1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool system!

The QuietCool whole house fans dominate the market in energy efficiency and quietness. Whole house fans

operate by pulling the cool air from outside your home, through the home, into your attic, and out your attic

vents. This accomplishes a cooling effect that can save you up to 90% off your A/C related energy costs

depending on where you live. The difference between QuietCool and a standard whole house fan is a mix

between it’s astounding energy efficiency and it’s jaw-dropping sound level. A standard whole house fan

operates around 75dB; that’s equivalent to a loud vacuum cleaner running! In contrast, our QuietCool whole

house fans average at just around 45 dB; that’s equivalent to quiet conversation!

The QuietCool system uses a cutting edge, patented design to get our sound levels down to a respectable

level. Our fans suspend in the attic and use an acoustical duct that connects to a ceiling box and grille. The

result is an easy installation and quiet operation.

Once the air outside is cooler than the indoor air, crack open a few windows, turn your QuietCool on, and

enjoy the hot air being sucked out of your home and pushed out of your attic with a nice, cool breeze. While

performing 15-22 complete air exchanges per hour, the QuietCool whole house fan system will force the hot

stale air out of the attic which will help your house stay cooler during the hotter hours of the next day!

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Installing QuietCool

NOTE: Be sure to plug in your fan before

attempting to install to ensure that the fan
is operational. If the fan is not operational,
call the company that you purchased the fan
from and request an exchange.

Installing the QuietCool system is very easy.
Simply follow the steps given below:

1. Determine from down below in which areas you would
like to install your QuietCool fans. Go up into the attic
to mark the exact location for each fan. Take the
cardboard cut-out template and a small screwdriver
with you. Make sure the template fits between the framing.

The rough opening size varies depending on which model
of QuietCool fan you are installing:

QuietCool Fan Model Rough Opening

ES-1500 14-1/4” x 14-1/4”

ES-2250 14 1/4” x 18-1/4”

ES-3100 14 1/4” x 22 1/4”

ES-4700 14 1/4” x 30 1/4”

ES-6400 14-1/4” x 36-1/4”

2. When you have chosen your exact spot, place the
template on the spot and mark it at each corner by
pushing the screwdriver through at each corner to
make a hole so that you can find it from below.
