Here are the best sources for quiet and cool whole house fans. These are highlighted because they offer more modern designs. These are NOT the typical propellers sold by Home Depot for your hall ceiling. All of the systems shown below are designed for lower sound levels, better insulation and invisible operation.
QuietCool is credited with inventing a revolutionary concept – fans mounted in your attic and connected to your ceilings with ducts. Their invention has been copied by Airscape and has been improved by Invisco. But they remain as the leader in that product line.
QuietCool
This Whole House Fan is 100% American Made. It has a 10 year warranty and has one of the quietest fans we’ve heard for the price. When looking to put a whole house fan into your home, you want to make sure it’s not only going to cool your home, but that it’s going to last. A Whole House Fan that dies out on you after 1 year is worthless. Quiet Cool says that they have proof that only 100 fans have died out of 50,000 fans that have been sold.
Invisco
Powerful and quiet. There is a YouTube video posted by the WholeHouseFanGuy that shows an Invisco whole house fan pulling all the air out of a 10×12 foot room in one minute. And this system is so powerful that it can be upgraded at any time to add more rooms. But you will find that just opening doors and windows will allow you to cool more than one room without any added cost.
Invisco has the first R60 damper system for colder climates. These are the first dampers to meet or exceed the 2012 IECC recommendation for new home attic insulation in zones 4, 5, 6 and 7. Until January 2012 zones 4 and 5 were R38. Then the rating was changed to R49.
Airscape
AirScape offers several models. Their 1.7 features four 10 inch fans, pulls 1712 CFM on high speed. Airscape fans cost more per CFM because the unit includes a very effective motorized door.
Airscape includes a 2 speed wall switch, a 10 foot power cord, mounting hardware including gasket and screws, and white cube core grille.
Tamarack Technology
Tamarack has the only ceiling mounted insulated doors in the industry. They are rated at R38 so they are useful in climate zones 1, 2 and 3. Most of Tamarack’s systems mount right in your ceiling.
