Turn your QuietCool fan on by setting the speed and 

timer.

Your home has now been made cooler, healthier, and  

more comfortable.

Open a few windows anytime it’s cooler outside than 

inside, typically in the morning and evening.

QuietCool pulls in cool, fresh air from outside and

expels hot, stale air out attic vents.

1.5 HOW QUIETCOOL WORKS

1.3 WHEN TO RUN THE QUIETCOOL WHOLE HOUSE FAN 

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 recom-

mend 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.

1.4 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 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 cool outside air will immediately begin to create a 

breeze in the home making you instantly feel up to 10 ºF cooler. 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.

Using the 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.
