QuietCool QC 1000 Installation Manual - Helpful Tips!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool system!
System operating instructions
One or more QuietCool’s can be used to ventilate your home at any time of the year. The following general instructions
will concentrate on summertime cooling.
Anytime of day that it feels cooler outside than inside your home, the system will work effectively. In the summer, this
normally happens in the late afternoon to early evening, through to the next morning.
We recommend you start by cooling the area where you are going to be spending the most time for the next few hours. In
other words, create the coolest breeze where you are going to be. For example, in most family situations, the early evening is
spent in the kitchen / family room area. Assuming this to be true, this is where you would start.
Begin by opening a window or two in the area you are going to be spending your time and turn on all of your QuietCool’s at
once, for maximum cooling. The cooler air outside will immediately begin to create a breeze. Opening windows too wide or
opening too many windows will lesson the cooling breeze you feel.
The breeze will flow through your home and make its way to each QuietCool you have in operation. This breeze will be
felt in the entire path, and will begin to cool the whole house. At the same time, the air brought in will be sent to the attic.
This action will flush the very hot air out through the venting. When hot air is allowed to remain in your attic, it keeps your
home hot even though it has cooled down outside. Removing the hot air and replacing it with cool air allows your home
to cool off dramatically.
As it gets later in the evening, and even cooler outside, you can begin to open windows in other rooms of your home. Then
at bedtime, you should close all the windows except in the occupied bedrooms. This will provide each room with a cool
breeze as long as desired. If you have a QuietCool installed in each bedroom as recommended, you can enjoy the breeze and
your privacy with your door closed.
We should also stress the values of ventilating your home on a regular basis. Many private and government studies show
that the air inside our homes is more polluted than the air outside. This is generally true even in industrial cities. Your
QuietCool system can greatly reduce this problem by bringing in fresh air and exhausting stale polluted air all year round.
In cooler months, you can provide sufficient ventilation by operating one QC1500 daily for short periods of time without
significantly cooling your home. The system can also be helpful in eliminating pet odors, burned food smells and smoke.
OPEN WINDOW OR DOOR PRIOR TO TURNING ON SYSTEM (May pull ashes from fire place)

VERY IMPORTANT!
WHEN TO RUN FANS
WHERE TO START
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Don’t run fans when it is hot outside!
Cool house in morning and close all windows during mid-day.
Open only a few windows at first when its starting to cool down in the afternoon or evening
then later open more windows.
Close window shades and blinds during mid day to prevent sun from heating up home as quickly.
In wintertime you may turn on the system at the warmest time of the day and bring in fresh
warmer air to heat the home.
