What kind of exhaust fans do you have?

They are "Spartan"s that I believe is now handled by Grainger. The
original owner bought them from a local place called Wickes RIP that
was killed by the chains. All the paperwork came with the house along
with the papers on everything else he ever bought.
This is a 24" deal with a 2 speed motor, 1/4hp on high probably about
1/10 on low. and it will pop your ears if you don't have enough
windows open.

Wickes was a small chain, I believe. We had a Wickes around hear years ago.

Yup, soffit vents, ridge vents and gable end vents. I can move a lot
of air.

Yup. In a hot, humid environment a big fan will exhaust a lot of hot,
humid air, replacing it with hot, humid air.

They are good the 5-6 months of the year when the AC is off
particularly at night.

We do not have the humidity, but do have lots of heat during the day during
the summer. In the evening when the bay breezes come over the coast
hills, the whole house fan cools the house down rapidly and very
economically.

OK, it's mounted in the ceiling. I've seen those. The type I remember
had louvers that were opened by the air flow and closed on their own.
Kind of noisy, as I recall, but very functional.
