Every so often I’ll come across a company that provides great service and product that will make me communicate to others and write a note of appreciation – Ryan your company is one of those lightly sprinkled throughout the community. I have owned a “big box” whole house fan and it was very noisy and the shutters made rattling noises as well especially when shutting off the fan. However, even with that fan it made a difference in the comfort of the home. This time around we wanted a quiet fan and decided to try the more expensive one even though I was skeptical when I read product testimonials and product information. After doing several hours of research chose your product and company. I’ll say that it has exceeded my expectations for quietness and my wife was absolutely amazed. Craig did a wonderful job and we appreciate his friendliness and attention to details. I truly believe in supporting good local companies who provide the excellent service yours did. My new whole house fan is fantastic in every way – thanks again…

Ryan was the most professional, polite and personable serviceman that has ever been to my house. Ryan was upfront and honest about the process and cost of installing the whole house fan, he even dusted and vacuumed when he was done with the job.
The whole house fan has far exceeded my expectations. There has been a noticeable reduction in my electric bill from last summer! We rarely ran the air conditioning, and when we did run it, we were able to turn it off in the evening and enjoy the fresh cool summer air in the evening and at night. Prior to having the whole house fan installed, we could run the air conditioner 24/7 and the upstairs would never cool down. Now with a couple windows open, it cools down in minutes. Plus the fan is great if you burn food!

Dear Ryan,
We want to thank you for the excellent and professional installation of our Whole House Attic Fan.
It has done everything you said it would, and we could not be more pleased. Using it as you instructed, kept us comfortable through the entire summer. Also, your careful consideration to keep our floors and walls free of debris was another evidence of your doing what you said you would.
Sorry it has taken us so long to let you know of our complete satisfaction with your work and the product.
Please feel free to use us as a reference.
Sincerely,

Dear Ryan-
I am extremely pleased with my whole house attic fan from Colorado Home Cooling. The fan cools the house quickly, and is much less expensive to operate than air conditioning. I was especially pleased with your professionalism, from accurate quote to timely installation to thorough clean up to proper billing. My experience with Colorado Home Cooling far exceeded my expectations, and I would whole-heartily recommend your services to others. PS I like that the fan is an environmentally friendly cooling alternative!

Ryan, your installation work was flawless and the vents have not leaked a drop. The fan cools the house so well that the A/C does not come on until 2pm, if the outside temp is over 100 degrees! Otherwise the system is quiet and runs exactly as you advertised it would.

Ryan installed my attic fan 2 years ago and it has been wonderful to have in my tri-level that used to get too hot to sleep in my bedroom. I love it! Ryan showed me how to use it, explained how it works and the way the new roof vents help the fans efficiency When I needed the louvers adjusted he came out on a Sunday to do the adjustment so I could have them working efficiently immediately. I recommend Colorado Home Cooling to all my friends.

Dear Colorado Home Cooling,
My wife and I are very pleased with the installation and performance of our whole house fan. The install was very well engineered and has allowed us to cut way back on our air conditioning usage.

The hail storm in June, 2004 ruined my attic fan. I wasn’t going to replace it until I noticed that it was hotter in my house without it. I called Colo Home Cooling and Ryan came out the next day and installed a new fan. Now my house is cooler on hot days and I am very happy with the service I got from Colo Home Cooling.

I can recommend without qualification Colorado Home Cooling and Ryan Starr’s excellent service. He answered my initial call immediately. He communicated easily his knowledge about whole house fans and what would be best for my house. He provided me with an estimate over the phone and the names of several customers who, when I called them, spoke of his work in glowing terms. I’m happy to be added to that list. He worked efficiently-installing the fan and creating a new attic access within a day-and cheerfully managed a couple of difficulties encountered during the course of the installation in a 1929 Denver bungalow. I love the fan and I only wish that I’d had it installed years ago!
Most happily,

Ryan,
Thanks for the great job on our attic fan. Your installation was prompt and efficient. The fan has helped enormously cooling the top of our house without increasing our electric bill. You were so quick to respond to my call and your estimate was spot on. Thanks again for a great job. Feel free to use me as a reference.

