What is whole house cooling? |
| |
Whole house cooling
is a way to cool your house by bringing in cooler outside
air and pushing warmer inside air out through the attic.
The moving air cools you and removes heat. |
| |
2.
|
What is the difference between
whole house cooling and air conditioning? |
| |
Whole house cooling brings outside
air into your home to cool it, while flushing out the
warm air and ventilating the house at the same time. Air
conditioning takes the existing inside air and keeps recycling
it and cooling it slightly each time it is recycled. No
stale air is removed in the process. |
| |
3.
|
Can I use both an air conditioner
and a whole house fan? |
| |
YES, definitely, but not at the
same time. The whole house fan should be used when the
outside air temperature is cooler than the inside temperature.
The air conditioner when the reverse is true. Normally,
the whole house fan in the evening, night and early morning
hours, and the air conditioner during the heat of the
day. |
| |

|
Why must a window or windows
be open? |
| |
A whole house fan sucks into
the house and blows it out through the attic. If no
window is open, a negative air pressure is created which
will draw air in from a fireplace, or other vents. |
| |

|
What type whole house fan should
I buy? |
| |
The QUIET COOL QC-1500 is the
right choice for any home. If the saving of a few dollars
on the original purchase price is the only important
factor and you are willing to live with the loud noise,
difficult and expensive installation, unsightly ceiling
grill and the lack of thermal protection, then the Type
1whole house fan might be better.
The only reason to buy the Type
II whole house fan is if you live in a very cold
climate and are concerned about maximum insulation values
in the wintertime. |

|
Why is the QC-1500 the most innovative
whole house fan on the market? |
| |
The QC-1500 can be installed almost
anywhere because the entire mechanism hangs in the attic
where you can’t see or hear it and the only visible
part is a small attractive ceiling grill. |
|

|
Why is a quiet whole house fan
important? |
| |
Our years of experience has shown
us that if a whole house fan is noisy or whining, we won’t
turn it on while watching television, carrying on a conversation,
or trying to go to sleep. These times of the day are when
a whole house fan is most effective. A QC-1500 is so quiet,
you’ll use it always. |
| |
8.
|
Why is the QC-1500 the easiest
whole house fan to install? |
| |
The QC-1500 does not require any
carpentry or framing work to install. You merely cut a
16” x 16" square in the ceiling (or vertical wall), install
a ceiling grill with a few screws, connect the duct
to it and hang the fan assembly to the roof rafters in
the attic and then make the electrical connections. Our
experienced installers routinely complete the installation
in less than one hour, but an average handy person should
be able to do the job in two to three hours. |
| |
9.
|
Where should I install the QC-1500? |
| |
We recommend installing one in
each bedroom for maximum comfort. That allows the bedroom
door to be closed and still obtain all the benefits of
cooling and ventilation. Other ideal locations are laundry
rooms, smoking rooms and kitchens. If only one unit is
to be installed, it should be in a central location and
upstairs in a two story house. |
| |

|
What else is needed? |
| |
You will need a switch to turn
it on. There are several types available. See our products
page for additional information. |
| |

|
What is the warranty on the QC-1500? |
| |
Ten years on the parts, one year
on labor, besides the 90 day money back guarantee at time
of purchase. |
| |
12.
|
What maintenance is required
on the QC-1500? |
| |
Absolutely none. The motor has lifetime
lubrication. |
