Been considering putting a solar gable vent fan in our attic. Anyone have one?
I've had the electric version before. The electric version is only about $50 (vs. $220 for the solar), pushes about 400 more CFM, and usually doesn't draw a lot of electricity, so not sure the solar is worth the extra cost other than being a little more green. If one cuts my cooling by 30% I'd still be saving money with the electric. Thoughts?
