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.

Also, *great for evacuating* mid summer heat.

Whole house fans Rock!
