I have a whole housefan in my ranch home, installed
in the center, of the home. It works beautifully, especially
in the cool nights of the summer. Its a quality unit, that I
installed about 10 years ago. It draws air through the windows
of all the rooms, out to the attic, and out to the ridge vents and
soffit vents. We don't use it anymore ,due to airconditioning,
and problems with outside allergies.
Down the road, we will be selling the home. We are debating wether
to remove it or keep it. We will be repainting and we are thinking about
removing it. Will it make any difference in selling our home?

Andy, if I were buying a home, a unit like that would be a major selling
point. We use ceiling fans in most rooms here and it really helps us to not
need the AC as much whiich in turn saves money and is 'evironmentally
friendly' (something we like).


ceiling fans don't cool a place. They make it feel cooler by aiding your own
evaporative cooling (persperation).

A whole fan will cool a place extremely well if, and only if, it is cooler
outside.
