How is a whole house fan different from an attic fan?

A whole house fan pulls cool air into your home through open windows and pushes hot air out through the attic. An attic fan only removes heat from the attic itself. While both improve ventilation, a whole house fan cools your entire living space much more directly and quickly.

Can a whole house fan replace my air conditioner?

It can’t fully replace an AC system in hot, humid climates like Atlanta’s—but it can drastically reduce how often you need to use it. Whole house fans are most effective during cooler mornings and evenings. Many homeowners use them to pre-cool the house or flush out trapped heat before switching on the AC.

How loud are whole house fans?

Modern fans are much quieter than older models thanks to improved motor designs and insulated housings. We install fans with noise-dampening features and balanced mounting to keep operation smooth and whisper-quiet. If noise is a concern, we offer specific models designed for near-silent performance.

Will a whole house fan make my attic too hot or humid?

Not if it’s installed correctly with proper venting. Part of our process includes evaluating your attic’s airflow and making sure hot air has a clear exit path. When paired with adequate ventilation, a whole house fan can actually help lower attic temperatures and reduce humidity buildup.

Cooling your home shouldn’t always mean turning up the air conditioning. A whole house fan pulls in fresh outdoor air through your windows and pushes hot, stale air out through the attic—creating a natural breeze that cools your entire home in minutes. At R.S. Andrews, we install high-performance whole house fans for Atlanta homeowners who want a quieter, more energy-efficient way to stay comfortable. Our team ensures each system is properly sized, safely wired, and sealed to perform at its best. It’s an ideal solution for early mornings, mild evenings, or anyone looking to give their AC a well-earned break.

How to Know If a Whole House Fan Is Right for You

Whole house fans aren’t just for older homes—they’re a smart, energy-saving solution for anyone looking to cool down quickly without overworking the AC. If any of the situations below sound familiar, this could be the upgrade your home needs:

You open your windows in the morning or evening to cool off: A whole house fan supercharges that airflow and refreshes your entire home.
Your energy bills spike every summer: Using a fan instead of AC during mild weather can significantly cut cooling costs.
Your attic gets unbearably hot: Removing heat from the attic helps cool your living space faster and protects your roof and insulation.
You want to reduce indoor humidity: These fans help pull moisture out of the air, especially after cooking or showering.
You like fresh air but don’t want to run the AC: Enjoy outdoor air circulation without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Your HVAC system struggles to keep up: Adding a whole house fan can ease the load and extend your AC’s lifespan.

Our Whole House Fan Services

Whole House Fan Installation

We install high-efficiency whole house fans that are quiet, powerful, and built to keep your home cooler without overusing your HVAC system. Each fan is sized based on your home’s layout, ceiling height, and ventilation needs. Our team handles the full process—from attic prep to wiring—so everything runs smoothly from day one.

Fan Replacement & Upgrades

If your existing fan is loud, ineffective, or out of date, we can recommend a modern replacement with better airflow and noise control. New models use advanced motor technology and insulated shutters for improved performance. We’ll remove the old system and retrofit the new fan with minimal disruption to your home.

Attic Venting & Airflow Evaluation

A whole house fan needs proper attic ventilation to perform effectively and avoid backpressure. We evaluate your attic’s airflow and make any necessary upgrades, like adding roof vents or gable fans. This ensures your fan works efficiently and safely, even in Atlanta’s peak summer heat.

Smart Fan & Timer Controls

We install wall-mounted controls, digital timers, and smart switches so you can run your fan at the right times with ease. Some systems can be paired with temperature or humidity sensors for hands-free efficiency. Our electricians wire everything cleanly and test the controls before leaving.

Soundproofing & Seal Kits

Don’t want a loud fan echoing through your home? We offer insulated housings and noise-reduction upgrades that keep operation whisper-quiet. Our team also installs airtight shutters to seal the system when it’s not in use, preventing drafts in winter.

Why Homeowners Choose Us

A whole house fan might seem like a simple upgrade, but getting the best results takes experience, precision, and a team that knows how to work with your home’s unique layout. At R.S. Andrews, we install every system like it’s our own—quiet, secure, and built to last through the Georgia heat. We don’t just install the fan and walk away; we make sure your attic can handle the airflow, your wiring is safe, and your comfort improves right away. It’s all about doing it right the first time—and making it easy for you.

We size it right the first time: No guesswork—just smart recommendations based on airflow needs, not just square footage.
We make quiet cool possible: From soundproofing to balanced installation, we make sure your fan doesn’t roar through the house.
We think beyond the fan: Proper venting, control wiring, and insulation are part of every install—not expensive add-ons.
Our team respects your home: Drop cloths, clean finishes, and no mess left behind—we treat every attic and hallway with care.

Very good job! But charging me $413 for less than two hours of inspections and some work seems pretty high. I should have listened to my wife to get several estimates first.

RS Andrews is an Atlanta institution and continues to be an excellent service.provider. After our kitchen sink clogged, two handymen failed to show up. On the 6th day I called RS Andrews and they arrived promptly the next morning. The gentleman arrived worked diligently, explaining to me, each step of his work, and what he had found, discovered that he needed a additional tool, and instead of leaving, he called another Service technician to bring the tool and join him. The sink clog was severe, and the two of them worked for several hours, until it was finally resolved. Both young men were pleasant, manly, did not speak on their cell phone and a loud voice while they were in the house, they were intrusive. They were considerate of me when I was on the phone and most importantly, they did not abandon the job because they needed another tool. I believe that they will both be fine businessman, and they were wonderful in their performance. I would not hesitate to use them again. My husband had scheduled the handyman, thinking it would be less expensive. Lesson I wish I had learned in my teenage years instead of in my 30s is that one is merely Pennywise and pound foolish to Attempt To Find inexpensive labor or paint offense when time is precious and in the end, you spend more trying to get the work done, buying the materials, etc. RS Andrews is a good value. Time is all that we have, once spent it can never be recovered. The real cost of services is time, dollars, solutions and whether the work lasts.

Update Friday 01/23/26: After going with Paul’s recommendation to replace 2 parts above the water heater tank, it seems like it is not leaking anymore in the drip pan! Gave it 24hours to see if the pan was dry, and it is! Greatful for Paul’s expertise and saving us $$$ to not replace the entire unit yet. We will monitor it for another few days. Thanks again, Paul! Paul was very knowledgeable and gave his expert advice on our water heater issue. We are going with his recommendation to replace 2 parts instead of the whole water heater. I am confident that he is right. Thanks Paul and see you in the morning for completion!

For further assistance he referred us to a company who specializes in water damage repair etc. Chris followed up with a phone call to inquire how we were progressing with our problem. We appreciate his concern and his experience in these matters. Thank you, Chris! Michael
