I have one in my house now but it's not hooked up. I've been meaning to get it up and running.

We had one. Even in the summer you could use it. Our house was under some massive live.oaks. We also had a floor furnace. I grew up in Covington so we used both.

Wife and I just bought our first house a few months ago. Built in 85. Has an attic fan. Have heard they are awesome to have in fall/spring but haven't really had a chance to use it yet.

Had one in the first house my wife and i owned. It was great for when we were painting and wanted to dry the walls faster and get the fumes out of the house.

The first house we had in Dothan had one. It was right outside the bedrooms upstairs, one of which was mine. House built in the early 40s. I didn't know what it was and flipped the switch for it when I was like 9 or 10. That big whoosh when it came on scared my mom. I guess she hadn't turned it on either.

We had one before we had central A/C; the louvres are still in the hallway ceiling. My granparents in Folsom had one that we used until the house was remodeled in the early '80's - then it burned down!

My grandparents didn't have AC in their house until they got window units years later. There was a big fan in the hall ceiling. It had louvers that would open up when you turned the fan on. I thought it was the most baddest thing in the world when I was a youngin.
my grandparents had one too. My mom says that thing would cool the house better than the ac that they put in.

I grew up with an attic fan. My parents never had A/C until 1963 when I bought them a window unit for the living room.
The best sleeping of my life was with the windows open and that attic fan drawing in night air thru the gardenias that grew just outside my window. It was fantastic.

Used to launch socks up that bad boy.
That's how I dried damp cloths before school.

Still have it i my mothers house. She doesn't use it much anymore. The louvers won't open unless you use a broomstick to push them up.

Hand up here. And when I bought my first house, I installed an attic fan in the hallway and it proved to be awesome on those fall and spring days of cool weather.

Had one in our house when my dad was stationed in Indiana. No A/C in the house, when that thing came on, it was like a wind tunnel in there.

Had one at the top of some steps in a townhome I used to live in. That beast created a hell of a wind tunnel up through the stairway. I'd reverse launch parachute men up it.
Worked great for when I got home from work and the place was hot from where the air had been turned up all day. I'd turn on the fan for 15 minutes or so to suck out all the hot air from upstairs. The place would cool down a lot quicker.

We had one and a scary thing happened in the winter when little brother turned it on by accident and our fireplace was lit, sucked that fire right up towards the spectacular '70s blown in popcorn ceiling lucky as hell he turned it off before the house caught fire

I had one growing up. Thing was great. We didn't have central AC until I was in high school.

Our camp does.. not in use anymore though.

Had one in Vegas. We called it a swamp cooler for some reason. For an area with dry heat those things are fantastic.