We highly recommend Ryan Starr of Co Home Cooling. Ryan is very professional and did an excellent job for us. He answered all of our questions, installed a whisper-quiet fan and shutter, and cleaned up afterward.
The second story of our home gets really hot, and the A/C bills are really high. Ryan installed a Triangle belt-driven fan and Dayton shutter. The fan is quiet because it is belt-driven, unlike the motor driven fans at the big box stores. Ryan knows the best way to install the fan so it is very quiet. The fan sucks the hot air out of the second floor, then blows the hot air out of the attic. It helps tremendously and the result is we use the A/C a lot less. I dislike air-conditioned air, so the fan makes a big difference to our quality of life.
We are glad to whole-heartedly endorse Co Home Cooling after the great install Ryan did for us.

My husband and I decided to get an attic fan instead of an air conditioning system to save money since we have a ranch style house. We also enjoy having our windows open in the summer evenings to get fresh air. We had the fan installed on the hottest day of May 2005 when I was 5 months pregnant and it was ready to operate the same day. I was able to stay comfortable my entire pregnancy because of the attic fan and we have never noticed an increase in our energy bill. Thank you!

Colorado Home Cooling LLC was very pleasant to work with. Mr. Starr was clean and efficient, we never even knew he was in our home, it was such a tidy job. We have had our attic fan for two summers now. It has helped us to keep our home a lot cooler during Colorado’s hot summers. I would recommend Mr. Starr and his company, to anyone who is looking for an energy saving home cooling system. Respectfully,

We cannot say enough about the job that Colorado Home Cooling did with our attic fan. Ryan Starr was both professional and friendly, and left our house as clean as when he arrived. After enjoying our quiet new attic fan for several months, we began to hear a slight knocking sound. We called Ryan and within days he resolved this small problem. We strongly recommend Colorado Home Cooling if you are considering an attic fan.

Dear Ryan Starr,
We wish we had installed your attic fans before we installed central air. We love having our house doors and windows open in the summer and using the attic fans to bring in fresh air. Great product and great installation, very solid and quiet. I would as well as my husband would highly recommend your product. The only time we use our central air is when the temperature gets into the 100’s. Sincerely,

We had several contractors come to our home, look at the problem, then leave and never contact us again. Ryan came, developed a custom package for our provlem and did a great job installing our through-the-wall fan. It cools our house very efficiently. Great job and great service!

Colorado Home Cooling did a wonderful job on the installation. The Whole house / attic fan was installed primarily to help cool our 2nd story bedroom. It’s great to be able to turn it on after the outside temperature drops and cool the room. Prior to this we had to turn the A/C down lower so it would super cool the downstairs and the upstairs would be tolerable. I also like to turn it on in the morning so the house is extra cool and then close it up for the day.

My whole house fan made a huge difference. My first summer in this house I couldn’t sleep it was so warm. My second summer, after the fan, no problem. And since it remained cooler in the morning, the house was more comfortable through the day. I’m glad I don’t have to go to the expense of adding air conditioning or a swamp cooler. Colorado Home Cooling was very professional in the installation.

We absolutely love our whole house / attic fan! We do have air conditioning but decided to get an attic fan as well to pull in the fresh Colorado air and minimize the electricity cost of using A/C. It works great and cools off the house in a matter of minutes. Working with Colorado Home Cooling was super easy and the installation process was done very professionally.

Ryan, We love our new whole house fan. The oven of our upper level is now
pleasant and livable. It was just in time because my 92 year old father has
come to stay with us for a while. The summer heat in our upstairs bedrooms
would have been unbearable for him and actually unheatlthy. He says he is
completely comfortable all night. Thanks for coming all the way to Colorado Springs.

We love our whole house fan. Apparently, we'd been living under a broiler for the past six years. The fan has made a huge difference, especially cooling down our bedroom on the top floor so that we can sleep well. The house is cooler in the morning, never builds up the heat that we were used to, and cools down quickly in the early evening. With the additional help of a few electric fans blowing around cooler air, we were even comfortable during this last heat wave of week-long 95+ days. As an added bonus, although we smoke, the house no longer smells like it. Now, if we could just get it to suck up dog hair, too . . . . .

