Project Ideas
Business
Whole-House Fan Installation & Retrofit Service
Offer a turnkey service: attic vent assessment (ensure the required ~1.97 sq ft net free venting), install the QC CL-1500, cut the minimal 14" x 14" opening, set up the wireless RF glass switch, and seal/insulate the damper box. Include education on when to run the fan, window placement for proper cross-ventilation, and a seasonal maintenance package. Market to homeowners wanting lower cooling bills and to older homes without central AC upgrades.
Custom Grille Design & Upsell Package
Create a premium add-on business making custom decorative grilles and medallions sized to the fan’s removable grille. Offer design options (reclaimed wood, powder-coated metal, CNC patterns) that maintain airflow. Bundle grille design, installation, and color-matching with the fan purchase or retrofit job to increase average ticket price and appeal to style-conscious customers.
Energy-Savings Consulting & Hybrid Cooling Plans
Package whole-house fan installations into an energy-efficiency consulting service: run home cooling-use audits, model savings compared to AC-only strategies, and propose hybrid schedules (fan at night/mornings, AC during peak humidity). Offer financing, seasonal tune-ups, and programmable/remote controls (smart home integration) as premium options. Target eco-minded homeowners and landlords wanting lower utility bills.
Small-Farm & Urban-Grow Ventilation Service
Market to urban farmers, small greenhouses, and hobby growers: consult on integrating whole-house fans for rapid air exchange in outbuildings or hoop houses, ensure proper venting and humidity control, and supply window/vent lock hardware and dampers tuned for plant needs. Provide installation plus seasonal calibration to protect crops from heat spikes, positioning the service as an affordable climate-control alternative.
Creative
Custom Decorative Ceiling Medallion & Grille Art
Turn the removable 14" x 14" grille into a focal point. Build a lightweight decorative medallion or laser-cut metal/wood face that snaps onto the factory grille (or attaches magnetically). Design patterns that keep at least 70–80% open area so the 1,472 CFM performance isn’t compromised. Finish with stain or powder-coat for a high-end look. Sell or gift as a functional art piece that hides the fan while preserving airflow and access for maintenance.
Seasonal Insulated Cover with Integrated Storage
Use the R‑5 damper box feature as inspiration for a removable, insulated ceiling insert for winter that doubles as shallow attic access/storage. Craft a lightweight insulated panel that fits into the grille opening to reduce heat loss when the fan is not in use, then design a slim, hinged storage pocket around it for seasonal items (maps, keys, seasonal bulbs). Keeps attic warmth in during winter and looks finished from below.
Quiet Backyard Movie / Workshop Venting System
Adapt the fan as a dedicated exhaust system for an enclosed backyard movie cabana or woodworking shed by mounting it in an attic/roof space above the structure (observing venting requirements). Use it to rapidly exchange hot air after events or heavy tool use. Combine with decorative ceiling treatment and the included wireless glass switch to control run time discreetly. Great for DIY backyard builders wanting comfortable, quick ventilation without full HVAC.
Small Greenhouse / Sunroom Thermal Flusher
Use the whole-house fan to quickly purge trapped heat from an attached sunroom or small greenhouse by creating a sealed pathway into the attic exhaust (requires proper venting and weatherproofing). During hot afternoons, run the fan (open windows/vents where the fresh air will be drawn) for rapid temperature drops; the damper box reduces heat transfer when idle. Add simple louvers and window locks for safety and optimized airflow.
