Those window fans are excellent. And you think it is awesome pulling cold air in? Switch it to exhaust and pull the hot air out. I was sceptical at first, but it works many times better.
I have a window fan sucking the air out at the front of the house and I leave a window open at the back of the house (all upstairs). And I switch the furnace fan on too for a little more cool air coming in.
I also close windows and blinds to block the sun during the day.
Some people like AC and that's fine. In the car it is an absolute must for me. But at home with my little system taking advantage of the relatively cold evenings here in Calgary, I can't justify AC.
