Default Is a Whole house fan an asset?

So put one in. It's an afternoon project.

I call the fans an asset! My grandparents had a whole house fan.

They are great for evacuating burnt biscuit smoke also



I'd call a whole house fan an asset also. We had one in the house I spent
grades 8-12 in and it worked great during evenings when it was cool
outside. It drew cool air from downstairs (outside) and blew like a
hurricane out through the attic. The air temp would drop dramatically and
it was cheaper to operate than the air conditioning. We used ours
primarily in the spring and fall. Summers were too hot and winters too
cold.

I'd love to have one where I live now.
