Whole house fan

[cheferson]

Does anyone know of any reputable installers in southern Rhode Island ? Also if anyone currently has one , what's your opinion on then?

as aposed to buying a larger AC with built in FAN
that's remote controlled.... just saying

I have one, it was with the house when we bought in 1998. I love the thing, drops the temp of the house quickly. Don't use it when the pollen is heavy or you'll have yellow dust all over and a wife who is P-freaking-O'd. Also for winter make a box out of that styrofoam type insulation to cover it.

Hubby put one in a quite a few years back and I love it for the most part for cooling the house down (it is geat when temps outside are lower or air isnt moving) but I can attest to the dust and pollen being a pain in the arse Also dont run it on high during heavy rain. It sucks all the rain right into the window.....


I have learned it is a "time and place" use item. Mine is running now and I am loving it but dont want any part of it during high pollen, dust or humidity type days. Thats when the AC's go on.
