1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool system!

The QuietCool whole house fans dominate the market in energy efficiency and quietness. Whole house fans

operate by pulling the cool air from outside your home, through the home, into your attic, and out your attic

vents. This accomplishes a cooling effect that can save you up to 90% off your A/C related energy costs

depending on where you live. The difference between QuietCool and a standard whole house fan is a mix

between it’s astounding energy efficiency and it’s jaw-dropping sound level. A standard whole house fan

operates around 75dB; that’s equivalent to a loud vacuum cleaner running! In contrast, our QuietCool whole

house fans average at just around 45 dB; that’s equivalent to quiet conversation!

The QuietCool system uses a cutting edge, patented design to get our sound levels down to a respectable

level. Our fans suspend in the attic and use an acoustical duct that connects to a ceiling box and grille. 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. While

performing 15-22 complete air exchanges per hour, the QuietCool whole house fan system will force the hot

stale air out of the attic which will help your house stay cooler during the hotter hours of the next day!

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Installing QuietCool

NOTE: Be sure to plug in your fan before

attempting to install to ensure that the fan

is operational. If the fan is not operational,

call the company that you purchased the fan

from and request an exchange.

Installing the QuietCool system is very easy. Simply follow the

steps given below:

1. Determine from down below in which areas you

would like to install your QuietCool fans. Go up into

the attic to mark the exact location for each fan.

Take the cardboard cut-out template and a small

screwdriver with you. Make sure the template fits between the framing.

The rough opening size varies depending on which model

of QuietCool fan you are installing:

QuietCool Fan Model Rough Opening

QC CL-1500 14-1/4” x 14-1/4”

QC CL-2250 14-1/4” x 18-1/4”

QC CL-3100 14-1/4” x 22-1/4”

QC CL-4700 14-1/4” x 30-1/4”

QC CL-6400 14-1/4” x 36-1/4”

2. When you have chosen your exact spot, place the

template on the spot and mark it at each corner by

pushing the screwdriver through at each corner to

make a hole so that you can find it from below.

3. From below, place the cut-out template on the ceiling

at each location, making sure that you have at least

2 inches of clearance all around it. While holding the

template in place, mark its outline with a pencil.

NOTE: Repeat these steps at each location.

4. Using a drywall saw or similar device, cut out the hole

in the ceiling.

NOTE: Repeat these steps at each location.

5. Open and unpack each QuietCool fan. Take the

main assembly, which includes the motor housing,

damper box, and duct into the attic through the

crawl hole and move into position near the ceiling

cut-out hole.

1-888-QUIETCOOL

6. Hang the motor head from the rafters by fastening the

metal strapping that is attached to the motor heads

to the rafters with the wood screws. Make sure that

the power box on the motor head is at the very top.

Secure duct to damper box using three black sharp

screws. Make sure the duct has a gentle 90 degree

bend to help reduce noise level.

NOTE: Once all of the QuietCool fans are hung,

it’s time to go below and install the damper box

and ceiling grill at each intake location.

7. Look through the hole and make sure there are no

kinks or twists in the ducting. Pull the damper box

down through the hole in the ceiling. Fasten the

damper box to either the drywall or the joist in the

attic. While holding it in place, install a 1-3/8” drywall

screw through the drywall into the flange of damper

box on each side to temporarily hold the box in place.

Remove ceiling grille and screws from its packaging.

Center the grille over the ceiling box. Install the grille

with the white screws provided by screwing through

flange of the damper box. Some ceiling surfaces are

uneven and may cause a small gap to be present. This

can easily be caulked later if excessive.

NOTE: Repeat these steps at each location.

Always fasten the damper box to the joist in

the attic!

8. Return to the attic and go to each location. Using

the nylon straps and the long wood screws provided,

support the duct to the framing. This will stabilize

the entire assembly. Replace any insulation that was

removed. The installation of the fan is now complete.

6QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM

VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the fan blade spins freely.

This is very important to system operation

NOTE: Local building codes and standards must be

adhered to in the installation of this unit.

AVOID BACK DRAFTS: Care should be taken to avoid

back drafting combustion appliances that are installed

in the conditioned space. It is strongly recommended

that combustion appliances NOT be installed in such a manner that they use room air for

combustion. Whole house fans are capable of pulling large quantities of air, from the home

and particularly if not enough windows are open. This could easily back draft gas appliances

located inside your home.

by an experienced electrician.