We are extremely pleased with the product as well as with your workmanship! The fan and vents work great and your installation and follow-up is every bit as professional as presented. We really needed the ventilation of the big fan, and the quietly created "artificial" breeze through the house is extremely pleasant! (Contrary to what your competitor told us, our hair does NOT get sucked up. Ha Ha) Thank you for providing a great product with a personal touch of integrity!

Ryan,
So far the fan is working great.
Here is what I liked about your installation/interaction etc.
1) English Speaking
2) Prompt, Friendly, Informative
3) Caulked the Nails
4) Even caulked some additional nails that were nearby one of the vents
5) Cleaned up the mess
6) Vents evenly and neatly spaced
Thanks very much. I hope that my fan experience to come is as good as it has been so far. I really appreciate your work. |

Ryan,
I wanted to let you know that your crew was efficient, professional and helpful during the fan installation yesterday. They got moving right away and provided multiple options. They made sure the attic airflow was optimal by enlarging some of the cutouts in decking between truss systems, and distributed the vents to make sure the entire attic had uniform airflow throughout.
Also, you are helped by the fact that whole house fan installation is not a primary competency among the mainstream HVAC crowd. I was much more comfortable having your crew working with your product (36" fan) than having an air conditioning/furnace expert suggest a solution. Your solution was not the cheapest available, but was the most effective and best value. I was also glad you were willing to work outside your primary operating area and bring your crew out to Colorado Springs.
We do not have air conditioning in our home, and we are content to weather our first summer with the fan alone. However, it is comforting to know that if we do opt for A/C in the future, it will be a great deal more efficient thanks to our superior verticle air flow. The fan is working great and we appreciate the quick service!
Thanks for the help,
Corey

Hi Ryan,
Just to give you some feedback, Craig was very
courteous and enthusiastic. He and Jordan did a very
good job and cleaned up after the job. They were
prompt and answered my questions.
As far as the install. I did some research and think
the Triangle fan is a very good product and better
than the others out there. The install is right where
I hoped it would be given the options. Your price was
good given the other quote I got. The mounting seems
solid in my first quick look and the fan is quiet!
Probably the only thing I'd do differently, in
hindsight, is put the 5 addtional vents on the other
side of the roofline from the existing vents. GIven
the style of vents I have and the limited space
available, the 5 additional of different style seems a
bit much all in a line together.
Anyway, thanks for what looks like a solid install of
a superior product. If it works as I expect, I'll be
sure to recommend you to my neighbors.
All The Best,
Chuck

Ryan -
This is a bit late, but I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with
the whole house fan your crew installed in our home on July 28th.
Craig and Jordan were congenial, professional and installed our fan
just the way we wanted it. Plus, they completed the job expeditiously
in about 3 1/2 hours. We would be happy to recommend your company to
anyone looking for the home cooling services you offer.
One thing I wanted to mention. Craig and I discussed some options to
cover the shutter during winter--and he planned to show me some of
those, but apparently just overlooked it before leaving. Could you
kindly direct me to web sites, etc. where some of these kind of things
are discussed/offered? You might also give me your opinion in re to
these options.
Again, thanks to you and your company for a great job installing our
fan.

Hello,
Thanks for the installation that you did to my home a few months ago. At the time, it was mentioned that there was an insulating insert for the winter from the inside house side. Can you please send me information on that?
Also, I really appreciate what the attic fan and whole house fan have done to help my central air system. By being able to keep the heat in the attic down, in the 95 + degree stretch that we suffered this year, I have been able to keep the house maximum temp to 75 degrees. In past years, it would have been 80 degrees and running the air conditioner 24/7.
Thank You,

We had a whole house fan put in by Colorado Home Cooling last year, and the results have been phenomenal! Not only has it meant that we could essentially not run our central air anymore, saving that cost, but also the airflow in the house is much better and cleaner air coming in from outside is much more refreshing. Great experience with the installation, very cost effective overall, and pleasant air. Awesome!

