One is called an attic fan and cools the attic only. One is called a whole house fan and sucks air from the house (NOT the attic) outside. You're discussing a whole house fan, which I agree is really nice in New England and similar climes. (Because whole house fans are located in the attic, many people call them attic fans although that's technically incorrect.) I'm talking about an attic fan that is used solely for drawing air from outside into and through the attic. There are many who believe that an attic fan uses more power than it is worth, if the house has enough insulation and the attic circulation is properly designed. Now, I installed one in my house, but I can't really tell whether it was worth it or not.
