Default Just curious whether an attic fan is apropos here

Would an attic fan, of some sort, be feasible in this location?

The house has AC, and three floors, and it's insulated with the
loose stuff, at least anywhere where I can 'see' the rafters.

It's California. Northern. So, it's a pretty mild climate, but,
it's as hot as blazes in these attics, so, I was just wondering
if it's better to run the home heating system fans, or, put an
attic fan in to cool the house down, without running the A/C?





It won't hurt to put in an attic fan but it will not do much to cool
down your house, on a hot day you will still need your AC.

I'd be more concerned with the support beams, they certainly do not look
at all right.
