    does anyone have a recommendation of a contractor to install one? Mark Williams is retired (sadly) which is who i used for my last project.

    We have a QuietCool whole house fan and love it. It’s very quiet. I think you will need a roof fan but I’m not sure about snow loads on your roof. There’s some info on the QuietCcol website.

    We installed three venting skylights earlier this year combined with ceiling fans does the job really well. It was expensive but well worth it.

    I also have a whole house fan at my primary residence, they are great. A couple of ideas…you could install one or more small whole house fans on the gable ends of your cabin. Also you could install a fan within a skylight that could be opened when you needed to ventilate. I have seen an opening cut in the ceiling, creating a flat surface on the roof, installing the fan with a cap. One thing for sure, not going to be as easy as installation with an attic.

    does anyone here have a whole house fan (exhaust fan) in a house with no attic? we have one in our house in the city but it has an attic. i didn’t know if the snow would mess with one if i were to cut a hole in the ceiling.. they work so well i’m hoping someone has one.
