ISLAND COOLING LLC AUG. 4, 2019 HAWAII RENOVATION 11
A better option for keeping cool
With the start of summer, finding an affordable
cooling solution has sud- denly moved to the top of many homeowner’s to-do- lists. Most people are famil- iar with A/C, but what about evaluating the other options out there?
“I looked at A/C, ceiling fans and attic fans,” said Justin Jenks of Ewa Beach. “It was tough to find infor- mation that compared the different types of equip- ment and how they work for homes in my neighborhood.”
Ivan Whitworth of Island
Cooling LLC has been help- ing homeowners find relief from the heat for over eight years. “It’s helpful to look at the full picture,” he said. “For many homes, the main source of indoor heat is from

Cool Your Home with
hot trapped air in the attic.” Ivan explained that attic ventilation, including ridge vents, bird-hole vents or so- lar attic fans are important, but only half of the solution. “If the home doesn’t have enough ventilation or insula- tion, indoor heat lingers late into the afternoon, even after
the sun goes down.”
The second step is to look
at the area to be cooled. If the area has a lot of volume, or has jalousie windows, it can be difficult to air condition that space. He recommends homeowners take a look at the QuietCool whole house
fan. According to efficiency program Hawaii Energy, “A whole house fan draws cool- er, outside air through your living space by pushing the hot air out of the home and out of the attic vents, creat- ing a cooling breeze.”
Evaluating a home for Qui- etCool is simple. Customer Jenel Okada described a visit by Al Whitworth of Is- land Cooling to her Waipahu home. “Al came out to our home and showed the differ- ent temperature readings in the house. He then went into the attic to measure how big it was and how many vents
we currently had.”
Taking the home size,
vents, and attic space into account, Al was able to size a system for Jenel’s home. “It’s unbelievable,” she said. “It sucks the hot air out of your home. So if the outside air is cooler than inside, like when you go outside and think it’s so much cooler out there, then it will work for you. For us, it works even at the peak heat of the day!”
