Cool, Fresh Air Starts Here

When the evening air cools down, a Solatube whole house fan pulls fresh outdoor air in through open windows and pushes hot, stale indoor air out through the attic vents. It is a smart way to cool your home faster, reduce AC use, and feel more comfortable during Santa Barbara’s warmer months. Solatube systems use an energy-efficient EC brushless motor, 7 variable speeds, and a remote control for quiet, customized comfort.

Why Santa Barbara Homeowners Choose Whole House Fans

Fast fresh-air cooling when outside air is cooler in the evening or early morning
Helps reduce AC use and lower summer cooling costs
Pushes out hot, stale indoor air and brings in cooler outdoor air
Quiet, energy-efficient operation with simple wall or remote control
A smart fit for Santa Barbara homes that can take advantage of cooler coastal air

Why Solatube Instead of AC

A whole house fan is not the same as air conditioning, but in the right home and climate it can cover many cooling hours with much less electricity use. DOE says whole house fans can be an energy-efficient alternative to AC in some climates, especially when outside air is cooler than the indoor temperature. Solatube systems add quiet, variable-speed control, insulated damper doors, and remote operation for better everyday comfort.

Fresh-air cooling instead of running refrigerated air all evening
7 speed settings to match comfort and energy use
Remote control for easy adjustment from anywhere in the room

Electricity Is Expensive — So Evening Cooling Choices Matter

With electricity costs staying high, reducing attic heat can help your home stay more comfortable. Solar attic fans help vent trapped heat and moisture, which may reduce the strain on your cooling system during warmer months.
