Commercial Whole‑House Fan Installation in Burbank

Why consider a commercial whole‑house fan in Burbank?

When temps drop in the evening or during cool mornings, a high‑volume whole‑building fan can flush accumulated heat from your space and attic/plenum while drawing in fresh outdoor air. The result: faster comfort recovery, improved indoor air quality, and reduced AC runtime—especially valuable for offices, studios, retail shops, eateries, and light industrial spaces in Burbank’s microclimate.

• Energy savings by shifting cooling to low‑cost ventilation hours
• Healthier air with higher outdoor air exchange and odor removal
• Lower peak demand and extended HVAC equipment life
• Quiet, controlled airflow with modern ECM motors and smart controls

Engineering‑first design and code compliance

#1 AC Guys is a 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. We specialize in complex commercial HVAC—and that includes whole‑house style fan systems tailored for business use. Our design process aligns with California Title 24, CALGreen, and ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation standards. We complete permitting, load and airflow calculations, attic/relief ventilation planning, and seismic considerations common to Los Angeles County projects.

Every installation includes careful attention to intake relief (openings and paths for make‑up air), back‑draft prevention, fire/life safety coordination where required, and acoustic strategies to keep your workspace productive.

Our commercial installation process

• On‑site assessment and goals: comfort, IAQ, energy targets, and schedules
• Airflow modeling: CFM selection, intake/relief sizing, and duct/hood design
• Code review and permitting with local Burbank authorities
• Structural and roof/attic checks; weatherproofing and curb/penetration details
• Electrical, controls, and interlocks with existing HVAC where appropriate
• Clean installation with safety barriers and minimal business disruption
• Commissioning: airflow balancing, noise testing, and control programming
• Owner training and documentation, including maintenance intervals

Controls and integrations

We implement simple wall controls, timers, occupancy sensors, or advanced logic that prioritizes economizing when outdoor conditions favor ventilation. Integrations can coordinate with your existing AC to prevent conflicts, protect pressure balance, and protect indoor air quality.

What types of spaces benefit?

• Offices and creative studios seeking quick evening cool‑downs
• Retail and restaurants wanting fresh air turnover and odor relief
• Gyms and rehearsal spaces with fluctuating occupancy
• Light manufacturing and warehouse mezzanines with trapped heat

In Burbank’s climate, many businesses see comfort improve rapidly after sunset and early mornings. We help you capitalize on those hours for lower energy use and better IAQ.

Training and craftsmanship you can trust

Our team is factory‑trained at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). That engineering discipline shows up in our attention to airflow, acoustics, and reliability—backed by a family legacy devoted to safe, clean, code‑compliant installs.

Service areas

We serve Burbank and all of Los Angeles County, plus Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County—delivering consistent standards across multi‑site portfolios.

Maintenance and ongoing support

• Periodic inspection of belts/ECM motors and fasteners
• Cleaning of grilles, louvers, and bug screens for optimal CFM
• Control verification and seasonal scheduling adjustments
• Attic/relief path check to maintain quiet operation

Permitting, documentation, and inspections

We handle submittals, Title 24 compliance documentation, and coordinate inspections. You receive as‑built airflow data, balancing results, and maintenance guidelines so your staff can operate the system confidently.

Frequently asked questions

Will a whole‑house fan replace my AC?
It complements AC. During cool hours, ventilation does the heavy lifting; during hot periods, AC finishes the job—usually with shorter runtimes.

Is it noisy?
We design for quiet: correct fan sizing, ECM motors, ducted paths where beneficial, vibration isolation, and acoustic grilles. We verify sound during commissioning.

What about air quality?
We evaluate outdoor conditions and recommend controls to ventilate when it’s advantageous. Where needed, filtration and scheduling strategies help protect IAQ.

How long does installation take?
Most light commercial projects are completed in 1–3 days after permits, with minimal disruption.
