QuietCool Whole House Fan Installation and Review | Homeowner DIY Quite Cool QC ES-7000 

Great install video. I'm totally a fan. The QuietCool whole house fans are a great option if you live in a place that cools off at night. I installed one in my Colorado home where we typically have 30-40 degree temperature deltas during the summer days. The fan pulls in cool air from outside and pushes the house air into the attic. This forces the hot air in the attic outside, cooling off the attic as well. Your house will stay cooler longer into the next day saving on AC costs.

Great install video, I feel fully prepared for when mine comes in this week. Not sure what’s up with all the weird, negative comments, you did everything very well. It’s also refreshing to see an attic that doesn’t look like a condo. Mine is the same way; crouch only, loose insulation, no plywood to stand on. I plan to improve it at some point.

holy cow I just stumbled upon another one of your videos while reseraching the quiet cool house fan lol. Looks like people who buy Teslas, also buy this product.

Great video! The product seems well-made, but the price point is quite high considering its basic functionality. Given the cost, I was surprised to see it lacks features like a remote control, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a dedicated app. These additions could significantly enhance user experience.

All the fans 3000 and above are 3 speed capable. all you need to do is gently pull the conduit back and it will expose the 3rd wire. You will know for sure if the motor is 3 speed capable because it will be on the actual fan motor lable. Once you get the conduit pulled back you will see it has been capped off. Run a wire off of that using a wire nut and and some electric tape then run the new wire down the conduit run. using that RF remote (which I recommend) you wire it using the 3 speed set up. Blue to blue, Red to red, Yellow to the wire you had to install off the motor, and the blacks to blacks and whites to whites. Run the ground from the power cable to the ground inside the RF box. Done. Now you have 3 speeds not two. I have no idea why they did not run that third wire down throught the conduit run. It is much better to have a medium speed if you want... not just a High / Low speed. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I really have an idea now of what it would take to install.👍

What a fantastic episode. Very nicely done, Brudda. Your tone and pace are perfect. You should do audio books. Your video is great. Thank you for sharing.

I currently have a smaller older ES-2250 that's been great during the hot summer months to cool the house in the evening and early morning. It would have been nice to have the wireless feature in lieu of the wired controls. Nice video.

GREAT video/discussion!

It's a tandem breaker, not a double pole.

Thank you for sharing. What's the recommended outside temp to turn on fan? When the fan is on high setting, is it really loud to hear across rooms?

You have a beautiful home, but you are going to want to remove all of that carpet and use rugs. I grew up in a house without AC in Texas and we used an attic fan, which is essentially what you just installed. We did a yearly spring cleaning, like all people did back then. We had to, in order to clean the dirt and dust from the house. Spring cleaning involved removing every single thing from inside the house and cleaning the house and the rugs and furniture. Every single thing came out of the house. Every piece of furniture, drawer including stuff from the closets. Washed the walls and cleaned the ceilings. Everything got cleaned piece by piece and replaced. You could not pay me to put an attic fan in my home. Modern homes just aren't built to be cleaned like what is required to have a "clean" home when using an attic fan. Think about how dirty your AC filters get. You are going to get that times 100 by pulling unfiltered air in the windows. Plus you are going to suck/push a hell of a lot of dirt from your attic into your home through every ceiling penetration you have, unless all of them are sealed in air tight fire-proof boxes. I also have can lights in my home and they are horrible for allowing dirt from the attic into the house. I wish you luck, and man I can still remember how great it felt to lay in bed in front of the open window on a hot summer night, but that is going to cost you in the long run I'm afraid. I do hope it works out for you though.

Very helpful review.

I think that you mention two speed. Isn't that fan a three speed fan with an EC motor? I see that the wireless controller has low med and high. Also, Have you automated it, maybe with a cell phone app?

Great review. Its just a shame QuietCool makes the UGLIEST controllers for their fans. Why wouldn't they make something that seemlessly blends with switches everyone in the real world is using? Or let us use our OWN switches without having to figure out the correct wiring (albeit simplistic wiring for DIY). I'll be shopping around a little more but this is a great review to see if the QuietCool is worth the pricetag. Thanks!

I have a QC ES-6000 and I can not get the duct off the fan to take the fan up to the attic. Even with the latch unhooked, there is not enough slack to pull the duct off the fan. Any ideas how to get the duct and fan to separate?

Seems like you have Blown in insulation in the attic…. is it safe to install this WHFan with that insulation? Does it make the insulation fly around? I have johns manville blown in fiberglass in my attic… i really want to get this fan installed but i’m worried it might make the insulation fly around.

if you don't get the wireless control kit, how do you turn it on? Go up in the attic every time?

Nice review 👌

Bro why don't you show the complete install

The switch has medium speed, why not use the yellow wire?

how long does it take for the fan to exhaust the hot air out of you house in the evenings?

Do you also have an attic fan? I was curious if you need both or just the attic fan? Great vid man. Good job doing it all yourself

I like the idea but I’m confused on this.. because if it’s suppose to help with the house getting cooler why would I want my windows open? Do I leave my windows open and then turn the ac on?

why are these so expensive for a grill, duct and fan?!

Can you please share a video after these months of using it. Does the insulation gets blown around in the attic?

My Quiet Cool isn't Quiet Make sure you have a window or door open before you turn it on, it will suck the ceiling down.

Just bought one. Should arrive next week but wireless switch kit arrives a week later. Will I be able to run it with out switch

Why did you use 20 amp wiring?

I need a fan just to cool down my attic. I live in Florida Bonita Springs. If you know anybody that could install for me let me know. Thank you and have a nice day.

If you run the AC, doesn't cool air escape your home through this duct?

How many degrees does it drop your house? And about how long does it take?

Have you thought about adding more insulation, say R60

Hello, the new MJJC foam cannon S V3.0 have released,may I know if you like to review it? Thanks!

does it really help? man it is 1500 you know.

God that is loud

Yes and removing cool air out of the house not good move and upsetting your ac handler return air pulling negative air against your return air grill.

Very odd house design

I have the same kit, love it, also cuts way down on a/c use. Keeps house fresh and cool!

$1200 for a fan, flex pipe, metal box with louvers. I'm sure it's a good product just way overpriced IMHO. Have a good day

what city/area do you live in?
