Question Any experience with whole house fans that go in the attic? We live in a cool coastal area with only a few warm humid days. Since the fans it draws in outside air...won't it just pull in hot air?
Answer Tony - You're exactly right. The fan pulls in outside air thru open windows or doors to move air thru the house and keep you comfortable during MILD or maybe even WARM weather, not HOT. By utilizing the whole house fan, you do not spend the extra money it costs to run your a/c system.
