Attic Fan or save for A/C?

[Graves]

Attic fans work great depending on your home's overall insulation efficiency, and they're a snap to install. I had one at my last place which was a multilevel and I'd use it to draw in cool air in the evenings which kept the place pretty cool through the day so the central air didn't have to work so much. Only draw back is the noise near the unit, leaving windows open, and having to chock doors in the house.

It will never work as great as AC, but an attic fan should make those hot days tolerable. You can always get a window rattler too.
