 

In the
Spring and Summer
Reduces load on air conditioner
On hot summer days, an unventilated attic can reach
temperatures of up to 135 degrees F. This excessive heat
and humidity causes shingles to buckle. Heat radiates
through the ceiling and into your home, putting an
additional strain on your air conditioner. All these
problems cost you money and discomfort.
Prolongs air conditioner life
With attic ventilators, hot, humid air is pulled out of
your attic, lowering temperatures anywhere from 30 to 50
degrees F. Your air conditioner uses less energy and
lasts longer with fewer expensive repairs. You can save
up to 25% on the cost of cooling your home.
In the Fall and Winter
Protects roof
Removes moisture trapped in the attic that causes shingle
buckling and wood rot. Also, helps snow and ice to melt
evenly so it does not collect on the edge of the roof and
refreeze, causing damage to guttering.
Saves insulation
Removes moisture before it condenses in the attic and
settles in the insulation making the insulation
ineffective. If insulation is not protected by
ventilators, moisture accumulates on ceilings. This is a
cause of peeling paint, mildew and ceiling deterioration.
Attic ventilators will not be
effective if adequate outside air is not allowed to flow
through the attic. Sufficient louver area is necessary
and can be obtained through the use of soffit vents in
most cases.
