Re: Attic Fans - are they worthwhile?
We had The Solar Guys install a solar attic fan on our house; there is no wiring to this type of fan, instead running whenever the sun hits the solar panel which is mounted on the outside casing of the fan. We have not had it long enough in TV to know how it works, but Ive had attic fans in every house I've owned and they do a great job moving the outside air through the attic. Even when it's hot outside, the stationary air in the attic would get much hotter if not for the fan sucking in the relatively cooler outside air, hot as it may be. I have no idea how our attic fan will affect the temperature in the garage; that'll be interesting to find out.
