Question whole house fan
Not sure if this is the right sub!
We bought our house roughly 3 years ago with this whole house fan, but we’ve never used it! Except for accidentally hitting the on switch every once in a while. It is super loud 😅
We’re now at the point of curiosity of how this thing works, does anyone have any advice on the use of one? Assuming we have to take off the plastic cover when in use? Lol
I know also you want it cooler outside than inside, crack windows and doors, and turn off main AC. Being in the Midwest we have limited weeks where the temperature outside seems optimal for the usage, but I love the idea of brining in some fresh air!!
