Elite  3972      Reno |  Subject: Anyone use a whole house fan?my plastic portable evap coolers are not cooperating with summer's boot up. I don't want a roof top swamp cooler, and I don't want air con Electric bills. So, I think we are going to go whole house fan. It might near 100 F during the days, but most nights hit the low 60's here, so it sounds perfect. anyone use one? https://www.wholehousefan.com/quiet-cool-3100-giant/

It was hot to start with, but it was nice and cool in the morning. Leave the bedroom doors and windows open at night. |

I run it at night only, and it uses 530 watts on hi. Once I am done experimenting, I will probably use a timer and use it epven less. It was 58F this morning Inside. I broke out the down comforter! |

If I leave the door from the house to the basement open (and the slider in the basement) it pulls all the cold air from down there through the house. Works awesome. Great for night and it's good just to move the air around sometimes after cooking a big meal in the kitchen or something. |
