Solar ventilation fans are designed to turn on when your attic reaches a certain temperature. For example, if you have set your system to turn on once the temperature in your attic reached 80 degrees, it will kick on and begin to cool the attic. After it has reached a cooler temperature that you have designated, such as 65 degrees, the fan will shut off. The solar ventilation system will continue to blow in the morning if the temperature has not yet reached 65 degrees but will shut off when it reached this temperature and won’t turn on again until the temperature in the attic is back to 80 degrees.

It is designed to suck the heat out of the attic and lower attic temperatures by as much as 50 degrees! Less heat in your attic means less work for your AC unit, allowing you to save as much as 30 percent of your cooling costs in summer. These systems are electricity free and can be installed in under an hour! Extend the life of your roof and save money with a solar ventilation system.

Expelling warm air is also a great way to prevent moisture in the attic and keep mold and mildew from growing. In winter, equalizing the temperature in both the home and attic is a great way to avoid ice dams forming, which could cost thousands of dollars in potential repairs to the roof.

As moisture levels rise in spaces like the attic, they can do some pretty expensive damage to the structure of your roof and the wood that surrounds your home. Solar ventilation will help combat that moisture build-up so that your home stays dry and doesn’t end up causing weak spots that could have been prevented. When in need of solar ventilation, our clients count on us to install with the precision that prevents unnecessary home improvement repairs due to excess moisture levels.
