House Fans for Spicewood homes, done by vetted Austin-area
crews. A whole house fan pulls cool evening air through open windows and exhausts hot attic and interior air out through roof or gable vents, dropping indoor temperature fast once the outside air cools below the inside air. Central Texas evenings, especially in the Hill Country and Lake Travis area, cool off enough most of the year to make a whole house fan a real alternative to running AC overnight.
Spicewood: Spicewood sits along Lake Travis in the Hill Country, and its custom home stock faces the same IECC Climate Zone 2 heat and sun exposure common to the rest of the western Austin metro.
