Attic
Has anyone installed or considered a solar attic fan like the ones SolarGuys installs? We're thinking of having them install one to remove the hot air from the attic.
Save your money! 1) they are very expensive compared to electric fans. Even accounting for electricity. 2) they only work during the day. They do not work after sunset when the air is cooler. 3) In the winter they continue to work pulling the warm air out, when you actually want it there. 4) We did a lot of research before installing 2 electric attic fans and are glad we did. Solar Guys gave us a lot of scare tactics, including you won't be able to stand the noise, which is nonsense. Advice - have a roofing company do the installation vs an electrician.
