Attic Fan or save for A/C?

[SideShow Bob]

That is the problem. We plan on being in the house maybe 2 years MAX and have no budget what so ever until the house in Texas sells. What hoping to do one and be done, but it sounds like the house fan wont be enough.

Thanks for the advice all.

Get a large window unit swamp cooler, put it in a ground floor window near the outside water faucet, or run a cheap flexible plastic line like for a refrigerator, and open the upstairs bedroom window. Initial cost around $450,Cools just as good as A/C and quicker, electric bill stays low and you can take it with you when you move.

I did this for about 10 years and three rentals, then donated it to Habitat for Humanity when we bought a home with central air.

^^^^^ I agree, a window mounted swamp cooler is the best option for short term. I did them same for two different houses.

!!!! Good call!

Hell, I bet I could get one of those window fans to assist in pushing air out. Thanks!
