That fancy attic fan I installed 2 years ago is still collecting dust

I bought this pricey solar attic fan in 2022 thinking it would cut my cooling bill by half. Turns out my AC barely runs anyway in Calgary summers, so it's just been spinning up there doing nothing. Anyone else impulse-buy home upgrades that ended up being totally pointless?

Oh man, I did the same thing with a pricey whole-house fan back in 2021... thought I'd be a hero with my energy bills but my house is shaded enough that it's basically a fancy ceiling ornament now. It's just sitting up there humming along for no reason, collecting dust bunnies...

Learned that one the hard way too, seems like half our smart home gadgets are just solving problems we don't actually have.
