That size in electric run about $100. plus installation and operating costs. They need between 280 and 400 watts to operate. Home Depot Attic Fan - Home & Garden - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at Nextag - Price - Review These solars at HD seem to be about 250cfm, 15 watts and underpowered. Edit: found this 1500 watt comparison online but I think the electric costs are overstated. Still looks good though. http://www.energyefficientsolutions....comparison.asp

Here's one at 1500 cfm for about $550, but if U shop they can be had for 400-450
The cost comparison on that link is about right. Also you're reducing your carbon footprint with solar

I 100% agree with you about the screen being the best way to go. The screen also adds to the beauty of the neighborhood by concealing the contents of your garage when the door is open. Prop the attic stairs open a bit and the process of thermodynamics will take over and pull the "cooler" air into the attic and out the ridge and soffit vents. IMHO there is no real benefit to any kind of attic fan. |

Too Cool Garage
I extended my Golf Cart garage 27' down the side of my house and took out the back wall making it 42' long. I insulated the doors and the attic of the addition along with the existing garage. Finally I had a Mitsubishi 2 ton ductless AC unit installed in my garage. You can hang meat in the garage now. This is why I say it is "Too Cool Garage".
