Efficient Home Cooling Solutions: Guide to Whole House Fans

November 13, 2023January 8, 2016 by AmerisideAdmin
Whole house fans provide a cooling solution for homes by drawing cooler air from outside, circulating it throughout the house, and then expelling the warm air through the attic and vents. This method reduces indoor temperatures and improves air quality by refreshing the stale air. Typically installed in a central location, these systems work most … Read more

					Even though I could not go with Ameriside for my project, they communicated well, were extremely helpful and very competitively priced. If I didn't have a huge rush to get my project done in two weeks time I would have gone with this company but because of my extreme time crunch I went with one company for all the repairs in my home including the window. Thank you for all your help Tobey! I would definitely hire this company in the future. They are knowledgeable and know exactly what they're doing. They explained the proper process for window retrofitting with my specific area. They also have a fantastic warranty on their work and windows.

					Hello - just to say I was very happy with the work Ameriside did to resolve an issue with my windows - they sent Alan out - he was VERY professional and did very clean work (I'm pretty fussy as I do a fair amount of DIY myself).  Would highly recommend Ameriside to anyone needing window servce.

					Ameriside was very professional and easy to work with. They replaced our existing original decorative shingles with new siding in only two days. We are very happy with the final product and feel that it has enhanced the look and value of our home.  We would recommend Ameriside for anyone looking for this type of service or product.

					I have worked solely with Ameriside to replace my home windows and sliding doors. They graciously work with me around my schedule and budget and do a great job following up with me on the details. I'm looking forward to working with them on a family member's home soon!

					This company was amazing.  As soon as the rains stopped, they were here to do our siding, soffit and facia boards.  They showed up on time and were very respectful of our property.  The sales rep was very informative and showed us many options.  We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is in need of siding work.

					I can't say enough about Ameriside they are so nice and understanding, Andrew the person I spoke to was always so pleasant and helpful and always responded quickly.  Jose, who installed my door and window was so professional, knows what he's doing and the install was so quick. I highly recommend Ameriside, I know I'll be using them again if I need another install and I will be recommending them to my friends and neighbors and co-workers anyone looking for what they offer :)!

					I had a great experience with Ameriside.  Dave and Arash, came out to give an estimate and due to their great communication, I chose to go with them. Their installers resided my house with Certainteed siding.  The job start to finish was without issue and the end project turned out great!  Nice team to work with and will definitely use them again if the need arises.

					My experience with Ameriside is rather positive. We had the siding on our house replaced, picked Ameriside's bid and didn't regret it. The siding was over 35 years old, wooden shingle, and in pretty bad shape. We went with James Hardie staggered edge shingle and Ameriside did the great job end to end.

The entire process from the first contact up until the work completion was rather smooth. All folks involved including the owner, sales rep., project manager, and installers were very courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive.

I am especially happy with the installers Chang and Alex for their efficient work, great communication, and attention to detail.

Overall, the siding looks just like we envisioned.

					My experience with Ameriside is rather positive. We had the siding on our house replaced, picked Ameriside's bid and didn't regret it.

The entire process from the first contact up until the work completion was rather smooth. All folks involved including the owner, sales rep.,

What convinced me to pick Ameriside was the details on the work proposal, the quoted price, and the responsiveness and flexibility of the sales rep. Brian.

Transitioning from the plan & paper to actual work always produces some glitches, and Ameriside project was no different. However, I am happy to report the project manager and the installers were committed to work with me and find the best way to eradicate any issues. I am especially happy with the installers Chang and Alex for their efficient work, great communication, and attention to detail.

Overall, the siding looks just like we envisioned.

					I want to thank Tobey Miller for his excellent description of the windows we were buying and the installation process. Thoroughly professional and timely!  Tobey offered to return to our home to show my husband the windows, which was a long drive for him. Really knows his stuff!

					We are tabling the project for the future but so far, the sales/design rep Tobey has been great! On time, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. Gave us a fair quote for the work. Not pushy at all. Even gave me advice on what to do with an unrelated project and his opinion of feet it should cost. Wish he would be the one who does the work (replacing wood siding with vinyl) but it sounds like he has full confidence in his siding team. Can't speak to the window team, which is what most ppl seem to have issues with

					I never wanted artificial turfgrass even though friends/neighbors of ours had their front yard done and it looks amazing.  My husband convinced me that we should consider it.  We called Ameriside (they did our friends yard) along with several other companies.  Dave from Ameriside came out and walked us through everything.  The other companies either didn't show or came by when we weren't home and then emailed us quotes.  We went with Ameriside and we are so glad that we did.  The guys did an outstanding job and we have gotten so many compliments.  Hands down we recommend Ameriside to friends, family, and anyone who asks.  And me, well I'm glad my husband convinced me.  I now love how our front  yard looks.

					This isn't my 1st go around with window replacement.

They are the best!

Everything you expect and more.

Save yourself time and headaches, call them 1st

I will add that the installation is the most important part of replacing a window. I give them a solid 10 out of 10, and they did an incredible job on this old house!

