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.

They were very responsive, came to the house quickly, gave honest feedback about what work actually needed to be done instead of trying to just make more money, and they were made sure to take extra care in being respectful of my home. I definitely plan to use them again in the future and share them with anyone I know who's looking for a great electrician.

Very professional and overall pleasant experience. I had a chandelier and brand new recessed lighting installed, and everything was done very quickly and efficiently. They were very knowledgable, answered all my questions, and did a fantastic job at installing everything. Would highly recommend them for all your electrical work, and will be reaching out to them again in the future for other projects I need done.

This is the first time that I have used your business. Your representative, Barry came to my home to repair my timer switch for the outside light. He explained everything to me so that I could understand what he would need to do. He was friendly, professional and got everything done in under an hour! The price was within my budget too! I am so pleased - and Barry should be cloned! Thank you so much, especially, for arranging the schedule the day before Thanksgiving - I really appreciate you!!

I had initially contacted them to replace a cutoff for our hot tub, and decided to have a few other items attended to. It was easy for me to arrange for a mutually agreeable appointment, the service personnel arrived on time, and the work was performed in a professional manner that met our expectations. Should the need arise in the future, we will certainly contact Dk Electrical Solutions again!

Jeff was on time, professional and great to talk to. He installed a bathroom exhaust fan/light. Glad i didn't attempt this job on My own, since the old fan had a 3" exhaust tube and the new prodyct i purchased had a 4". So jeff went to Lowes and bought the adapter and then installed it properly. Clean up was done promptly as well. I would highly reccomend DK Electrical Solutions to anybidy needing any type of electrical work or installations.

Jeff was great! I needed help with my mom's house to properly install her new electric dryer and also update many worn outlets. I'm not local and he spent time on the phone with me to walk through everything, explained all the work, helped me prioritize, and got all of the work done same day for a fair price. Overall a great experience!

I was very happy with DK Electrical Solutions. Brendan and his helper came to my house and gave me a quote for the work I needed done and to my surprise Brendan and his helper were the guys that did the work! They replaced my panel, added a generator outlet and interlock kit, ran a homerun for my microwave, separated some circuits, repaired flying splices , replaced connections, secured loose junction boxes and rewired switches in three rooms. The guys did a great job and I couldnt be happier.

Highly recommend this company. From first call to final install I have no complaint. Responded to voicemail fast and set up appointment for a quote. Price was in the range I expected. The work was actually better than I expected. New panel fully and clearly labeled, conduit ran out of the way and right into corners, car charger in perfect location. As a diy guy that’s kinda thrifty (cheap) I’m extra thrilled about the whole experience. No buyers remorse here! Thanks Barry, Derek, great lady in the office and helpers whose names I can’t remember (sorry)!

From the initial appointment, Barry was a great representative of the company. He assessed my situation and was able to recommend a product that would fit my needs and be used for years to come.On the initial install day I was called first thing in the morning re:concerns about the wind and their inability to install. I appreciated this as I would not want anyone to be hurt installing lighting for my home (and I believe there was an actual tornado that night).The next week they came promptly 8 am and finished the install by 10:30. The team was very professional and respectful of my home. I’m so excited to finally have this outside lighting!!! If I have any other electrical needs, I will be contacting them first.

Jeff was the third electrician to look at two electric problems in my home.The first two could not find the problem. But Jeff was enthusiastic and took the time to identify and repair the problems. Not only did he do a terrific job but he is an extremely pleasant and professional technician. He explained exactly what was broken, what was needed to fix it and performed the services for a fair price. I will not hesitate to call DK Electrical Solutions for other electrical repairs and recommend them highly to anyone seeking these services.

Jeff from DK Electrical Solutions did a great job providing the services that we requested. Jeff did such a great job that we found more work for him to come back to perform. Jeff and Dillion returned a second time to install decorative light switches for our living room lights and ceiling fan. They found that the previous owners did not install the ceiling fan to code. They corrected the issue, which could have become a major problem. We will definitely use DK Electrical Solutions and Jeff for any future electrical work we might need, and will not hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends.

DK was very professional from start to finish. They offered me 3 options for replacing my main power supply to (2) meters at a rental property. Each was clearly explained as Good, Better & Best options.Lisa at DK was awesome! She arranged the permit, scheduled inspections and even coordinated scheduling with my tenants for the work to be done! I will definitely use them again.

These guys were fast and on time. They came into a project that I was over my head in and gave me ideas on what should be done to make it ideal for our daughters room as well as safe in an old home. The estimate was lower than we budgeted for and was completed better than we expected it to look. I will absolutely recommend and use them again.

Barry and his crew were fantastic! I had just bought a new home and needed to upgrade the outlets and switches, now I can control all my light switches from my phone!!! The light fixtures and fans were outdated and Barry helped me chose not only the best fixtures for the spaces but the correct color temperature for the space. They were efficient, educated in their trade and clean. The price was more than fair to have a job done so well. I highly recommend!

I have used almost every handyman and electrical contractor in Cherry Hill for the past 20 years and they were all OK, one or two maybe a little drunk, but I finally found DK Electrical Solutions. What a difference, for the same amount of money. Which is great, I like to get my money's worth, no more, no less. Brendan and Dylan were excellent in completing the job in a timely and professional manner. I am very pleased that they installed the correct size fan in my attic, and explained to me how they developed their experienced, expert opinion, after the 5 or 6 fans that were not installed or sized properly over the years. I will be calling DK up this week as soon as my 4 new ceiling fans arrive, to install for me. What a relief, Thanks Brendan, Dylan and DK Electrical Solutions. Scott Saline

I Want to share a very profesional experience I had with DK Electric and two of their star service techs, Ryan & Tyler. My wife & I couldn't be happier with the results of our kitchen lighting project. The team took great care to involve us in the details of the placement of the fixtures ahead of time to make sure we were going to be happy with the finished results. Ryan & Tyler were a pleasure to have in my home and would definately recommend them.
