QA-Deluxe 6500 Includes Plug & Play Wireless 2-Speed Remote Control with Timer | R5 Insulated Damper | Energy Efficient Whole House Fan | For 2-Story Homes to 4400 sqft & 1-Story to 3000 sqft

Install was very simple and straight forward. It took my father in law and me about 1.5hrs and that includes beer breaks since the attic was about 130°. It’s very efficient at cooling the house. Just need to learn which windows need to be open to efficiently cool it. We have a 2200ft2 single story and if it’s 10° cooler outside it drops the inside temp within 30-45min by 5-7°.My only complaint is the remote. On would think after spending $1500 on a system the remote would be a sturdy well built responsive remote. This remote works but it is not responsive at all. No backlighting on the buttons and the backlighting on the lcd doesn’t stay on nearly long enough. It also has a pet in it that rattles when I shake the remote. It didn’t have the battery pull tab in it as the instructions said it would but it works. It gets the job done and my only dock on this system is the remote. Feels like one fall to the tile floor and it’ll shatter like glass.

For many years, I mostly cooled my home by using window fans on exhaust mode in windows of a room on my upper floor. The downsides of this were that all heat from the home got drawn into that room, it would take all night to cool the house down and they were unattractive and loud.I decided on the 6500 model even though the slightly cheaper 5500 model was rated as sufficient for my home. I figured for the extra expense and work required, better to go with the more powerful model.The installation was straightforward, but a little complicated not because of the product, but the complexity of my attic. Thankfully the remote control and the fact that I just had to plug it into an outlet helped to not add additional complexity and it only took me four hours start to finish.The fan is a bit loud upstairs on high speed, however it is able to cool the house down so quickly in the evening, while we are still downstairs (where the sound is imperceptible) that I'll turn it to low speed long before retiring upstairs.Even on low speed, the breeze from every open window in the house, even those very far from the vent us quite impressive and I'm very happy to have gotten this fan installed before the very hot summer to come.I suspect our air conditioner will see far less action this summer seeing as how l quickly and effectively this fan has been able to cool our home.

Drops the temp in my house in a matter of minutes. Installation was easy. Watch the videos online and go for it.

It has only been a week since I installed the fan and it works as expected. It replaced an old fan that was much more powerful but much louder. Installation was as expected with only two minor issues. The first issue was that they collapsible tubing is directional so it is supposed to be installed in a specific way. There is a label on the tube letting the installer know the correct direction, but there is no mention of this in the directions that I read. The second issue was regarding the remote control sensor. The directions did not provide any information as to where the sensor should be installed. I installed it in the attic and it works fine, so I hope it is not overly heat sensitive or it will not last up there. Otherwise, the fan is precisely as advertised and currently is working very well.

I read tons of reviews of how much people love their whole house fans and have contemplated it for a few years because the cost was kind of high. I finally but the bullet this year and purchased one plenty large for my house. I got it installed this week and, granted, it’s only been a few days but I’m not overly impressed. I can feel the air flow in the hallway that it’s installed in but that end of my house is typically considerably cooler than the rest of my house and now it seems like some of the ultra hot air from my attic is coming into the once cool end of my house. I’m a little disappointed having spent $1,200 and not really seeing much of a difference.

Must have some knowledge of electrical to complete install. I did not like the brackets provided to install.. I framed the opening and installed the fan. Took longer to install but the fan works properly.

It’s so quiet. Our house is just over 3,000 square feet with master bedroom upstairs. We have it in the furthest room away from master bedroom, and works like a charm!! I wish it was WiFi Bluetooth capability. The remote sometimes I feel like I have to push it hard to get it to read my finger push... but other than that. We love it! Worth the $$$ spent!

I’ve been using a Home Depot special for the last 20 years, although it’s done it’s job it takes all night to cool my 2 story house down. With this new unit it does it in half the time and I can hardly hear it. Love the remote control no more running upstairs to turn on.
