Solar Attic Fans

Why Your Attic Needs Ventilation

During summer months, attic temperatures can soar well above 120°F. This trapped heat radiates into your living space, forcing your air conditioning system to work harder and driving up your energy bills. In the winter, poor ventilation can cause warm, moist indoor air to collect in the attic, where it condenses on cooler surfaces. This moisture encourages mold growth, causes wood rot, and can damage insulation.

Without proper ventilation, you could face:

• Higher energy costs from overworked HVAC systems
  
• Shortened roof lifespan due to excessive heat exposure
  
• Mold and mildew growth from trapped moisture
  
• Ice dam formation in winter from uneven roof temperatures
  
  

A solar attic fan is a proactive solution that uses free solar energy to keep your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter.

How Solar Attic Fans Work

A solar attic fan is installed on your roof or gable and powered entirely by the sun. As the sun shines, the fan spins to pull hot, stale air out of your attic while drawing in cooler outside air through existing vents. This constant air exchange helps regulate attic temperature and humidity without adding a penny to your electricity bill.

Because they operate silently and require virtually no maintenance, solar attic fans are a set-and-forget solution that works year-round to protect your home.

Solar Attic Fans and Roof Health
