The Advantages of Proper Attic Ventilation

Prolong Life of Your Roof


The roofing underlayment under your roof shingles can also heat up when your attic heats up and become ineffective and brittle over time. You can save the expense of replacement and repairs and extend the life of your roof by lowering your attic temperature.


Enhance Your Home's Energy Efficiency


By keeping the air inside and the ductwork cooler, the reduced temperature in your attic will also assist your air conditioner. Reduced strain on your a/c unit and cooler air flowing through your roof ventilation systems will be the resulting effect.


Minimize Harmful Mildew and Mold Remove Moisture


In the winter, warm moist air collides with the cold underside of the roof and rises from the inside of your home.


Keeping your attic drier, and helping to prevent mildew and mold from ice damming on your roof by forming inside your attic and preventing the moist air from condensing on the surface Solar Attic Fans provide the air circulation.


Other troublesome problems can be caused by the moisture in the attic. Causing cracks and damage to the drywall inside your house, humidity can cause truss uplifts, sheetrock pops and saturated insulation.





Solar while saving money on electricity, to effectively ventilate your attic, solar powered gable vents and attic fans are both great ways. You can hire the mould cleaning service to clean the mold.


Cooling in the summer


Your attic's temperature can rise to 160° or more during the peak summer months. This heat build-up can then maximize the amount of electricity used by other cooling equipment and air conditioners and raise the temperature inside your home.


Installing a Solar Attic Fan will bring your attic's temperature down closer to the ambient outside temperature and help remove the heat build-up in your attic.


Prevent Ice Damming


The warmer attic air will melt the snow by heating the roof and it will drip to the leaves where it can form ice-dams under the leaves by refreezing as ice if you live in an area that has snow. Down to the ceiling and under the shingles into the attic, these ice-dams will cause water to work back up.
