Re: “You mention this fan draws 6500 watts.”
Heh. That's pretty good. No, I did not say that it draws 6500 watts. I said it was a "Centric Air QA-Deluxe 6500(W)." That's the fan's name. There's also a sibling fan called the "Centric Air QA-Deluxe 6500(R)". The difference is that the first unit has a wall-mountable control unit, hence "W," while the second has a handheld remote control unit, hence "R."

6500 watts! Wow! I think there might be danger of the roof detaching from the house whenever that thing runs!

while I know exactly what a whole house attic fan is because my parents house and grandparents house had one, i have another question which is a tad concerning.
You mention this fan draws 6500 watts.
105 watts equals one amp. 6500 wats equals almost 62 amps of electric being used when that thing is running..

That is a whole lot of electric current being used on a fan.. I can see your electric meter spinning like a turbine in an F22 . I am hoping it is not 6500 watt usage. You would need to start yer own electric manufacturing just to power that.

Hopefully you read that wrong. If not, well, I wouldn't put it in.. You could run an air conditioner for less than that.
