Jan + Richard's New Solar Powered Attic fan
Solar Power Questions:
Do attic fans really cool down a house?
Im thinking of buying the solar powered attic fan that Costco has to save on the AC but really need to know if they make a big difference (solar or electric ). It costs $369 so I need to know if it's worth the investmen. Thanks
You will not notice the difference your self. But your AC will. It will take some of the strain off of it. When your attic is oven temp the heat is at your ceiling. If you have ceiling fans you push it around the room causing it to end up near your thermostat. Effect is your AC runs more. If you get the heat out of the attic, your AC will be able to shut off more often thereby reducing your cooling bills, and repair bills on the AC. Place a thermometer in your attic and read it on a hot day. The temps are usually around 130 degrees. Now turn on the attic fan and come back in about an hour. You will notice a change. It may not be 80 in the attic now, but it will for sure be cooler.
