Discover What Our fans Are Saying

I had a very positive experience with Bay Area Whole House Fan. They responded quickly to my request for a quote, did the estimate process over the phone (which does require you to stick your head in your attic and snap photos, plus a few other locations). From first contact to install was only two weeks - granted, it's January during Covid but that was super fast service.

The installation team was great, and Brian, who led the install, was the best. From beginning to end, Naomi, Mike, Tawny, Brian and their crew were completely professional and responsive....

I set up the appointment with Tawny, she answered all my questions and was really great to work with. Mike did the virtual assessment, he was very detailed and even educated me along the way!

I had to reschedule several times because of the recent wildfires; they were very understanding and accomodated my concerns. When it came time for the install, Brian and Vic explained how the install would go, and did a great job. Brian took the time to point out some other things that I should fix, and it wasn't stuff that WHF does, so he really was just taking the time to share his expert opinion, which was much appreciated...

I should have had my whole house fan installed before our heatwave this summer - it makes a huge difference. Follow the directions on how to use and how wide your windows should be and it will cool your house.

Most highly recommended. These guys are GOOD and their products are too. And, given my recent fan service, they are very careful to protect their customers from the Corona virus, and we appreciated that a lot.

This updates a review that we submitted in late Summer, 2019. Their initial installation was superbly done and included removing a decrepit, nasty old ceiling fan, framing in the existing ceiling opening to fit the smaller opening for the new fan, clearing attic vents under the eaves to meet required attic venting...

Jacob and his team did a great job. We love our whole house fan! It had made a big difference living in an older home with no AC. I knew they worked because I had a whf years ago but I thought Jacob was exaggerating when he said the floor would be cold in the morning. This is not an exaggeration! Thank you!

My experience with Bay Area WHF was an absolutely terrific one as they were professional, punctual, pleasant, and just really easy to work with. They were timely and on top of every communication channel (email, phone calls) and the work was done very well. Everyone who we spoke with was kind, friendly, very knowledgable, and just an overall great team there. We are extremely happy to have a house fan because we can cool down the house in the evenings with the fresh cool outside air and not have to run the AC. Very happy with the installation and extremely happy to have found BAWHF to do the work. Thanks!

It looks like global warming is going to be a thing! It was 110° in my downtown los Gatos apartment on May 26, 2020. I searched for a hard to find Solution and took a stab at finding it within a local business. Tawny Answered the call during this pandemic and answered all of the questions I didn't even know I had. When I couldn't arrive for the narrow window of pick up due to sheltering in place, Tawny went above and beyond in helping me to find a way that could work with my difficult schedule. I strongly recommend this business in Campbell!

Bay Area WHF installed a QuietCool WHF, 3 Return Air Pathways and added 3 new vents. I decided to contract with Bay Area WHF because they took the time to ensure the proposed system and venting were optimal for our home/needs. When they arrived they were very Covid 19 responsible (actually taping up a plastic sheet barrier between where they were working and where my son and I were doing online schoolwork). The work was done well and professionally. The owner, Jacob, stopped by a couple of times to check on how the work was going. I was impressed to see him at the end of the day also helping to clean up, which they also did well.

We have a 2-story house with 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor and 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor bedrooms would get so hot and stuffy in the summer months that my daughter could not sleep in her own bedroom during the hottest times of the year.

When I looked into replacing the central AC unit, the technician told me he would need to set up a dual climate zone to get the 2nd floor bedrooms as cool as the rest of the house and that it would cost $17K+. Then I found Bay Area Whole House Fans and got a consultation from Jacob. Everything he said made complete sense to me. He recommended installing a fan upstairs to move fresh air throughout the 2nd floor...

I liked that the business is focused on fans and that it is not just a side business for an HVAC company. Jacob, the owner has all the right credentials to do the work needed including electrical in case any wiring needs to be done.

We also found that because the fan moves so much more air than the AC, the rooms cooled down much faster. So not only was the power consumption less, but the amount of time we had to run the fan was also lower.

Then there is the comfort level. The cool breezes from outside just feel so much better than air conditioned air...

Jacob and his team installed my whole house fan in July. It is the best home improvement I have done in the last 10 years. Can't believe I did not do this sooner. Jacob was punctual, professional, and very thorough. I have been using my WHF on cooler evenings and could not be happier. Thank you Jacob for helping get the cool air in and not relying on the air conditioner any longer.

My two-story house gets really stuffy when it is warm out, and when the temperature drops, no number of box fans, ceiling fans, window fans, etc. can ever get the indoor temperature close to the outdoor. I did a bunch of research on whole house fans, and how they were ideal for a climate like the Bay Area.

