both! once the heat hit the ACs went on and didnt stop until september. We put a house fan in and now only run the ACs when its just unbearably hot or humid (we have only run them about 3-4 days total so far this year.) With the fan you suck in all the cool air at night and close the windows in the AM before things heat up. You would be amazed at how comfy you'll be with just the fan. Even just the air circulation, and not so much the temperature, is all you need.
Another nice thing is it cools the attic making the house cooler too. Run the fan for a bit and then throw on the ACs....saves a lot of time trying to get the house cooled down.
We keep saying the fan is the best thing we ever did! All in all a must if you ask me. its only downfall is in a humid heat wave...it will help but not replace the comfort of AC when the 3 H's roll in
Oh and it paid for itself in electric savings in about 2 months!
