the AC . Caleb had to come out and change out the device that we use to
turn the fan on and off. But it was covered under the warrenty. Have
recommended them to friends and neighbors.
Barndon, the installer, removed the old (20 + years) dead fan and then discussed the options with us. Our house built in 1971 had some issues such as the width of the hallway where we wanted the new fan installed. After some give and take as to our options, we settled on an install that gave us the location where we wanted the fan installed.
Brandon was careful to install drop cloths on the hallway floor and he built a plastic curtain from the ceiling to floor to minimize the dust when he enlarged the hole in the ceiling needed to install the new fan grate. All lumber cutting to frame in the fan was done outside. Brandon cleaned up immediately after he did the cutting.
I tend to hover when installers are working and Brandon didn't seem to mind and he answered all my questions and addressed
all my concerns about maintenance and operation of the new fan.
The work was completed around 4:30, after which he instructed us on the proper operation of the fan. I especially liked the
fact that the fan controllers were wireless and did not require any electrical wiring. He even used a level to insure the controller wall mounts were level.
Overall, it was a great job. As we were used to the old fan, it was really nice to have the new fan to cool down our house after
it cools down outside. The new fan moves more air than our old fan and with 2 speeds, and the new wireless remotes, it is really easy to operate. It is very quiet on low speed.
The fan grates in the ceiling are much less noticeable than I expected. The sound of the fan at high speed is not as loud as I expected, and quite acceptable. The fan at low speed is just a slight hum. When I ran the fan at high speed with windows open downstairs, and closed off upstairs, I felt a strong refreshing breeze just sitting on the couch. The downstairs cooled off very quickly, such that after about 15 minutes I was closing windows near where I was sitting to take the cool air off me, but left the fan on to cool the rest of the house and the attic. The upstairs took longer to cool off, even after closing off most of the downstairs windows and doors. But after an hour, the house was quite comfortable. I'm so glad I purchased the whole house fan through My Green Home!
Extra kudos for installing the fan in my small attic. When we bought the house (6 months ago) the home inspector didn't think I could fit a whole house fan in our attic. Said it was too small. My Green Home not only installed it, but was able to do it without rerouting my duct work.
And as an added bonus, we love the timer feature and remote control! Couldn't be happier with the service.
A few days after the installation, my husband and I had a few questions and Caleb responded right away.
As far as the benefit of this purchase for our home, my husband and I are truly amazed. We live in an older home in San Diego and have no ac. We turn on the Whole House Fan after the sun goes down and our entire home cools down, even without ac ! We notice the drop in temperature inside within minutes and within 1-2 hours our heated attic cools down to the outdoor temperature, thus cooling down our home. We turn it off and are cooled down the entire night !!!
I have said to my husband several times since the installation, and quot;This was the best thing we ever did to our homeand quot;. This being stated, it is not as effective when we have the extreme humidity at night and not as effective as ac. However it still does get the temperature down in the evenings and throughout the night. We love it :)
Thank you, MY GREEN HOME. (Caleb and Crew, you were great !)
