Hawaii homeowners are often frustrated by a lack of cooling options for our local homes. A common joke heard these days is that with a warming climate the only two choices are between air-conditioning or suffering. Serious homeowners ask, “Is it possible to cool my home without A/C?”
Paul Lopes was determined to rid his home of heat. This Ewa Beach homeowner thought that putting in A/C for his upstairs would let him sleep later after his shifts and get rid of the humidity. Unfortunately, A/C also meant keeping the windows closed. This made his home hot and stuffy no matter the time of day.
“It was inconvenient to say the least,” says Paul. “Even when the weather was cooler we were forced to run two A/C units all day and every night.”
Fortunately, Paul found his answer with Island Cooling.
This Oahu business, run by brothers Ivan and Al Whitworth, has become known for their experience in energy efficient home cooling and work with builders, electricians and homeowners. Their QuietCool system ventilates a home by drawing the heat out of the house and pulling in air from any open window or door. Installed in the attic or on the roof, QuietCool uses less than 10% of the energy of competitive products and lets homeowners choose to keep fresh air flowing through the home.
“I contacted Island Cooling and they explained in detail the process and how the system worked,” Paul says. “Installation was scheduled and completed very quickly, in less than a day, and with no hang-ups on Island Cooling’s part.”
“So often, our homes are uncomfortable because there’s a lot of heat trapped inside,” says Ivan, Island Cooling co-owner. “This system doesn’t refrigerate air, but even in hot areas like West Oahu, QuietCool helps homeowners enjoy a cooler, more comfortable life.”
Paul agrees. “It keeps the house cool with minimal electricity. Previously it was unbearable to be upstairs later than 10 a.m. unless the A/C was running. Now I am able to sleep till noon comfortably after pulling overnight shifts. It’s a great product and great service. There’s not much more I could ask for.”
Debbie is a Kailua homeowner who thought that buying a new house meant getting a cooler home.
“I leave my windows open all the time but I still didn’t get enough circulation.”
Prior to purchasing A/C she invited Island Cooling to inspect her home to see how it could be improved.
“Hot air wants to go up and out of the home,” says Al, “but it gets trapped in our home and attics by blocked vents. We may tolerate it in the cooler months, but sure notice it when it’s summer time.”
The solution for Debbie was QuietCool installed in her bedrooms and upstairs living area along with the addition of venting for her home to make up for the vents that had been blocked.
“With QuietCool circulating air, my home is breezier and fresh,” Debbie says. “This summer is going to be a lot more comfortable.”
There’s still time to get up to $100 off of a QuietCool system for your home. Visit Island Cooling’s booth at the Building Industry Association of Hawaii’s BIG Home Building & Remodeling Show 2022 April 29-May 1 at Neal S. Blaisdell Center.
