1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool Smart Attic Gable Fan!
The QuietCool Specialty Series was designed for every application imaginable. QuietCool Specialty Series
fans dominate the market in energy efficiency. Our Specialty Series works great in practically all climate
zones and most homes, mobile homes, and even warehouse buildings!
The QuietCool Attic Fans are the best in the business. New for 2020, our Smart Line of attic fans have gotten
even smarter! Now through the use of a smartphone app, you can control all the settings of your Smart Attic
Fan right from your couch!
With the QuietCool Smart Control App, you can see your current attic temperature, modify the temperatures
for the multiple speeds of the fan, setup presets for the different seasons of the year, and even operate your
fan on a timer!
QuietCool Attic Fans work almost everywhere, anytime. During the summer, an attic can be 40-50 degrees
hotter than the outside temperature, which in turn heats up the house much faster. With an attic fan, you can
cool the attic to the same temperature as it is outside, greatly reducing the house from heating as quickly.
1.2 Series Features
• High Efficiency Multi-speed Motors
• App Based Smart Control
• Integrated Mounting Tabs with Anti-Vibration Pads
• Designed and Built in California
• 15 Year Warranty

1.4 System Venting Requirements
VERY IMPORTANT! - 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM
RECOMMENDED! - 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN
Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of
1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the
QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively. If an attic has less than 1:750 attic venting, the
system may not operate as efficiently, or effectively, as it could with 1:750 attic venting. But don’t worry, the
system will still operate if there is not enough venting.
Insufficient venting is a very simple problem to fix. Roofing contractors can add extra venting to most homes
simply and easily. The most common types of venting is shown in the chart below.
