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 and suffering. Serious homeowners ask, “Is it possible to cool my home without AC?”
Paul Lopes was determined to rid his home of heat. This Ewa Beach homeowner thought that putting in AC for his upstairs would let him sleep later after his shifts and get rid of the humidity.
Unfortunately, AC 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,” Lopes says. “Even when the weather was cooler, we were forced to run two AC units all day and every night.”
Fortunately, Lopes found his answer with Island Cooling. This Windward Oahu business, run by broth- ers Ivan and Al Whitworth, has become known for the company’s experience in energy-efficient home cool- ing and working with builders, electricians and home- owners. The company’s 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, 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,” Lopes 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.”

Lopes agrees, saying, “It keeps the house cool with minimal electricity. Previously, it was unbearable to be upstairs later than 10 a.m. unless the AC 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,” she says.
Prior to purchasing an AC unit, she invited Island Cooling to inspect her home to see how it could be im- proved.
“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 and solar fans that don’t work. We may tolerate it in the cooler months, but sure notice it come summertime.”
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 breezi- er and fresh,” Debbie explains. “This summer is going to be a lot more comfortable.”
