update on solar attic fan

oct-nov ttec bill was approx 3900wh usage
fan was installed mid january so only used a couple weeks into dec-jan billing cycle
dec-jan24 bill was 3500wh

looking forward to next cycle for full difference
granted last october was much hotter with the extreme weather

[Chimera]

mine makes a massive difference and i think mine is 55 W

i was going to upgrade from 18000 btu unit to a 24,000 and with the exhaust fan venting the hot ceiling air...the 18,000 have the place coldddd even on the hottest day

and i have it set on a smart switch timer as well
comes on from 330 am to 430 am i think to draw in cool air

comes back on from 1pm to 3pm to cool the place again when i know i reaching home like 5pm


i have a good temp gun and without the fan the difference is like 3 degrees celcius inside
and realistically i should have gone with a larger fan

[pugboy]

you saved money not buying bigger unit and now place even colder than possible before and likely ttec $$$ reduction too

not often you get a win-win-win situation

These are the sort of things that will help minimize the impact when the rates increase. Glad to see actual solutions instead of just complaining.

If it is not solar powered, why not just cut a hole and install it in the under ceiling.

[pugboy]

ideally you want to suck air out of a high point in the roof and fresh cooler air coming in from below
otherwise hot air will be trapped still as hot air rises

if you have a side wall you can simply bust a hole high enough and mount fans like his which are similar to restaurant extractor fans

i couldn’t do wall mount since my roof is a hip roof
a 4 sided pyramid

[Chimera]

Yup it depends on yuh wall and roof

But the solar one would work for everyone
