The pull chain switch in my whole house attic fan broke and I ended up replacing it on a fairly hot day. While working on it I could not believe the heat coming down through the ceiling grate for the fan. I got online to look for an economical and easy solution. What’s a whole house attic fan? In case you’re not familiar, this fan is mounted on the ceiling joists in the attic after a hole has been cut out of the ceiling drywall. An aluminum grate is then installed on the ceiling side. The grate has louvers that … Read more...

Jack Hébert, the founder of the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, is credited with a phrase that’s becoming increasingly familiar to high-performance builders: “Build tight, ventilate right.” It means that as houses get tighter and better insulated, the need for well-designed mechanical ventilation gets more compelling. At its simplest, this means using kitchen and bathroom […]

The QuietCool ES-6000 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. The process of thoroughly cooling the home and attic is called thermal mass cooling. 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 fan uses a unique, patented design that uses an acoustical duct attached to an R5 damper box. The result is almost zero noise vibration and whisper quiet operation. It also uses the innovative ECM energy saver motor that uses hardly any power while moving extreme amounts of air. Designed to be installed centrally in midsize homes. Simply open a window when you get home from work, flip on the QuietCool and enjoy a peaceful and cool evening relaxing."}},"base-catalog-313269615":{"__typename":"BaseProduct QuietCool advanced whole house fans use and improve upon the principle of ventilation cooling with savings of up to 50-90% off traditional cooling methods such as A/C 5.6 sq. ft. of net free attic venting required for proper ventilation Cools and ventilates homes up to 2098 sq. ft. for optimum performance Fan motor head hangs from the rafters in the attic with a small ceiling cut-out for the air intake grille (14 in. x 30 in. ceiling cut-out) Moves air at a rate of 4195 CFM on high and 2304 CFM on low 415-Watt ECM motor on high and 75-Watts on low ensures extremely energy efficient operation and superior airflow QuietCool 8-hour countdown timer and 2-speed control switch sold separately Installation is simple with a typical 1 to 2-hour install time with no framing or joist-cutting required (fits 16 or 24 on-center) R5 damper box at the ceiling level helps insulate the home from the attic during the cold times of the year when the fan is off HVI-916 airflow rate for California: 3080 CFM

Details Our Berties come in three sizes: Current height (including pot) & spread: 5-10cm x 5-10cm Current height (including pot) & spread: 25-30cm x 25-30cm Current height (including pot) & spread : 60cm x 60cm Please note that our tiny boston ferns come in a variety of different shapes - each with their own unique ferny green hairdo. If you are purchasing one of our cement pots you will need to take tiny Bertie out of her nursery pot, otherwise you can leave her in. Our largest Bertie fits perfectly in our new 25cm plant stand! Likes Though Bertie is happiest in a shady spot in a brightly-lit room, she is fairly adaptable so won't mind a slightly brighter or shadier spot. Dislikes Bertie is not a fan of a dry atmosphere so try to keep her away from radiators and keep her well watered - a bathroom or kitchen is ideal. Health benefits Bertie helps to remove the toxic air pollutant, formaldehyde, commonly found in consumer products. Looking after this plant Try to keep Bertie's soil moist at all times by watering 1-2 times per week approximately, when the top soil feels dry. Alternatively you should mist your boston fern with our plant mister once or twice a week to help your fern get the humidity she needs. There's no need to go overboard with the fertiliser however Bertie would appreciate this liquid fertilizer being applied twice during the whole growning season (April to September). Going the extra mile To help improve Bertie's verdant green, add 1 tablespoon of epsom salt to 3 litres of water and on the soil during active growth. This can be done twice at the end and the beggining of the growing season. Never spray directly onto the foliage as this could burn the leaves. Living with pets and children Bertie will cause no harm to pets and children.
Furniture in our homes is what creates the feeling you get in a space, it elevates the comfort factor and it is usually the focal point of the whole room. Most of us would agree that furniture is one of our largest purchases, and one that gets the most use. For my family our furniture
