This is probably a stupid question. But I'm a girl, so the answer isn't obvious to me. If you're not in TV during the summer months, why do you care how hot it gets in the attic or the garage?

We have a humidistat which means our air conditioning costs are peanuts per month. I'm just wondering why an attic fan is such a benefit.
