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.

Just moved into a home in Maple Shade that had bad wiring in the electrical panel; Brendan and George came out literally 1-2 hours after I contacted them and fixed everything and then some. They were helpful, professional, courteous and super affordable. I can’t say enough about them. Thank you a million times over. Ten stars all around!

Had multiple issues that needed to be addressed, including removal of Tv and sound system and mounting and setting up new TV. Brendan came to give an estimate, he listened carefully and gave me alternatives. Estimate was reasonable for the amount I needed done. Brendan and George arrived when promised, were professional, arrived with all supplies needed and took all the debris with them for recycling. Very happy with job upon completion.

Needed hardwiring done for smoke detectors. Called late last week, got appointment for first thing thing morning. Work done in the same day, for a price well below other quotes (from companies that never followed up.) Brendan and George were A++! Professional, detailed in reviewing the issues and explaining my different options. High quality work and they were very considerate in the drywall cuts they had to make. Very grateful to have had such a positive experience with a company I’ve never used before. Would recommend to anyone!

Brendan came out for a estimate. I decided ok. We booked date. Showed up ready to go. He did a very professional job. Installed new outlets, switches, range hood. Also took care of some breakers that needed replacing and capped off outside spot light not needed.. Cleaned up after each thing he did. Nice polite guy. My kitchen looks just about new! I'll definitely call for any future work! Thankyou Brendan!

We've used DK Electrical twice now - once to fix issues with some of our GFI outlets, and again recently to have two new bathroom exhaust fans and a new outdoor flood light installed. Brendan helped us out both times and is super friendly, professional, honest, and thorough. We've never felt price gouged or pressured, and we'll continue using them whenever we need work done. As first time home owners, it's important to have reliable companies we know and trust to help us maintain our home.

Brendan and George were great! They were on time, friendly and professional.

I have used DK quite a few times over the last 5 years. They have installed my garbage disposal, electrical fixtures and done extensive rewiring work in my home. I am beyond pleased with their expertise, professionalism and courteous attitude. The prices are fair and they take the time to explain the work. I highly recommend. Ask for Brendan K and George!

My mother and I are extremely pleased with the service from DK. Brendan was super thorough when examining the electrical work needed for our gut renovation. He and George were on-time, professional, and always cleaned up after they completed for the day. We are so grateful for them going above and beyond with multiple tasks. The quality of service we received was excellent from start to finish. We definitely recommend DK Electrical Solutions for all of your electric needs!

This is the second time I used DK Electrical Solutions. Brandon and George were very on time. They installed a outlet in my garage another one in my living room and one upstairs in my bathroom. Very friendly and reliable. Explained what he did since had to change a few. I will use again.

Thought I would share my good fortune in finding DK Electrical Solutions Inc. Because as you know - it's hard to find skilled and reliable electricians. Well, I just met two for sure. Brendan and George spent the morning fixing my outdoor GFCI outlets, rewiring an outdoor floodlight, installing a standard ceiling light fixture on our front porch and most importantly, correcting dangerous deficiencies in our rather old circuit breaker.In short, if you are looking for a electrician, I recommend calling DK Electrical Solutions Inc.

We have used DK Electrical Solutions for everything from installing a whole house generator to installing a dedicated line for my glass art kiln. Most recently, Brendan and George installed a new timer and switch on my pool. They arrived on time, and when they discovered the pool needed a new timer, they went right out and got one to finish the job. DK is professional from start to finish. I highly recommend DK Electrical Solutions!

Brendan and Garret were prompt, professional and easy to work with. We had 4 outlets that didn’t work properly and needed their help. They explained it could be due to many issues or factors but they got to work and found and fixed the cause in less than 2 hours. Highly recommend!

I can't speak highly enough about Brendan Kuchinka from DK Electrical Solutions. He came out to install a ceiling fan and was super professional, on-time, courteous and reliable. A week later, the fan was making some weird noises. So, Brendan came back out with his assistant Jarred. This time, they had to take the whole fan apart to discover that the electrical box that was originally installed in our home when it was built was barely screwed into the truss, hence causing the fan to be misaligned and making noise. To make it work correctly, he had to reinstall the electrical box correctly and then put the entire fan back together. Before they left, they called me in to check it out and make sure I was satisfied - which I was! I am so grateful for this experience and I would definitely call DK and ask for Brendan for any electrical needs going forward.

Hands down the best electrical company I have ever used. From the initial phone call through the completed electrical work, the customer service of Kimberly at the office, the quality of work done by Brendan and Jarred was amazing. After so many horrible experiences in the past, it was a pleasure working with them. I am so happy with the beautiful work and highly recommend. Save your time and don't look elsewhere! 🙂

I was VERY pleased with the services provided by DK Electrical Solutions. Brendan installed a light fixture in a walk-in closet, and repaired 2 ceiling fans. He explained to me what needed to be done in a way that made it easy for me to understand. He also went over the price for each service, and gave me a price, upfront, for the completed job. The price was fair.Brendan was very knowledgeable, explaining his findings and corrections/actions taken as he completed the repairs.All in all ... a positive and pleasant experience. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use their services in the future. Thank you Brendan !

We initially called DK Electrical to come out and fix some outlets in our new house that weren't generating any power. Brendan came out the same week, and we realized he could also help us install some new outlets that would help hide the wires for our mounting TVs. He was very professional and informative, explaining to us in layman's terms everything he needed to do, and quoted us a fair price for the jobs. He came back a week later and completed everything quickly and efficiently.As a bonus, Kimmy from the main office was a delight to speak with on the phone. She called with updates to confirm our appointments and also to let us know whenever Brendan was on his way.I would 100% recommend DK Electrial Solutions to anyone looking for electrical work in South Jersey.

Brendan came out to give us an estimate and we appreciated his honesty and professionalism. After receiving several estimates, we chose to have our attic fan installed by DK Electric. Their prices were competitive and fair compared to some others. But their warranty on parts and labor was what really sold us. They were very accommodating, working around our busy schedule. Brendan came back with his crew to perform the installation. They were on-time, professional, completed the job within the expected time-frame, and cleaned up the work space in the attic before leaving. We were very pleased with the quality of the recommended parts and service we received, from start to finish. We have already recommended DK Electric to some of our neighbors.

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.

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.

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.
