STOP Wasting Energy! Insulate Your Whole House Fan NOW!

This homeowner had a whole house fan installed in the ceiling of their home that they did not want to part with. The problem with whole house fans is that they are usually terribly energy efficient. The problem is that when they are not running, they are extremely inefficient as their thin metal louvers allow hot summer attic temps to radiate down into the home, as well as heat to escape the home during the winter. Insulwise's solution for this is to build a sturdy box around the fan and then insulate the top and sides with 2" thick, insulated foam board. The top has a removeable lid with handles. The end result is a robust solution that keeps out summer heat, seals in warmth during the winter, and will last for years! If you live in the Pittsburgh, Pa area would like Insulwise to make your house cooler and more energy efficient (and the same for winter), call Insulwise at 412-260-6701 or stop by our website at www.insulwise.com.
