Attic Fans
Why install an attic fan?
An attic fan is a ventilation device installed on your roof or gable that helps pull hot, humid air out of your attic and bring cooler, fresh air in. It can be electric or solar-powered, and it’s designed to improve airflow, reduce attic temperatures, and prevent moisture buildup.
In colder months, attic fans help expel humid air that can lead to mold, mildew, and wood rot. Furthermore, attic fans also reduce the risk of ice dams forming on the roof.
What are the benefits of installing an attic fan?
- Reduces attic temperatures by 20-50°F
- Helps lower energy bills
- Extends roof life
- Protects insulation and structural components
- Helps prevent mold and moisture damage
