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.

Michael Powell approached issues systematically, carefully analyzing symptoms and collaborating with me to identify causes. He had a knack for explaining complex technical concepts in simple, understandable terms. When he left, I felt more confident and better prepared to manage my system, having gained a clearer understanding of how it works through his cooperative and patient approach.

* changing my review Nick was outstanding

After having a pretty bad experience with a previous RS Andrew’s tech (see below) I will say that working with Nick was refreshing. He kept me posted the entire time during the work process. He was extremely clear in his communication and apologetic for the behavior of the other tech (not something he needed to apologize for). He stayed to make sure that everything worked as it should prior to leaving and was extremely thoughtful and polite in the way he communicated to me and helped me arrive at a decision. I could not have asked for a better technician and am extremely grateful for his professionalism and his outstanding work.

Old review…
Second time I have had this issue despite having the service plan and having had spent nearly a grand when it was a supposed heat pump talking to panel issue and had to have whole new panel installed on a new HVAC system. Now that winter has come back around after my Winter Service my heat began running all the time. Today’s technician could not explain to me why when I set my heat on 65 it would continue to run even when it got to above 65. He thought he fixed it yet I alerted it to him that the system has once again reset once he had worked on the unit outside and was ready to walk out the door. I now am awaiting a call from RS Andrews for another technician (no 2nd tech fee at least) just an electric bill that is 3 times its normal rate and a house that keeps trying to heat and no clear explanation. Technician was extremely polite but concerned about service needs especially given what I have paid. However I came to learn that the technician did not note that someone needed to come back out. No one called me. I called and there are no notes. They can not get a hold of the technician after I called for the second time.