Jacob and his team came out to do the install, and they were punctual, efficient and cleaned up everything. Jacob took the time to go over operation and we walked around the house to try different window configurations to optimize airflow...

We had a very old whole house fan (WHF) which was very loud (sounded like a helicopter taking off) and vibrated the rooms around it. We decided to replace it and called three company's in the South Bay.

We chose Bay Area WHF because they were very professional, courteous, prompt and listened to our needs. From the first phone call to in-house inspection to decision and finally installation Bay Area WHF team were outstanding to work with.

Jacob and his team were outstanding during the installation process - they laid down protective cloth on the floor, Jacob reviewed with me what they were going to do...

It's been a week past since the install and I've had a few hot days to try out the fan. I can honestly say the fan works great. I turn on the fan around 7pm when the back side of my house is cool. I just turn the fan on half speed and open a few windows. I feel the breeze immediately and about 15 to 30 minutes the house is really cool. Before when I only had AC, the bedroom facing west always stays warm unless I run AC all night. Now it's so cool when I go to sleep.

This is my first house fan and it was a great experience working with Bay Area Whole House Fans. From the scheduling, estimate and install, they were pleasant and professional. The technicians cleaned up after the install and left the home clean.

This house fan has now taken over as the unit to cool my house at night time. You get a nice breeze from the windows and the noise level is very low; softer than a standing fan.

If you're hesitant on getting one, give them a call. You won't be disappointed.

I purposely waited to write a review so I could honestly say what I think about Bay Area Whole House Fans. Well today is the Day as we have had some Heat in the Bay Area! I am SO glad I had these installed in our two Duplexes!! WOW What a good job! No more dreading Summer Heat! It is every bit as good if not better than A/C

I want to say a special word about the CEO Jacob Knight. He made sure the installation was done correctly..no detail left off. If you are sweltering in a hot Unit you can fix it with One of These Great Fans.

He even brought me a bag of Oranges from his Orchard..now what more can I say!

Very good company with reliable, quality work. The owner Jacob, & office manage Naomi are very friendly & wonderful people. The workers who came with Jacob to install the unit were trained not only to do a good job, but also to be professional, and greet & treat the home owners with respect. Jacob makes sure all the safety measures (that the other companies may miss or neglect to perform) are taken care of during the installation . I really recommend this company!

Jacob went above and beyond to make sure we have great flow in our home. He is definitely an expert not only in the house fans but also with the venting required in the attic. They get very busy in the summer months, so I recommend giving yourself plenty of time and have a little patience with the whole process. It's worth it for the quality of work!

Jacob at Bay Area Whole House Fan installed a Quite Cool whole house fan last spring and I have been very pleased. He did a great job and I am really glad he suggested that I look into whole house fans. Being from the east coast I had never heard of them until Jacob suggested it. If you have not seen the marketing material, the whole house fan works by installing a ducted fan in the attic that pulls the warmer air from the inside of the house through a vent in the ceiling - and replaces that warm air in the house with the cooler outside air coming through open windows. Obviously it's only effective when the outside temp starts to decline around the early evening...

I am very happy with the installation and performance of my whole house, bathroom, and attic fans. Jacob and his helper were on time, efficient, and neat. I highly recommend Bay Area Whole Hose Fans.

These guys did a great job installing our whole house fan. We were impressed right from the start with their knowledge, thoroughness and professionalism in guiding us through the process. Now our house cools down quickly and economically compared to the high cost of A/C. The fan is very quiet and can run all night without disturbing our sleep. We love the fresh breeze that gently flows through the house. Many thanks to Naomi, Mike, Brian and Victor for their expertise and well-coordinated work force. We highly recommend Bay Area Whole House Fans.

We had a great experience with Bay Area Whole House Fan company. Jacob was great to work with- punctual, courteous and knowledgable. We installed the Quiet Cool and absolutely love it. My teenage son said it was the BEST THING we ever bought. We haven't had to run our A/C this summer. We put the WHF on at night and wake up to a house in the low seventies and sometimes it even dips into the sixties. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.

We had a whole house fan installed recently by Bay Area WHF, Inc. We love the fan. It really is amazing. What is more amazing is the job that Tawny and Jacob of Bay Area WHF did. They responded to emails and phone calls quickly. When Jacob said he would be at our house at a particular time for the installation, he was right on time. The area where the installed the fan was cleaner than it was before the fan was installed. They love their products and it shows. If you don't want to suffer through another summer in a hot house, I highly recommend using Bay Area WHF.
