
I can see this being great during spring and fall or if the house gets smoky from cooking.

Don't use it if it's hot outside, you'll just be sucking in hot air. I use mine at night when temps go down.
Because u have common sense!
Others are blind to the benefit of using these at the right times of day! I agree with U 100%!!!!!
These blow air out not in
@@2crayz they blow air out of the ATTIC! They pull air into the house through the windows(when you open them) & doors.
Though, the act of moving air helps bodies feel cooler, even if indoor/outdoor air temp is the same.
The problem is that Florida outside air is hot & humid.

Will this work in Nevada heat?
Hi Erik,
This product will work in the Nevada heat!
If you use the attic as a companion item, it'll give you 24/7 coverage.
No

Bring dust into your house.
How? It's blowing the air out not in..
That’s a nonsensical thing to say
Agree about pulling dust in
