Humidity a problem here too. I agree the transitional months are the best. My AC is two zoned- upstairs and downstairs, so I can also leave the upstairs AC off during the day, then as evening cooler temps arrive, I can run the fan with the upstairs windows open and quickly drop the hot temps- even if I still need to run the AC, it'll be less energy with an attic at 80 not 110 and upstairs at 80 not 90 degrees.
Some nice fans on the market. I need a big one. The all welded models claim less noise due to sqeaking, etc. but are almost twice as expensive. Any of you with whole house fans experience a lot of rattles and sqeaks? Is it worth the extra bucks for welded? This is something I plan to use for many years.
