Ventilation Systems Installation & Repair

Whole-house fans work to cool your home when the outside temperature is lower than your inside temperature. Some of you may be familiar with using a box fan in your window sill to draw the cool air from outside your window into the room. The whole-house fan works basically in the same manner, but on a larger more technical, and efficient scale. In the day during summer months, homeowners typically use their air conditioning units when they are home and turn them off or program their thermostat on a higher temperature while away. The whole-house fan reduces the amount of time your air conditioning unit stays on (if it needs to come on at all). As the temperature drops, the homeowner would open the windows and/or doors and then proceed to turn on the whole-house fan. The whole-house fan, mounted in the attic, would then suck the cool fresh air from outside while at the same time exhausting the hot air up and out through installed attic vents. So, it ventilates the attic while at the same time drawing massive amounts of cool air in. This cycle continues, effectively cooling your home through the night. As a result, the homeowner wouldn't have to turn the air conditioner on until later in the day (if home) or for only a short period of time in the evening. These savings would be exponentially higher during the spring and fall months, as we Southern Californians know, the drop in temperature between night and day are significant during these seasons. You could potentially cool your home all day without ever turning the air conditioner on.

A residential economizer works in a similar fashion as a whole-house fan, however, it is a better choice for those individuals who do not like unfiltered air blowing in their home (we're looking at you allergy sufferers), or are in a climate where they are typically in bed before the temperatures outside reach the optimal level to properly cool your home. The residential economizer works in conjunction with your home air handler, and during operation of your air conditioning unit. Basically, the economizer supplies the air conditioner with filtered outdoor air when the air conditioner is on and the outside temperature is lower than the indoor temperature. Therefore, the load on your air conditioner is reduced and your energy savings are increased. You will be using cooler outdoor air to cool your Lancaster, Palmdale, or Santa Clarita home but with filtered conditioned air. Zion Custom Air builds comfort systems that last.
