We live in a two story townhouse. We don't have central AC. We have windows units. The problem is the entire second floor gets pretty hot in the summer months. The rooms with the AC can counter that put the hallway can be a sauna alot. We have an attic fan that pulls air out the attic. I've considered adding a whole house fan to the hallway ceiling but I was wondering, what if I just put a large grill, like ones used for AC returns in the hallway celing. Wouldn't the roof attic fan pull the heat thru the celing grate and out thru the attic. Sometimes I open the attic stairs and I guess that sort of helps but its located in a closet in the hall so I have to also leave the closet door opened. Just wondered if a simply large rectangular hole in the ceiling with grate and damper (so I can close it in the winter) would actually work?
Thanks in advance,
