Wow, what a difference is air flow or movement. I have a constant temp of 91 to about 103 degrees in the upstairs duct and I have raised my inside temp on average 2 to 3 degrees. We are getting into our cold season now so lets see what happens in -20 temps, but I am very pleased with my outcome.

You realize you have created a potencially deadly situation for yourself and your family?

That is why put the bathroom fan in. I put in a Panasonic whisper green light fan and also installed a a/c thermostat and have it set for 72, so anything higher turns the fan on. Its only been a week so far but I know it'll be cheaper than the larger house fan and it is working very well so far.
Good luck with what you decide.
