Explore ways to cool your home
Summer can be a frus- trating time for home- owners trying to get
comfortable in their homes. As the sun beats down on their roofs, residents can literally feel heat radiating down from their ceiling. For many folks, this means that all that trapped hot air makes their home a lot hot- ter inside than it is outside and turning on a ceiling fan just mixes the hot air around.
Julie Honda of Kailua-Ko- na was one of those home- owners. Honda comments, “We were new to living at an elevation so close to sea level and during the hot months we were running our overhead ceiling fans 24/7.
“We had solar panels to keep electricity costs down, but when running the A/C it was a hassle to open and

close windows all the time. We also didn’t like the ex- treme changes in tempera- ture between the inside and outside, and once the A/C was on, we never ventured outside. At night, the cycling of the A/C would wake us up with the noise.”
Honda heard about the QuietCool system and, after talking with Ivan Whitworth of Island Cooling, decided to install a system in her home. Her QuietCool Stealth Pro 6.5 fan has a central intake with a very energy efficient pair of fans in the attic, which draw heat out of the home and vent it through the at- tic vents.
A timer control on the wall
allows her to set the hours of use and speed.
She writes, “The tempera- ture difference is perfect. It feels like being in the shade outside, cool and comfort- able. We have a constant flow of fresh cool air and it costs pennies per hour to run, so we’ve been leaving the fans on for our deserv- ing dog during the day. We highly recommend these fans to anyone who enjoys living a seamless indoor/out- door lifestyle. It is literally like a breath of fresh air.”
