attic fans

Upper-floor air movers

Attic fans are ventilation devices installed in the ceiling or gable of an attic to expel hot air and reduce cooling costs.

Whole-house attic fans pull cooler outside air through open windows and push it out through the attic, while attic ventilator fans simply circulate air within the attic space itself: We run the attic fan in the evening instead of the air conditioner.
