Whole House Fan

Jacksons Trusted Heating & Cooling Experts

A whole house fan offers numerous benefits for homeowners seeking to improve indoor comfort and energy efficiency. By drawing in cooler outdoor air and expelling warm air from the home, these fans effectively ventilate the entire house, reducing indoor temperatures and promoting air circulation. This natural cooling process is particularly effective during mild weather conditions, allowing homeowners to rely less on air conditioning and reduce energy consumption. Additionally, whole house fans help eliminate stagnant air, odors, and indoor pollutants, improving indoor air quality and creating a fresher living environment. Furthermore, these fans can quickly remove heat buildup in attics, reducing the strain on insulation and prolonging the lifespan of roofing materials. Another advantage of whole house fans is their relatively low operational cost compared to traditional air conditioning systems, making them a cost-effective cooling solution for many homeowners. Overall, investing in a whole house fan can lead to significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, and better indoor air quality, making it a valuable addition to any home.

Whole house fans offer numerous benefits for homeowners seeking efficient and cost-effective cooling solutions. These fans are installed in the ceiling of a home’s uppermost floor and work by pulling cool air into the house through open windows and exhausting warm air out through the attic or vents. By harnessing the natural cooling power of outside air, whole house fans can quickly and effectively lower indoor temperatures, providing relief during hot summer months. Unlike traditional air conditioning systems, which recirculate indoor air, whole house fans continuously exchange stale, indoor air with fresh, outdoor air, reducing indoor pollutants and improving indoor air quality. Additionally, whole house fans consume significantly less energy than air conditioners, leading to lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact. Furthermore, these fans can help alleviate strain on air conditioning systems by supplementing cooling efforts during mild weather, extending the lifespan of the AC unit and reducing maintenance costs. Overall, whole house fans offer a cost-efficient, eco-friendly, and refreshing cooling solution that enhances comfort and well-being for homeowners.

Tips From The HVAC Professionals

Frequently Asked Questions

Contrary to what you may believe, there is no set parameter for sizing a system to the precise square footage of your home. Because homes are all built so differently, your home’s HVAC system will depend on its specific construction. 

To determine the size HVAC system you need, you need to have a licensed HVAC professional from Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning evaluate your home. Our expert technicians will examine your home’s layout and make recommendations depending on your home’s individual needs. Many factors go into calculating the size of a furnace or air conditioning system your home needs. Factors include the size of your home, the number of windows in your home and which direction they face, elements surrounding your home, and expectations your family has for the comfort of your home.

With all of this information, Aspen One Hour can propose a range of energy-efficient options for perfectly heating and cooling your space all year long. Call us today for your appointment!

Increasing the efficiency of your home’s HVAC system can be relatively easy. Most importantly, be sure to change your filters regularly and with the Aspen Comfort Club membership, you have peace of mind knowing that your filters are replaced at your annual tune-ups! Also, make sure your thermostat is set at higher temperatures in the summer and lower temperatures in the winter. It doesn’t take the body long to adjust to incremental changes of 2-5 degrees, and these changes can save you a lot of money on your energy bills.

Lastly, you’ll want to make sure you keep blinds closed on windows that let in direct sunlight, or use curtains to shade your home while still letting in some light. Though natural light is something we all crave, keeping your blinds and curtains closed during the hottest days of the year, especially if you are not home, can drastically decrease the effort your AC system is required to make. 

Regular maintenance on your HVAC system should be performed twice a year. The licensed professionals at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning recommend having your system serviced in the spring before the weather heats up again, and in the fall before the weather cools down. If you’re a member of our Comfort Club, this is included in your pre-paid services along with many other services we offer.

Having regular maintenance performed on your system allows for a longer system life, higher efficiency, and proactive service to stop issues before they happen. Call us today at (517) 879-2049 to schedule your maintenance or to join our Comfort Club!

In older homes that either have boiler or baseboard heating, there may not have ductwork run throughout the home, making it difficult and costly to add a traditional central air conditioning system. Therefore, a ductless heat pump, sometimes called a mini-split air conditioner or a ductless air conditioner, is a cooling system that does not utilize ducts for moving treated air throughout the space. It takes warm air from one area and moving it to another. There is an outdoor compressor unit as well as air handling units indoors to allow the system to function.

The heat is transferred through the system. It goes through the cycle of evaporation and condensation. A refrigerant substance is used through a compressor pump to help achieve this cooled air. The system contains two heat exchange coils. One of those contains the necessary refrigerant material. The other works to evaporate it. This allows the refrigerant to absorb the heat from the area. This happens during the evaporation process. They work to maintain the specific temperature a person desires by using a thermostat to control the movement of the air between the coil systems. If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s comfort but don’t have ductwork, a heat pump can be an excellent option.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air within and around homes/buildings, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Good IAQ implies that the air is free from pollutants and contributes to a comfortable and safe living or working environment.

How Can I Improve My IAQ?

To enhance indoor air quality, you can:
  • Change air filters regularly
  • Use air purifiers
  •  Ensure proper ventilation
  •  Control humidity levels
  •  Keep the living space clean and dust-free

How Often Should I Change My Filters?

Regular filter changes are vital for maintaining optimal performance. It is generally recommended to replace filters or clean reusable filters every one to three months. However, the frequency may vary based on factors like the type of filter, the level of usage, and the indoor air quality of your home.

Call Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning today to schedule your appointment to see how you can improve your air quality.

The average lifespan of an HVAC system is around 15-20 years, but factors such as maintenance, usage, type of system, and the quality of the equipment may decrease or increase the lifespan. Regular maintenance can significantly extend the system’s lifespan and Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help!

What Are Common Signs My System May Need Repair or Replacement?

Look out for these signs that your cooling or heating system is on the fritz:
  • Unusual noises
  • Inconsistent temperatures
  • Increased energy bills
  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • Poor airflow
