Whole House Fan Installation in Clovis, CA
From Old Town to Harlan Ranch, Clovis homes cool down fast at night. A whole house fan lets you use that instead of paying for it.
Whole House Fan Installation for Clovis Homes
Clovis sits just far enough east to catch slightly cooler overnight air coming off the foothills, which makes it excellent territory for whole house fans. Jack Surabian Electric installs them across Clovis, from the older bungalows near Old Town to the newer two-story tracts around Harlan Ranch, Loma Vista, and Clovis North.
A whole house fan is not an air conditioner and does not replace one. It is a ventilation appliance. Once the evening air is cooler than the air in your house, the fan exchanges the entire volume of your home in minutes and dumps the day's accumulated attic heat out through the roof vents.
For the larger two-story Clovis homes built in the last twenty-five years, the upstairs heat problem is the main driver. Hot air stacks up on the second floor, and the AC struggles to pull it back down. A correctly placed whole house fan clears the upper level first, which is exactly where it matters.

Sizing, Venting, and Wiring in Clovis Homes
We measure the conditioned area and target roughly two to three air changes per hour. For a typical 2,400 square foot Clovis two-story that usually lands in the 4,500 to 6,000 CFM range, though ceiling height and layout shift the number.
Then we check the attic. A fan without enough exhaust venting will pressurize the attic and lose most of its performance. We calculate net free vent area and add venting where the attic falls short of what the fan needs.
The electrical side is straightforward when done right: a properly sized dedicated circuit, correct conductor sizing for the run, a listed control, and a disconnect where the manufacturer requires it. We label the breaker and walk you through operation before we leave.
