Since whole-house fans will continue to draw air out of the house and replace it with outdoor air yearround, be sure to cover and insulate the fan during winter months.
By using a whole-house fan to keep the home cool during the night and morning hours, you are decreasing the amount of time that the air conditioner needs to operate.
To prevent heating and cooling loss through the fan when it is not in use, look for a fan cover or have one constructed to seal the fan when the air conditioner is in use and when the home is being heated in the winter.
