    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.

    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.

    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.
