Default Attic Fan

I have no attic fan to draw out warm air in the summer, and I was
wondering how difficult this is to install?

Or, who can I call to have this put in? I don't know if I trust going
to home deport and getting a list of contractors from them. I mean,
the people at my HD are like clueless zombies, so how good could the
contractors be?

Wiring aside, a handyman type of person can do the install. He may or may
not be capable of doing electric or be allowed under the regulations. Take
a look in your attic. Even an unoccupied space may have a light fixture up
there that has adequate power for the fan.

Installation may be simple for a fan in the gable vent or much more complex
for one going through the roof. You also want to be sure you have proper
soffit venting and add a ridge vent if you don't have one.
