Whole house fans need to make a comeback. Our house was built in the 1920s and has one from the early 60’s before AC was common and I love that fucking thing. We still have some window AC units for really hot days or days when its hot and raining but it cuts WAAAAY down on how often we actually end up using them. Still uses some power obviously but nowhere near as much from what I can tell, and that’s a 60 odd year old one.
