I have a ridge vent on my 2 story home, and I want to know if running an upstairs bathroom exhaust fan will help cool the upstairs

Maybe just the bathroom, and then that ever so slightly. It isn't a very big motor in the vent, so don't expect too much. I haven't even noticed a difference running the fan when I am in the bathroom.

OK, thanks! I guess it can't hurt to try it.

Don`t think you`ll tell any difference ,all it will accomplish is to wear the motor out
