Baz is correct. I want to install one for the family room where most of us gather. When I remodeled this section of the house, I was being cute and installed a whole wall full of very large windows big sliding doors and a 4'x4' sky light. Luckily, they have extremely good Low E ratings. On the extremely hot days where the temp is over 103-104, that room can use a little extra help if all of us are in there with the kids electronics in full swing. I am waiting for the solar technology to run those get a bit better in a couple years so I can add one in that room. Screw Socal Edison.

Have you seen the blower that mount between the rafters instead of the big box on the wall? Its a little more money, but it sure looks so much better.
