The QC CL-3100 advanced whole house fan is a new take on the idea of whole house ventilation. Whole house ventilation allows you to bring the cooler outdoor air through your windows, home, and attic space to thoroughly cool and ventilate both the home and attic. This is what allows your home to stay cooler the next day and resist heating up as much as it would if you only ran the AC to cool the home. The QuietCool QC CL-3100 is designed to be installed centrally in small-to-midsize homes. Simply open a window when you get home from work, flip on the QuietCool, and enjoy a peaceful and cool evening relaxing. And for an even better system, purchase another smaller QuietCool unit for your master bedroom to enjoy a full range of cooling and ventilation.
Product Features
Never run your A/C at night again! QuietCool works perfectly at night when the temperature drops, mass-cooling your home without the use of A/C. By mass cooling your home at night it will remain cooler during the day.

4 Questions Answered
Q: Can this unit be installed at the top of a high wall (18ft) and vent into the attic instead of in a ceiling? by Edward G. from Rhode Island on August 05, 2016
A: If the grille is being installed on a vertical surface, you will need a vertical adapter to ensure the dampers work properly. by Chris, Product Expert
Q: What diameter is duct, and what is the max length it can be extended without reducing CFM? by Stephen M. from New York on June 24, 2016
A: This QuietCool fan has a 16" duct diameter, and 6' duct length. Any extension of the duct would add static pressure, causing reduced CFM. The duct work is intended simply to reduce noise levels, and the fan head simply hangs in the middle of the attic. by Chris, Product Expert
Q: How is cold winter air insulated from entering your home through the fan? Is there an insulation rating? by James from Utah on June 23, 2016
A: The Classic and Energy Saver whole house fans use dampers with an R5 insulation value to help keep cold air out of the home. An R-40 winterizing kit is available to seal the grille during cold winter temperatures. by Chris, Product Expert
Q: I have a vaulted ceiling. 8' at lowest and 10' at highest. Not much of a pitch. Question. Can I mount the damper box on that pitch. As long as I mount it in a fashion that the flapper will want to stay closed by Dave A. from Michigan on May 27, 2016
A: As long as the pitch is less than 45 degrees from horizontal, you will not have a problem. by Chris, Product Expert

Very Nice Product
Upstairs vaulted ceiling bedroom was not getting cool enough. I was going to install a typical whole house attic fan, but needed something where I could mount the opening on the Wall rather than the ceiling. So I decided on QuietCool and very happy with my selection.
Installation was not difficult.
The instructions for installing the Vertical Adapter was not clear and incorrect at some points. Even though there was a video, details were lacking. However a good mechanical person can figure it out. I also used foil tape to seal the Vertical Adapter to the standard QuietCool Ceiling Box, which worked very well.
The Vertical Adapter did not come with any sheet metal screws, so make sure you have some on hand.
I disconnected the standard power plug and installed a High/Lo/Off Switch from QuietCool. The installation instruction were clear and it worked perfectly.
The unit is much quieter than I expected at low and high speeds, especially compared to a typical whole house attic fan.
My space only required a CL-2250, but I decided to go one size larger just to make sure. I was very happy with my decision, but maybe should have gone two sizes larger and use the low switch more often. Do not be afraid to oversize.

I've used the whole house fan CL-5400 every night since installation a couple weeks ago. As soon as the outside air is cooler than the interior, I turn the fan on and open a couple windows upstairs. I instantly have a nice breeze pulling in to the 3100 sq ft house, cooling off the upstairs.

Quieter Than Expected
I thought it would be louder. The app makes it's own WiFi signal which is a bit of a pain to switch back and forth. Quality seems good.

Love It!
I was hesitant to put in a whole house fan, because the one in my previous house was effective but really loud. Quiet Cool lives up to its name. It is so quiet, I don't have to turn up the volume on the TV. It works great too, pulling in the cool night air. I have a 1400 sq ft ranch house in Colorado and it cools off quickly. I'm so glad I didn't opt for air conditioning, saving a lot of $$.

Well Designed Product With Excellent Instructions
At first I thought the price was a bit steep but with this you get what you pay for. Very high quality construction with quality materials, resulting in easy installation, high performance and a pretty quiet fan. Took me about 4 hours to install and most of that time was wiring difficulties. eComfort also made for an easy transaction, had it all in stock and shipped quickly. I don't know how anyone lived in this old house we just moved into without one of these fans, but I'm really glad we've got one now.

The whole house fan came on time, well packaged, and relatively easy to disassemble in order for us to get it into our attic. I am pleased with how quiet it is and how effective it is in cooling our house down in the evening.
Pros:Quiet, I'd Buy It Again, Easy To Use, Light Weight

"I was very pleased with eComfort's response to a problem that arose when we realised that we had ordered a one gang outlet when we needed a two gang outlet. eConfort simply sent us the needed gang at no extra cost, arriving in days from our phone call. Thank you, eComfort for that courtesy."
We love it! It was easy to install. Love how quite it is. It just sounds like a fan is on in the other room.
Pros:Quiet, Easy To Use, Light Weight, Reliable

Very Quiet
This fan is so much quieter than my old unit. It's quieter than my air conditioning forced air unit. I really like the damper unit. It has a very good seal so when the fan is off I can't feel any heat coming from the attic. I was skeptical at first about paying this mush for a fan but now that I have it I think it is worth the money.

Nice But Under Powered
I have had other fans and find that this seems a bit under powered for 2300 CFM. I would recommend going with a bigger size than the recommended.
