Did you know that a lot of houses have attic ventilation fans in them? They remove hot air from the highest part of the building in the summer, allowing cooler air to replace it and increasing the effectiveness of the house's air conditioning.

We definitely knew this was a thing.

We also definitely did not give it a single thought until today, at least two months into full-on summertime where we live.

...oops. At least it's on now.

@packbat Aye. There's also gable vents and soffit vents that work in conjunction with those.

@Zauberin houses should really come with manuals - it'd make it a lot easier if we could check a calendar or something and see "hey, you should do [x] today" on it.
