Fall Is the Perfect Time: Why You Should Install a Whole House Fan Before Winter
A whole house fan can be an eco-friendly and affordable way to improve your home's ventilation while reducing your home’s indoor temperature. As primarily, the fans are used to cool your home during the hot summer months, they are mostly installed during the spring or summer months when the temperature starts to rise.
However, whole house fans can do a lot more than keep your house cool. It can be used in all seasons to offer you an overall comfortable living experience, which is why many homeowners decide to install whole house fans in the fall.
Why can fall be a perfect time to install a whole house fan?
Although whole house fans are primarily installed to replace the warm, stale indoor air with the cooler outside air during the summer, they have several other functions that make them useful during the fall season, and even the winter season.
Reduce humidity:
As the temperature starts to drop during the fall, there can be a buildup of humidity indoors with the windows closed during most of the day. The humidity when it comes in contact with the cold surfaces can cause an accumulation of moisture.
Running a whole house fan can improve air circulation inside the house, lowering the humidity levels.
Eliminate indoor air pollution:
There can be a buildup of air pollutants inside your home during the fall months, with the windows remaining closed for most of the time. The air pollutants can come from a buildup of moisture, causing mold and mildew formation, cooking, a buildup of dust, and pet dander in enclosed spaces.
Whole house fans can quickly improve your home ventilation by replacing the stale indoor air with the cooler outside air, removing the trapped air pollutants, and keeping you healthy in the process.
An easier scheduling of the installation:
Scheduling the installation of a whole house fan is much easier during the fall season. This is because whole house fans are much in demand during the spring and summer months, which may make it difficult to get an appointment for installation.
Also, installing a whole house fan during the off-season can allow you to enjoy discounts and have more available options to choose from. You don’t have to settle for the few available models.
Fall is also a great time if you want to install the fan yourself because of its comfortable weather.
