We view the installation of a whole-house fan as more than a straightforward home improvement project. It's a chance, in our eyes, to radically change how a person lives in their space, making it much more comfortable and cooling and, on top of that, to save a significant chunk of change when it comes to energy costs. The reason we can say all this with such confidence is that our company has about 15 years of experience assessing residences—from the Van Buren House to houses across the Midwest. We have seen what works, what doesn't, and why. Our approach begins with an assessment that takes into account not just the physical home but also the local climate, existing insulation, and the number of people who occupy the space.
In contrast to many installers who adopt a uniform approach, we understand that every house has its own unique challenges and opportunities. Our experienced technicians use the latest technology and some innovative tricks to get your installation past the common roadblocks that can make a whole-house installation difficult. For one thing, we use advanced thermal imaging to figure out where heat is coming into the house and where we should put the fans to make the whole thing work best. We also have methods (ahem, don't tell too many people) for making the fans run much quieter than they do in conventional setups. And then we get to the business of making sure the fan housing is as airtight as possible, which is a key thing if you want your energy bills to stay low while keeping your house comfortable.
We are committed to giving our clients not just excellent installations but also comprehensive education about their new whole-house fan systems. Our technicians train clients to use their new systems optimally, and they cover a lot of ground during the training. They go over basic operation and patterns of optimal use, as well as maintenance, energy-saving strategies, and troubleshooting. Our clients are certainly not left hanging. We would never allow ourselves to leave a fan system in an untrained, unsupported, or potentially nonfunctional state. We refine our installation technique so that it is state-of-the-art and up-to-date with the latest advances in whole-house fan technology. We do this in the service of our clients, who are the real stakeholders in our not-for-profit drive for fan system efficiency.
