I have been looking at ways to cool our hot upstairs (last summer was awful) and keep the smeco bill in check. During some hot days we really had to crank it and our Smeco bill was so high for such a small house. The main issue is the house is baked in sun all day. By 6am the air between my glass storm door and the metal door is hot enough to make the paint run, last summer I had to "vent" it by extending the lock and leaving it open.
I have read conflicting reports about attic fans so i am not sure there and I have looked at whole house fans as well, but those seem like they'd only really be useful when outside is cool at night and not when the AC is on. We currently have solar curtains on the windows and are looking at solar screens of window film, but the whole house gets baked.
Anyone have ideas that worked?
