How we repair your Whole House Fan
A whole house fan is a large ceiling-mounted fan that pulls cool outdoor air through open windows and exhausts warm air through the attic. A whole house fan is built around one or more fan motors, switches or controls, filters and ductwork. A technician tests the motor and capacitor, checks switches and controls, and inspects filters and ducts for blockages.