After years of throwing money away every winter, I finally decided I could no longer waste my hard earned cash.I called Colorado Home Cooling and spoke with Ryan about insulation, of which I knew nothing.He answered all my questioned, came over, assessed the problem, quoted me a price, made me aware of the rebate I was entitled to through excel and did the job the very next day.I have saved twenty percent on my bill the first five months since the insulation has been in the walls and most importantly in the attic. To say I am stoked is an understatement, I am far more comfortable through the cold Colorado winter, saving money and even got a Rebate.Call this dude, you will save MONEY. MG Colorado

Ryan and his team at Colorado Home Cooling are professional, honest, neat and do a fantastic job installing whole house fans. The airflow through the house is so strong that we don't use air conditioning any more - this provides about $100 in savings per month during the summer.

CHC installed an attic fan and insulated the attic in my Denver home. CHC was very professional, knowledgeable, honest and affordable.

CHC was very timely and professional installing the ceiling fans. The fans were installed in an older home and there were quirks along the way. The fan cools the house in minutes and is so much nicer than air conditioning. Well worth the investment to make the home efficient and have lower energy bills during the summer. Highly recommended.

Ryan and a helper showed up on time and well prepared. Even though the work was done in the afternoon and the temperatures were in the 90's outdoors, the heat didn't slow either of them down. I was impressed with their professionalism, adept installation and no-fear attitude while crawling around the spider web-infested attic. It was a job well done.

Description Of Work:
They installed a 36" whole house fan and 6 roof vents. The whole house fan was installed above the landing at the top of the stairs. The six new roof vents were lined up and spaced along the ridge of the house. Everything looked great when finished.
Member Comments:
Jordan and Craig showed up right at the agreed up on time and went straight to work. No loafing here. They did take the time to show me what they were going to do and where they were going to place the fan, switches, and vents and get my OK. They finished in around three hours. It was an over 80 degree day and I ran the fan the entire first night. The fan ran more quiet than I expected, not much louder than my ceiling fan and for the first time ever my upstairs was cooler than my downstairs. My wife and I slept great.

Gave us a rough estimate based on the description of our house size, year built, and what we knew about our attic. Updated the estimate after a site visit and was able to perform the work the same day. Said it would take about 4 hours, but they were actually done in 2.5 hours. We were not able to install the fan exactly where we wanted it because it would have required cutting through a support joist, but we like it anyway and it seems to work well so far. Everyone I know with a whole-house fan swears it really cools the house in the summer and we look forward to that!

Description Of Work:
Installed a whole-house attic fan and 6 roof vents; rewired a smoke detector that was in the way. This installation cost more than usual because we had insufficient roof vents (a home inspector verified that fact) and we needed 2 more than normal, plus we have plaster ceilings, which cost an additional $200 to work with. This is a *much* better unit than you'll find at the home improvement store, so that's not a fair comparison. Plug: Whole-house fans are a really cost-effective way to cool your house when mornings and evenings are cool. Even our air conditioning installer said he uses one to reduce his use of air conditioning.

Service was explained and arranged by phone. 3 young guys run this company, and 2 showed up - I think it's normally one person, but the 2nd guy was not as experienced and was getting trained. That made me a little nervous when he took the saw to my ceiling, but it turned out very well. They arrived on time, laid tarps, climbed on the roof, climbed in the attic, cut holes, installed the 6 vents, installed the controls, moved the smoke detector, cleaned up (fairly well, but it's hard with plaster dust), explained the use, and were out in about 4-5 hrs. It cost more than I expected (although I knew it up front) but it's well worth it.
How much did the final cost compare to the original estimate? right on

What did you like most about this contractor? He knows his attic fans!
What did you like least about this contractor? Cleanup was a bit spotty, but plaster dust requires a vacuum and mop, not a broom.
What surprises came up during the course of the work? The smoke detector needed to be moved, but they did it.
What words of advice would you give other members considering this contractor? They will cut holes in your roof%3B pick a sunny day :)
What words of advice would you give this contractor? It was obvious one guy was getting OJT, but he ended up with a nice, smooth cut!
This is your space. Feel free to give us your two cents ... or quote your favorite movie? We won't recoup the expenditure on our cooling bill, but it does reduce A/C cost, and except for really hot days, the fan is all we use.

The work was performed by Ryan Starr, the proprietor of the business. Ryan was timely, polite, and professional. The installation of the fan and additional vents took approximately five or six hours. The fan works great. We've not turned our AC on since, the fan was installed.