					Dave Palmer's Ameriside crew did such a nice job on our siding installation!  Dave is so knowledgeable and we really appreciated that he walked us through all our options.  We decided to go with Cedarboard and we love the way it turned out.  We also had our eaves enclosed with soffit siding and the result looks so clean and beautiful!  The Ameriside crew was great to work.  They had excellent recommendations on a few decisions that needed to be made and left the job site thoroughly picked up when they were done.  Ameriside Lake Forest offers quality work at a very reasonable price.  I highly recommend this company.

					Ameriside replaced my 32 year old kitchen windows and updated outside framing.  Dave came out and gave the bid, he was very professional and helpful.  He explained the procedure and the benefits of the upgraded windows.

I love them.  You could feel the difference in the amount of heat the new windows don't allow through to the kitchen.  It is a huge difference.  I can't wait until I do the rest of the windows in my home.

They look great.  Everyone that walks in the kitchen notices the new windows immediately.  I would highly recommend Ameriside and their crew.

					We live in a 40unit townhome complex. Ameriside recently completed a full re-siding using one of their vinyl products called Certainteed. What an absolutely fantastic product and great installation. 

Not only does it look amazing, but the added insulation value (it's a foam insulation backed vinyl) has kept our home temperatures more consistent and dropped our utility costs.  Even during the 40 degree nights this past winter, we didn't turn on the heater even once. We also had Ameriside replace all of our windows and could not be happier with the finished product.  Thanks Ameriside!

					Seamless process from start to finish! From Mike the sales associate being professional and responsive to the three brothers who did the installation I have no complaints. I would like the add the three brothers were friendly and efficient, but most importantly treated my property as if it was there own by cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each work day. I would recommend Ameriside and will use them again if a future project arises.

					We just got our eaves and soffits wrapped, and added new gutters. The quoting and contract process was easy and with no pressure, pricing reasonable and the whole experience stress-free. Tobey was awesome to work with. We are extremely satisfied with the end results.

					We had Ameriside install artificial Turf. We are very happy with the work that was done and highly recommended them. The crew did a great job and they were very good about communicating when the work would be done and how long it would take to complete. They left our front yard spotless and we have had many compliments on the work that was done.

					We had Ameriside install board and batten vinyl siding from CertainTeed and we are so happy with the end results. We went with colonial white for both the siding and trim. We didn't remove our existing siding but they installed a barrier between the existing and the vinyl siding. Everyone that we worked with was great and responsive. We did have to wait about 3 months before they could install the siding but we were not in a rush so it was not a big deal. The installers were awesome and so fast! We removed the stone from the house which ended up being real stone so it was a major undertaking for the installers to remove the three sections. It probably would have taken two days to complete the siding but removing the stone took one day. We would recommend Ameriside if you're looking to have siding installed on your home.

					We needed our windows replaced on our home and we're very apprehensive with who we should choose and what the best options would be for us.  After receiving several quotes we were still not convinced the options presented were right for us. That's when our neighbor recommend we call Ameriside and spoke very highly of their craftsmanship and product. So we called and we're so happy we did!  After meeting with Dave and reviewing his recommendations we knew we had found our window replacement team!   The entire process from estimation, product recommendation and installation was flawless.

The entire process exceeded our expectations. The installers were highly skilled craftsman and we we are so thankful to Dave and his entire team for  a 5 star experience. We would not hesitate to recommend and in-fact encourage anyone considering window replacement to call Ameriside. Thank you Dave for a job well done and an investement we will enjoy for many years to come.

					This company is great!!! We love the quality of the material and the installers. The gentleman that installed our siding & wrapped our fascia & eaves - has over 30  years of experience. Very impressed. We love our new siding and it looks different than most of the houses in the neighborhood of cookie cutter ranch homes. Our house is very beachy and we are looking forward to many years of no maintenance. Big investment but we are sure we picked the right company. Thanks

					We had a very professional experience with Ameriside from the the first consultation right up to the end of the job. Dave provided excellent knowledge and was very honest in providing advice for an usual window we had in our home. He was there to provide us with a quality product and even upgraded us to a better glass for the same price! We were very pleased with the price point, the quality of work and the installation was quick and clean. We love our new windows and sliders and compared to other windows in the neighborhood, ours stand out as a high end product.

					We have worked with Ameriside twice now, and will be working with them again. We have had the most exceptional service!  We installed new windows in our very first home and were very happy.  One of the windows needed a new pane after 5 years of owning it, and Ameriside replaced it free because they stand by the warranty that comes with the windows.  We now own our second home and replaced the upstairs windows. Again, the work of installing them, the product and the professionalism was outstanding.  We are hoping to replace the downstairs soon.  We have dealt mostly with Dave at Ameriside and he has been great. Both times he has been professional, has recommended ways we can save money and has the work done immediately to our satisfaction. We recommend this company over and over to many of our friends. One of the best home improvement companies, if not THE best, we have ever worked with.  Honestly: can't say enough.

					Just had the first half of my 30 plus windows installed by Ameriside. Awesome windows! Jose and Christian work the whole day straight. They did amazing work and left my home spotless. Oh, and did I mention the windows. I wanted to get some of the windows installed before I left for vacation and they were very accommodating. Now I'm sorry that I'm leaving. At least I have something to look forward to when I get back. The house is already quieter and warmer with just half done. Thanks Ameriside!
