For
homes up to 2500 sq. ft. the AirScape 1.7 is the most advanced whole
house fan on the market, with an unbeatable combination of high power,
low noise, energy efficiency and robust engineering. This unique design
delivers 1700 CFM on high speed to cool your house down fast. On low speed, you get 1000 CFM of whisper-quiet airflow; so you can sleep in cool, fresh, quiet
comfort, while your house is cooled all through the night to reduce
heat load the next day.
Key Features

High power, low noise
The AirScape 1.7 uses four quiet, energy-efficient, high-precision fans that operate at a moderate RPM. A competitive unit uses just 2 fans, which need to operate at higher RPM to create the same airflow. Of course, higher RPMs mean more noise.
Plus, the unique door design on the 1.7 delivers extra noise dampening
through careful sound-wave management and soft fiberglass insulation.
The end result is less noise, without sacrificing CFM.
The AirScape whole house fan has been selected for the San Francisco Sunset Idea Home, one of the first LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certified remodels in the country.
Two-speed operation

At high-speed, you get class-leading 1700 CFM to cool your house down fast. At low speed, our unique design provides 1000 CFM of whisper-quiet flow for night-time operation and is controlled via a wall-mounted switch (included).
Outstanding energy efficiency
Even
on high speed, the AirScape 1.7 uses just 140 watts of power — a light
bulb or two worth; and a small fraction of the energy used by an A/C
compressor. If you are comparison shopping, you’ll see that the 1.7
uses significantly less power than competitive whole house fans in
terms of CFM/Watt. The AirScape whole house
fan qualifies for rebates in a growing number of states and
municipalities.
Automatic insulating doors

A
key drawback with traditional whole house fans was air leakage between
the attic and living spaces. This could result in dirty attic air
entering your home, and, in cold climates, warm, and moist indoor air
entering the attic and causing water damage through condensation.
Properly installed, the AirScape 1.7 takes care of this problem with
automatic, insulated doors that seal tight when the fan is not in use.
The door tolerances are machined to an incredible one five-thousandth
of an inch, and are operated by a commercial-grade actuator that seals
against an automotive-grade gasket. So attic air NEVER leaks into your living space, and warm air never condenses in your attic. And you can just relax and not think about it.

Premium Cube Core grill
The
AirScape 1.7 comes with a premium high-flow grill that minimizes air
movement noise through the grill. These high-performance grills look
great too, so your system looks as unobtrusive as it sounds.
Easy installation
With
an exceptionally small footprint, the AirScape 1.7 mounts between
standard joists, either 16-inch or 24-inch centers using pre-drilled
tabs. It is specifically designed to fit through its own mounting hole,
so no other attic access is required. Equipped with a standard plug and
an available remote control, the unit can be installed with plug and
play simplicity.
Installs in tandem for larger homes
If your home is over 2500 sq ft, you should consider our new 3000 CFM AirScape 3.0. However, another option is installing two AirScape 1.7s wired to run in tandem, for 3400 CFM of total ventilating power.
Heavy-duty construction
AirScape
fans are robustly engineered for many years of dependable service. They
are built in North America using all-metal construction, high-quality
precision fan units, and heavy-duty industrial door actuators.
Maintenance-free operation
The
AirScape 1.7 uses four precision computer-room fan units, which are
sealed and never require lubrication. The only other moving part is the
heavy-duty door actuator which is also maintenance-free. All mechanical
parts are accessible and can be serviced or replaced without removing
the entire unit.
3-year warranty backed by professional support
Not
only are the units guaranteed for 3 years, but they’re backed by our
professional technical support. If you have a problem with your unit —
or just a question — you’ll get prompt, knowledgeable responses from
real engineers. Guaranteed.
Wireless remote option
Makes installation even easier with no wiring to run to the switch. Nice to have for convenient operation too!
