Services
Island Cooling was founded in 2008 by brothers Ivan and Al Whitworth to provide energy efficient cooling products that help people enjoy their homes. We are proud to provide our customers with quality products that stand the test of time. We look forward to bringing you the best home cooling solutions and great customer service and support.
With our warm sunshine and cool trade winds, Hawaii's beautiful climate is moderated by the temperature of the surrounding ocean. In most of the state the range between the coldest and warmest months averages less than 10° F difference. In the leeward areas, temperatures in the low 90's may be reached on several days during the year, but temperatures higher than these are unusual.
When we leave our homes for the day, the air heats up and stagnates. This hot air rises and expands, making the home uncomfortable and preventing cooler air from entering. During hotter days, in-home temperatures can reach 100 plus degrees. Hot expanding air also accounts for the difficulty in using small fans to blow cool air into the home as these fans lack the volume of air movement needed to rid the home of heat.
Looking for that edge to your listing or project? Hawaii's indoor/ outdoor lifestyle is a big part of what makes our islands unique. The values and features of QuietCool include equipment that is maintenance free, compatible with energy efficient living and an open-air lifestyle. We work with real estate professionals and our partners so that you can add this large value with a small investment.
Whole house fans are the most energy efficient cooling systems available. Many Hawaii homeowners are able to reduce or eliminate A/C usage during all but the hottest days. This allows homeowners to recapture their investment quicker than many other energy efficiency products. A QuietCool whole house fan system exchanges the volume of air inside your home 20-30 times per hour.

On the initial consultation, if was obvious Ivan really knew his product and his full confidence in it was evident. He gave us the full run down and answered any questions we had. What I appreciated was his "no pressure" attitude. After mulling over which whole house fan we'd purchase, we contacted him. His response time was fantastic!
Today, Ivan drove out to our home in Ewa Beach to deliver the whole house fan. He then opened up everything so we could examine it as he explained the installation.(We are DIYers on this project.) Ivan went above and beyond by helping to get it up

So, Island Cooling provided my family's 4th generation 100+ year old business, Nii Superette, with a modern solution to yearly rising WAIPAHU temperatures and energy costs. This was in 2016.
Since that time, we have kept cooler and had energy bills that were $500 to $750 cheaper per month to run out commercial refrigeration equipment, keep them running colder than before!
Flash forward to today, August 2021. This is the first service call needed for any of the 10 fans installed in 2016. The service experience received is awesome because of the owners/employees/business partners and also

We love the whole house fan concept and the excellent service we get from Island Cooling. We live in Palolo Valley and have a floor plan that caters to our preference for fresh island air and tropical breezes through windows and doors. We do have AC, but only use it for muggy Kona weather high humid days. So satisfied with Island Cooling-- perfect for island living! Mahalo Ivan for changing out a switch for us.

We highly recommend Island Cooling. They did an excellent job of installing a whole house fan for us recently. I really appreciate Ivan taking the time to walk me through how to select the right fan, how it's installed, what is included and what to expect from the whole house fan. Gideon did an excellent job of scheduling and walk through at the end to make sure the fan was installed correctly and to answer our questions. The crew was professional, efficient and did a great job. The whole house fan is making our living space much more comfortable. Thanks, Island Cooling. Great job.

I've had my whole house fan (QuietCool) since 2011 and it's been running flawlessly. Very happy with how it cools my home, although it requires more frequent vacuuming.
Recently, I had some tenants cause some damage to my home. I contacted Al, whom originally sold me and installed the fan in 2011, and he was able to walk me through some diagnosis and repairs over email and thru the phone. That saved me a site visit and hundreds of dollars in repairs. He was very professional and patient and did a great job explaining how to do some basic upkeep items.

11 years ago I installed five whole house fans for the main part of my home and four individual bedrooms to keep my house cool.
I already had installed central air for the home but found it too expensive to run every day. Then Island Cooling began to advertise the benefits of their whole house fan and it made sense to have them installed.
That was one of my best decisions and investments in comfort I made. The fans kept my main part of the house very comfortable during the hottest time of the day.
As we retire to our individual rooms the whole house fan in each room continues to bring fresh

During the summer days, the sweltering heat can be brutal during the mid day. And on days when there's no wind. We were really skeptical when researching ways to cool down our vaulted style ceiling home. We thought of Central Air, but didn't like the high cost of paying for electric. We thought about adding a second roof but didn't like the $20k + Money it would cost to put additional weight on the top of the house. So we researched about Quiet Cool fan systems. That was basically our cheapest option and a few months later, we are really glad we chose this option. We have

This company has been dependable from the start. We've had our QuietCool all house fan system for 3-4 years. Ivan and the guys are knowledgeable, NOT pushy, and easy to work with. We recently needed a switch replaced, and Ivan was at our door within 2 days with no labor charges. P.S. We LOVE our all house fan!

Ivan from Island Cooling provides the best service ever! He is extremely knowledgable about his products, and strives to find the best solutions to meet your needs. AC Electric did a great job installing the fans, and New World Roofing put up the attic vents nicely. Ivan is always reachable, and responded right away when the noise from one of the fans was louder than expected. He came over promptly and took care of the problem. The fans have performed as promised, and I am a very satisfied customer. I am now a "fan" of this outstanding local company!

Just had our whole house fan (Quiet Cool) installed and it's been awesome. With the Summer heat upon us this was the perfect opportunity to put this system to the test, and it did not disappoint. Hats off to Al at Island Cooling for his expertise and professional advice on just exactly what kind of system was right for our house. And then you got the installers and roofers that come out on install day. I can't say enough great stuff about the quality of work, professionalism, expertise and customer service that these guys provided. Just want to give a big shout out to the guys at

After getting this house fan installed from Island Cooling, not only is the house several degrees cooler, but the air feels fresher from the continuous air flow. It's like getting light trade winds through the whole house.
Owner Al and his brother are very professional and easy to deal with. The installation crew, quick and friendly.

I have had my house fan since 2013! Its been a great investment. Al or his brother is always reachable. I even get a return call and an email from them.
A most excellent 15 year warranty. Warranty not ended yet, but the couple of times I had questions or issues, I got quick responses.
For warranty and dependability, I have never experienced such a responsible and professional local company.

A review long over due....... I had the Whole house fans installed in my rental in the summer of 2019. What a difference it has made. The house was like a frying pan with no air circulation. Once the fans were installed we noticed a considerable difference. A great investment and even got an energy rebate back. My new tenants are pleased!

He knew time was of the essence since the house was vacant - we were prepping it for the new tenant. He came out right away and notified me when there was

Island Cooling installed three whole house fans 2 1/2 years ago and I've been using them every day since then. My home in Pearl City has high cathedral ceilings and the three bedrooms are on the second floor. Two of the bedrooms used to get unbearably hot due to the afternoon sun.
The whole house fans have made a world of difference! They have most definitely cooled down the upstairs level and have also provided a lovely breeze coming through our downstairs windows. At night, it can even get downright chilly when we put the fans on high!
Ivan provided courteous and professional service
