How To Install Quiet Cool Attic Fan

This was my first attic fan installation and it was a seamless process given the setup from Quiet Cool; from the simple mounting to the prewired electrical. To top it all off the ability to control the fan from the app is extremely useful, whether it's checking the attic temp or lowering the fan speed due to noise when trying to sleep. Very nice and simple product.

Plug all the air gaps around the fan, I used the insulation

It's best to pair the phone with the fan, before mounting the fan

Does your roof have soffit vents?

it does, most of the venting comes from the roof or the opposite gable though.

Are you still happy with it after the first month?

This thing has been great for me. I did tests with it running vs not running all day and watching the attic temps, it definitely works. This is a great inexpensive option if you can’t or don’t want to add insulation.

@@HVAC_Academy I appreciate the update. Does the app have an option to set it to come on at a specific time of the day like 6 am and run for an hour of some amount of time? And last question I was wondering... Any thought to place an intake fan on one end of attic and then an exhaust fan at the other end? So it sucks cooler air in early morning or late evening? Does that make sense.... ? Similar to the thought process of a whole house fan.... ?

I don't believe the app has that option. I'm pretty sure it is based on either temperature or you can set it on a timer meaning to start running at the moment for whatever extended amount of time you'd like. The two fans wouldn't be a bad idea at all for a personal home diy deal but could get pretty costly if doing it for a customer. @andersonjimmy1691

Except when you only pay for heat and it costs you money 24/7 during all winters. Installing insulation is as easier than farting.

I'd add more insulation to that attic, at minimum you want R60

@HVAC_Academy Жыл бұрын

I absolutely agree. This is a pretty old house and still has a few lines of knob and tube electrical so I can't insulate over that due to the hazard. Once the electrical is replaced I'll have much more insulation.

@HVAC_Academy I understand, our attic R76, wish I had done it years ago, for years we had r 38, thats, just not enough.
