I went into Home Depot today to relieve myself, the bathroom being in the roofing section. When I come out, I see the bright yellow tag on the shelf across from the. Naturally, I had to check to see what it was. It was a smart attic fan! I happened to need two attic fans, and low and behold two were there! Marked down from $156, it was fate for this beautiful piece of machinery and myself. that being said, it appears there are sprinkles of these gems all around the country. Happy hunting.

I have 3 of these that I got from Amazon at full price. It's a nice fan, if you're an attic fan believer then you'll like it. If you're an attic fan hater then you'll comment below about how attic fans are bad because they suck cool air out of the house and make your AC work harder. To each their own
That is the whole house fan you are referring to
That is all variable by your location's day and night temp swings, humidity, etc.. Sometimes used for just the attic though. The thought being the sun baking the roof all day heats up the attic air and removing that superheated air actually helps the AC cool the conditioned areas of the house.

Quote from AllChristmas :
I have a single-story house, and the attic narrows significantly towards the edges, potentially hindering direct installation on the vent. Could I install this fan where the attic's height is more accommodating, closer to the house's center, and then use a flex duct to connect it to the vent near the narrowed edge?
This is for GABLE vents, not eave vents.

This works well even in a cool climate. Gets in the mid 80s in summer, here in southern California, but the roof would stay hot for hours when the temperature drops down to high 60s, and the A/C would keep running at night. Now I just run attic fan until 7-8pm and the a/c no longer has to run after 8pm. Non believers can keep running their a/c.

Quote from PurpleWallaby729 :
Depends how big the gap in your ridge vent is, what climate. I live in Florida and my heat pump is 20 years old so these definitely help.
Like Superkaz said they are not for ridge vents. My house in Florida was built in 2007 and it had 1 vent installed blowing upwards towards the ridge vent but it was not wired in.
I ran a wire and installed a manual switch (has temp sensor too) but after running it for a few days I did some more research and read that this can disturb the natural air flow from the soffit vent to the ridge vent and make things actually worse.

Need 2 of them to make it work right. Need one pushing in fresh air and one pulling out hot attic air

And an air compressor installed in the middle too, to make it most efficient!

Quote from Dr. J :
Insulation is basically to prevent/inhibit natural convection but still allow breathability. It doesn't seal per se, unless you're talking about foam. Most people would likely see a lot of benefit from simply walking around in their attic and sealing penetrations with a can of Great Stuff. That will eliminate convection directly from the living space. Added insulation will then inhibit natural convection from the ceiling surfaces (in the attic). It will also inhibit radiated heat from the roof from directly making the ceiling hot.
Didn't say that it seals. And you should not use Great Stuff to seal holes from walls going into the attic as it is flammable. I use 3M Fire Barrier foam, which is code approved for that application. Great Stuff is not.

So for those of us who are seeing full price but have been needing something like this anyway, what is a good option/brand to buy at regular price? Is this one still a good buy at full price?
