An attic fan is a simple and a very cost efficient way to keep your home cool. It is an exhaust ventilation fan which regulates the heat level of a building’s attic by exhausting hot air.
It is a small fan that is operated by a thermostat. It can be gable mounted or roof mounted as per the requirements of the client and the attic space.
Whenever the temperature reaches beyond a certain limit, the fan gets switched on.
It can help you to lower your electricity consumption by pulling out the warm air out, through the attic and preventing heat transfer from taking place. The exhaust fan dumps the hot air outside and keeps the indoors cool.
Attic fans are very appropriate for houses in a hot climacteric zone, especially for the burning summers. It enables you to reduce your electricity bills and maintenance rates.
Installing an attic fan comes with many benefits like; it lowers the electricity consumption since it aids in fast cooling by pulling the warm air out of the dead space and preventing heat transfer. The sun will heat up your roof, especially if it is of dark colour, the roof will heat up and that heat will then be transferred towards the air in your attic and that air will be circulated throughout the house. Having all of the hot air lingering above the air-conditioned environment inside your home will also cause the cooling system to work even harder in order to meet up with the temperature requirements.
It is very compact and is cost friendly, so it’s easy to maintain.
Power attic ventilators can cause problems even without air conditioning. One of the problems would be that, they suck in the moist and moldy air up from the crawl space into the house and allows it to circulate in the whole house.
Another hazardous problem would be back-drafting a water heater and pulling in carbon monoxide ( a very poisonous gaseous waste) inside the house. These are real problems but they are easy to solve if are taken care of by expert technicians like that of Attic Boss.
Choosing the appropriate and the right service provider is very essential. A poorly installed fan would do more harm than good and on top of that, it would consume a lot more in maintenance and repairs and push up the utility bills indirectly.
