Save Energy & Money with a Whole House Fan Installation

Whole House Fan Installation

A whole house fan installation can help reduce your energy bills. Some calculations claim that one of these systems can have an operating cost as little as 1/5th as much as cooling your home with an air conditioner.

Client Testimonials

Ted actually helped us find a new home AND sell two homes. He was beyond helpful with everything. When looking for a home, Ted didn't waste our time…My husband and I are really busy so this meant a lot to us….he always had plenty of houses lined up for us to look at and he acted as our personal chauffeur. He really knows Simi, so he knew exactly where to take us….and ultimately he found us our beautiful new home. Selling the other two was a breeze…Ted took care of everything. No complaints here!

Ted was wonderful in helping us sell our house. He was in constant communication with us and made the process very easy and stress-free. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him.

reuel

Professional and very easy to work with.

Ted's continuing knowledge of local real estate markets enabled an immediate, correct valuation of the house we sold. Calm and competent throughout the process, he remained unflappable through the invevitable hurdles. His escrow team at Keller Williams were perfect.
