Repairing attic fan

When we first moved into this house I went up into the attic and saw that we had an attic fan.  I couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to work; everything that I tried to make it run didn’t seem to have any effect.  Well, finally I got around to having a handyman service come out to the house and take a look at it.  I hated to admit defeat, but my wife was reminding me frequently that we really should be running it to help keep the costs of cooling the house low.  Well, it turns out that the motor was burnt out.  No wonder it wouldn’t run!  We determined that it was cheaper to replace the motor than to replace the entire fan, which was surprising, but good news.  So we replaced the motor and now it runs just fine.  I hope we will see a difference on our electric bill next month!
