House Fans for Wells Branch 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.
Wells Branch: Wells Branch shares the hail exposure common to Central Texas and the mature tree canopy typical of a neighborhood built out through the 1970s and 1980s.
