Hi all,
I just got my A/C bill for the last month and it is over $300., that is way high. My A/C system is new however I have a big (4 or 5 feet dia.)attic fan that runs all the time from April till it cools down. It is 40 to 50 years old. I suspect it is terriably inefficient when it comes to energy use. I think it is 1/2 to 1 hp ,1725 rpm,110 vac and a NEMA 56? Frame motor. It is about 140 up there so I’m not going up just yet to read the exact data off it.
What would be a good replacement and what kind of saving might I expect? I remember years ago thinking I should do this and then it cooled down and so did my inspiration but now at $300 + per month I’m motivated again.
Thanks in advance.
