Whole House Fan Installation
On many extremely hot, humid New Jersey days, your home air conditioning system may need supplementary help to cool the entire house. Alternatively, on less hot and less humid days, a good whole house fan system can cool the house sufficiently without the air conditioner running at all. Ceiling fans are little or no help and may make the situation worse by circulating the hottest air in the room, which is at the ceiling. Installing a whole house fan is the solution.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to keep your home cool, a whole-house fan might be the solution for you. Call DK Electrical Solutions for a whole-house fan installation today!
What is a Whole House Fan?
Floor fans, window fans, ceiling fans, and other types are placed in a room and are intended to cool one room or a small area of the space immediately in front of the fan. But, a whole house fan is designed to cool the entire house. This type of fan is located in the attic. It is designed to draw in fresh air from the outdoors, which then forces the warm air that has become heated and trapped inside the house through the home’s windows and vents.
What are the Benefits of a Whole House Fan?
There are many great comfort and cost-saving benefits of whole house fans installation. If the outside air is warmer than the air inside your home, there are big advantages in having a whole house fan, vs. fans in individual rooms or just an air conditioning system.
With a whole house fan, you can simply open your windows and turn on the equipment without using your air conditioning system. This will generate negative air pressure, which forces out the existing hot air from the house through windows and air vents.
It’s a great way to reduce air conditioning bills, enjoy a more comfortable home, and flush fresh air into and stagnant air out of your home constantly.
Mistakes to Avoid When Installing a Whole House Fan
Here are some of the most common mistakes South Jersey homeowners make when installing a whole home fan system with DIY plans:
Inaccurately Sizing the House Fan System
Calculate the total square footage of the building to determine the right size whole house fan. The unit should exchange air throughout the house at least once every four minutes or so.
Insufficient Area for Exhaust in the Attic
Find the amount of square footage in vents necessary in the attic for cooling to be effective. Without enough air vents, the cooling effect will be compromised.
Choosing a Bad Location for the Fan
Install your whole-house fan at the center of your attic. If there’s no attic, install it in the center hall attic. From the middle of the house, it can pull fresh air from outside and force hot air out.
Not Moving Unnecessary Obstructions
When installed in the appropriate place, your whole house fan can circulate enough air to generate over 50 air changes per hour. That is an extraordinary ventilation capacity.
A whole house fan is most effective at cooler times of day and night, but it incomparably outperforms the best ceiling fans.

Bob Edwards did a great job. In addition to solving my electrical issues, Bob helped me understand the big picture and how to identify and prevent future issues. Bob is a great technician and a major asset to DK Electrical Solutions.
He was very perfection, he hung up my lights and they look beautiful Thank you
As usual I called DK with an emergency. I was displaced by a fire in my neighbors home. My meter was removed during the worst snow storms in nine years. The process of filing my permits was made easier with Britney's help. Derek went above and beyond by hand carrying the paperwork to the township building. You couldn't hire a better team. I have always had positive interactions with the staff.
Joe was very professional! He did an amazing job! Definitely will request Joe to come out for my next project!!!
Reliable and Trustworthy Service! We’ve been with DK electrical solutions Inc. for 2 years and couldn’t be happier. The service is dependable, the team is friendly, and everything is transparent—no hidden fees. Their operations are clean and efficient, with high standards and knowledgeable staff. Great customer service and overall experience!
We couldn’t be happier with the work DK Electric did for us. We initially called them for a couple of dead outlets in our kitchen, and Bob came out quickly to troubleshoot. He went above and beyond our expectations, not only addressing the dead outlets issue but also doing a very thorough safety check on our entire house (and helping us move heavy furniture to inspect more outlets!). Our panel was starting to age to the point it was no longer safe, and Bob very thoroughly explained what options were (and was very honest and non-pushy about it). We ended up hiring DK to upgrade our service a couple weeks later, and Bob and George were amazing. They were incredibly nice, self-sufficient, and clean. They explained everything they did in detail and made sure we understood everything before they wrapped up the job. Communication with everyone in the office was wonderful too - super friendly and easy to work with! We highly recommend DK Electric.
So happy with the service from DK and Joe L. So informative, thorough. We had a little arching issue with an outlet and Joe fixed the issue, made us feel safe. Thanks for the quick service! Will definitely be using them again. Had Joe come back for another job. We had our house upgraded from 100 to 200 amp. Also had the inside switches and outlets all redone. We had a dedicated plug for an electric heater for our great room. Again Joe did an amazing job, gave us a couple options on location and did an amazing job. Would highly recommend!
Bob and George were great! I wanted legacy recessed lighting replaced with LED lights in my kitchen and bath and the wiring done for my Ring doorbell. They did all of it efficiently and neatly. When I wanted to adjust the LEDs to a warmer setting George came back and did it within a 1/2 hour or so. I will say that DK's pricing was a bit high, but I needed it done promptly, I had confidence that DK would do it properly, and I knew that the LED lights aren't cheap.
Bob was professional and friendly. He arrived when we were told he would and wore shoe covers. He was very thorough and explained our options for the lighting fixture. He also completed an electrical assessment and explained his findings. He made recommendations for possible work to maintain safety. We appreciated the time he took with us.
