We put them in up north and had two on the bigger Villages home in September.
Within minutes after they were installed the attic was a new climate zone.
We drop the garage stair, crack open the garage windows, and that gets to a new climate zone too.
Since we don't use the ac (only for renters), we're putting in some 'whole house fans' in the ceiling to draw cool air in at night.
The attic fans are the first thing we would put into a home without them.
The convincer was the comparison between the existing 'ridge vents' and powered fans.
It takes three hundred feet of ridge vent to exchange the same air as one 20w attic fan
