Attic temperatures can get up to 150ºF without an attic fan.

Attic fans create a positive air-flow through your attic that does not rely on wind or require excessive passive venting. Excessive passive venting can cause excessive moisture infiltration in the form of snow or rain. The attic fan is normally mounted up on the roof of the home toward the back about two feet down from the peak. It goes on and off automatically with a thermostat, so it only runs when it is beneficial. The attic fan has a flashing that fits in with the shingles and is water-proof. Attic fans use less than 300 Watts, and offer these important advantages:

• Lowers upstairs room temperatures by up to 10º.
  
• Lengthens roof life by keeping shingles cooler.
  
• With an optional humidistat, keep attics dry during winter months.
  
• Saves up to 30% on air-conditioning costs.

The exact savings obtained depends on several factors like: the color of your roof, if the home is shaded, the amount of insulation you have, and the efficiency of your cooling system. Ideally, an attic fan installation will pay for itself within 3 years. We use high quality attic fans made with heavy screens to keep pests out. Our fans are made of all metal parts and have maintenance free motors and thermostats. We carry 2 types of attic fans: Roof top and gable-end.