This was my first experience with DK ELECTRICAL. I called yesterday with my problem ( Thursday) , scheduled for an appointment (Monday), and was called again this morning with an offer to take the appointment today due to another’s cancellation. I was thrilled!! My technician, Joe Linarello was on time, texted with photo ID before arrival, very professional and I appreciate that he put shoe coverings on, and was able to fix my issue promptly. We also discussed the possibility of replacing my electrical panel in the near future, and Joe gave me excellent pricing and much needed updated safety features with the installation. I am looking forward to being a regular customer with DK ELECTRICAL, and I would highly recommend this company for all your electrical needs. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bob with DK Electrical was fantastic. Learned a lot during the inspection but did not feel pressed with a hard sell
Great attention to details and knowledge of options for solving complex problems.
Bob did a great job by providing me a price quote for the project after on-site checking those red-tapped area and hearing me out about concerns from other important stakeholders.
I had new outlet run for my new electric fireplace in my tv room. It was run directly from the breaker panel to the outside wall in my den. It included a new 20 amp breaker going to a 20 amp quad outlet behind the unit. Joe and his coworker did a great job. Clean and neat and above all quickly done. I couldn’t be happier. I have used this company at least 4 other times. Always professional and courteous.
This is amazing company whom I have dealt with for several years for all my electrical concerns. Every member has been kind and knowledgeable towards the work when explaining their services. Appointments are given timely, and the job is completed as well as safety checks to your home. I highly recommend this company!
Brendan was friendly and knowledgeable, and he installed the light fixtures quickly and well. Things are now much better in my kitchen, dining room, and closets.
Wanted to give a shoutout to Bob from DK Electric Solutions who done some work in my home yesterday. What an amazing and knowledgeable young man. Not only did he explain exactly what was needed, this guy went way above and beyond what he needed to. And my guy stayed late (no extra cost) to make sure we were good. Even missed the kids parent teacher conference. Lol His wife made it tho. During these times when customer service seems to be out on the back burner, it’s extremely satisfying to see a company that prides itself on making sure the customer is a happy. They for sure have my future business.
Dk replaced our whole fuse box and also replaced our baseboard heaters . Service was excellent and they were extremely clean and efficient. I always believed you get what you pay for and that’s the truth with this company. I highly recommend them for all electric needs .
Bob did a great job. Answered all of our questions and solved all the issues
Joe was very professional and educated on what my specific concerns were. I will absolutely be reaching out again!
Installation of outdoor post lamp. Very professional, explaing the process and answering all questions. Installation went smoothly and the results were as expected of professional work.
Joe was very knowledgeable and professional, the price was very reasonable, will call again next time
Great service and special shout out also to Rebecca, who was so pleasant to deal with over the phone. Will definitely reach out again for any specific electrical needs.
Bob was amazing! He was patient and took the time to explain all of his findings. I had a small list of electrical odds and ends for him to do and he had them completed within the hour. (Improperly grounded outlets and switches, replacing electrical panel switches, etc.)
Joe was great, DK arrived promptly and did the work. I'm not a guy that likes to know how the sausage is made, I like techs and companies that come in, find problem, fix problem, without explaining what they are doing every step of the way. I really don't care, and I also have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. I'm a grocer, and an operations guy. Not an electrician. DK and Joe are perfect if you are like me and too busy to have someone explain something to you that you either don't have the need to retain or care. 5 stars...
Bob was excellent, explained the choices for a light fixture and smoke detectors and performed the installation efficiently. Highly recommend him
Brendan did a excellent job in being very thorough in all of my electrical needs. He was very pleasant and had explained different payment plans. I will definitely use DK Electricial Solutions in the future.
The electricians did a fantastic job! The were very thorough in their safety review and gave us various options to consider. They pointed problems left by a previous contractor and suggested corrections. The work was very professional and courteous. I will definitely hire them again.
Second time we called DK out to look at an electrical issue in my small townhome development. Super knowledgeable electricians that take the time to explain everything. Brendan was thorough but quick. Super professional but personable. Thanks so much!
Brendan did a great job as always. Always professional and willing to explain problems and solutions.
Brendan was sent out to check out aluminum branch wiring found at a home I was purchasing and he did a great job of analyzing the situation and provided explanations to the fix. Much appreciated
Joe and his team added fans in our home. They were a professional, timely, and thorough group. Pricing was transparent before the work began. Thanks, DK team!
Brendan come out today to give a quote for electric to be ran to our detached garage. He explained everything in detail and gave a great quote. Very honest and easy to talk with. Looking forward to having our electric done and support and family run local business.

Their candor, professionalism, technical knowledge, ability, and business acumen put us at the top of their priority list and eased our families concerns. I would highly recommend DK Electrical Solutions to anyone in need of any electrical work in the area.
DK has provided services in our home several times and we have been completely satisfied each time. DK's service is professional and courteous. I recommend DK without reservation.
Brendan was polite and professional as always. He has done a great job for me in the past and I know that he will do the same this time. I will always call DK Electric for all my electrical needs.
I recently had a consultation with Joe from DK Electric, and I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and understanding of the scope of work I needed. He took the time to find the best solutions at affordable costs, ultimately saving me money. His expertise convinced me to sign the contract today, and I am excited to move forward with the project.
Derek worked with me in a difficult time to get bob out as quickly as possible. I look forward to scheduling the work with them as I am grateful for how they have worked with me during this time. Thank you to dk!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DK Electrical Solutions provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond in every way. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with their work and highly recommend them for any electrical needs!
Great job, ask for Barry. He and his assistant fixed several problems that we’ve been having with our switches and outdoor lights. Extremely knowledgeable, hard working and thorough. Very fairly priced. Excellent company. Will only use them for future needs. 8/2025 - Used DK again, Brendan, to install an EV charger in our garage. Excellent job. Totally accommodating, professional, and had it installed one week from my request. Really appreciate a company like this, as it is hard to find a great contractor like DK.
