4. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.1  When to Run the QuietCool Whole House Fans

Anytime it is cooler outside than the inside of your home, the system will work effectively. In the summer this 
normally happens in the late afternoon to early evening, through to the next morning. We recommend running 
your fan through the evening. If you have a multi-speed fan, you will get the best cooling effect when you turn 
the fan on low after desired cooling occurs and let it run throughout the night.

4.2  Where to Start Cooling the Home

We recommend cooling the area where you are going to be spending the most time for the next few hours. 
For example, in most family situations, the early evening is spent in the kitchen or family room area. Assuming 
this to be true, this is where you would want to start the cooling process. Begin by opening a few windows in 
the area you are going to be spending your time and turn on all of your 

QuietCool 

fans at once, for maximum 

cooling. The cooler air outside will immediately begin to create a breeze in the home making you feel up to 
10 degrees cooler, instantly. Opening windows too wide or opening too many windows will lessen the cooling 
breeze you feel.

The breeze will flow through your home and make its way to each 

QuietCool

 you have in operation. 

As it gets later in the evening, and even cooler outside, you can begin to open windows in other rooms of your 
home, to prepare for bedtime. Then when it’s time for bed, you should close all the windows in your main living 
space, but leave the windows in your occupied bedrooms open. This will provide each room with a cool breeze 
as long as desired. If you are using an 8 hour timer, you can automate your fan and have it turn off when 
you anticipate it being comfortable for sleeping. If you have a 

QuietCool

 installed in each bedroom as we 

recommend, you can enjoy the breeze and your privacy with your door closed. 

4.3  Indoor Air Quality

You will want to ventilate your home on a very regular basis. Many studies show that the air inside the homes 
in the United States is more polluted than the air outside. This is generally true even in the smoggiest of 
cities. Your 

QuietCool

 system can greatly reduce this problem by bringing in fresh air and exhausting stale 

polluted air all year round.
