The issue we had was that the AC could not keep up. Interior temps would creep up to 78 or 79 and the AC ran almost 24/7. Our normal set point is 76.
Now? The house and the garage stay cooler, the AC doesn't struggle. The garage went from intolerable to just warm.
Saving money? I don't know, it would seem so. We definitely improved comfort.
I'll say again, unless you've got a problem, Solar fans aren't going to help you. My ridge vent is cut to code minimum and the roof is new, getting it fixed at this time isn't worth it, so the fans made sense and work for me. Your mileage may vary.
