Attic Fan VS. Whole House Fan

While both attic fans and whole house fans help to ventilate, they each serve distinct purposes within a home. So, what’s the difference between an attic fan vs. a quiet whole house fan?

Attic Fans

Quiet Whole House Fans

Designed to cool just the attic of a home. Attic fans: Designed to cool the living space at night whenever the outside temperature is lower than the indoor temperature. Quiet Whole house fans:
  • Regulate heat levels in attics
  • Exhaust hot air in attics through attic vents while replacing it with relatively cooler outdoor air
  • Lower the heat and humidity
  • Reduce strain on AC systems
  • Improve home performance
  • Mitigate scorching heat or moisture build up, putting less stress on roofing materials
  • Are installed on gable vent or through the roof
  • Regulate heat levels in both attics and throughout the home
  • Draw cool outside air in through open doors and windows while expelling hot, stale, and possibly contaminated air out
  • Provide effective natural cooling rather than recycled indoor air
  • Lower indoor temperatures while refreshing the air
  • Precool air overnight to reduce AC use during the day
  • Improve home performance
  • Mitigate scorching heat or moisture build up, putting less stress on roofing materials
  • Can eliminate the need for AC in dry, low-humidity climates with cooler nights
  • Create cooling in homes without AC
  • Can reduce airborne hazards and irritants (i.e., radon, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, cooking, pet odors, etc.)
  • Can be ceiling mounted above louvers, where air drawn into the attic is forced out through vents in eaves, roof, or gables
  • Can be attic-mounted in the roof or exterior wall of the attic, blowing air directly out

While attic fans help prevent the transfer of heat from a hot attic to the living space below, whole house fans draw in cooler, fresh evening air through open windows, actually pulling warm, stale, contaminated air from the living space. This is the difference between an attic fan vs. whole house fan.
