In the last few days, I've begun to seriously consider a whole house fan. We have a really nice central air and heat, but it's too expensive to run it. There's a fan, but it's not whole house, and really doesn't do a whole lot to cool anything. I can't find any pricing examples to determine if it's something I can finagle or not (income is limited). So here are a few questions for those of you who might have a whole house fan now --
1) Is there a brand that you prefer?
2) I've read about belt vs drive driven fans. Which would you get?
3) Any pricing examples, even if vague, that someone can give using an average size home (small really)?
4) Lastly, is there such a thing as putting one of these in just a section of the home, say the lived in half versus the other half where it really doesn't matter?
Thanks!
