options without AC

[TheVTCGuy]

Here is one suggestion I have for everyone looking to cool their house, an attic fan. In my condo I installed an attic fan, AND placed a screen on the door that leads to the attic i.e. open air flow. In the evening, when the air outside cools down, I turn on the attic fan and it sucks cool air in to the condo through the open windows and blows hot air out the roof. It works AMAZINGLY well. I sprung for a good attic fan, if I remember correctly something like 300 CFPM, cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $300. But it makes a huge difference during the evening hours and at night when sleeping. It's especially nice because you get a gentle breezed of fresh and cooler air throughout the condo without really feeling like a fan is blowing on you.
