A whole-house fan moves air through a home and is different from a ceiling fan or a powered attic ventilator. Guardian reviews the electrical connection, controls and replacement scope for the selected equipment. Ventilation design, attic conditions and other building requirements should be coordinated before installation is accepted.

Ceiling fans circulate room air, attic fans ventilate an attic and whole-house fans use a different airflow path through the building. Describe the comfort concern and the equipment you are considering rather than selecting a fan based on its name alone.
The Building America whole-house fan guide discusses installation considerations. Suitability for a particular home depends on its construction, ventilation arrangement and use; an electrical connection is only one part of that decision.
Provide the fan model, manufacturer requirements and proposed mounting location. Guardian assesses the circuit, wiring route and controls within the accepted electrical scope. Access from the attic or ceiling can affect the installation sequence.
Timers, speed controls and compatible switches must suit the actual equipment. Do not substitute an ordinary lighting dimmer for a fan control unless the equipment documentation explicitly supports the arrangement. Compare ceiling fan services or attic fan wiring if the proposed project concerns one of those different systems.
Describe whether the unit is silent, runs intermittently, operates at one speed only or makes an unusual sound. Tell us about recent work, the age of the equipment and any previous repairs.
The issue may involve the supply, control, wiring or fan equipment. Guardian defines the electrical assessment and identifies where ventilation or mechanical work is needed. Replacing a control should not conceal an unresolved equipment or installation concern.
A whole-house fan may involve structural openings, attic access, ventilation provisions and insulation or sealing work beyond wiring. Identify the contractor responsible for those parts of the installation before an electrical completion date is set.
The quote should explain the electrical connection, controls, testing and access arrangements. Confirm whether removal of the old unit, ceiling repair and ventilation changes are included or separately provided. A request is not a promise that every proposed fan suits the home.

No. They use different airflow arrangements and should be specified for the actual building and objective.
Provide the model, instructions and installation plan so Guardian can confirm the electrical scope and required coordination.
The selected equipment, existing circuit and applicable requirements determine the supply arrangement.
Do not assume it can. The fan and control must be compatible with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Only the agreed electrical scope is included; building ventilation and other specialist work must be assigned expressly.
Send the model, operating symptoms, control information and safe photographs without opening equipment or entering unsafe attic areas.
