Do they make any window fans that can be electronically reversed, like
this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HW-628-Twin-Window-Fan/dp/B0000CGQYA

Where, if the outside temp hit a certain temperature, it could reverse
and blow the cooler air into the room, or if it were hotter outside,
it would go in the direction to suck hot air out of a room to the
outside?

Thanks

Flip the plug. No wait! Flip the fan. :)

All window fans do something like that. They suck the hot air out and suck
the cooler air in other windows at the same time. You just have to learn
how to balance the right windows for maximum effect. You also need a proper
window fan with side baffles and not just a box fan sitting on the window
sill for maximum effect.

I don't know if any are still available but window fans with reversible
motors used to be quite common. I also had one with two fans so you could
set one to blow each way but that was not very useful. I also had one where
the fan would swivel to aim the air inside or turn completely around to blow
out.

Someone in a review of a holmes twin fan, mentioned that the honeywell
could be set to both go inward or outward or only one fan at a time
etc..

I'm assuming they were referring to this honeywell(that i posted
earlier) http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HW-628-Twin-Window-Fan/dp/B0000CGQ=
