Solar Fans

Solar fans are a great option for those looking be "green", however you may need to install more than one to cool your home. The fans work best in areas with a good amount of heat and sun light. If you live in an area that cannot provide those two things, solar fans may not be a good option for your home.

Exhaust Fans

Exhaust fans are another good cooling option. These fans are designed to remove large volumes of hot air from the entire house while bringing in cooler air from outside. If you have a larger home, this may be the best option as it can efficiently recycle the air.
