Thanks for the link! I like the idea of being able to read the power coming into the house.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to be dealing with rewiring the fans, but if I ever get around to swapping them to different ones, I might do that before I finish the full install.

So a PWM AC fan wouldn't work. What about it is not a good idea? Would converting the power to DC than PWMing that be beneficial or would the inefficiencies of converting the electricity not be worth it?

Maybe if one has some forethought, they could use DC from a solar array and/or wind turbine and install DC fans. Would this be more efficient than standard AC fans? Also, in this case, would PWM be beneficial?
