Saving Money Is As Easy As 1, 2, 3:
1. Air, hot or cool, circulates throughout the attic.
2. Once you have installed your solar attic fan, it pulls the hot air through the fan and out of the attic.
3. The ambient air is drawn into the attic through the soffit vents because of the vacuum of the solar attic fan.
Especially in Texas, the temperature in your attic can exceed 160°. Small, passive roof vents are completely useless at dissipating the Texas heat and "whirly-birds" only work when the wind blows. The attic acts like a giant radiator, passing excess heat back into your living spaces and driving temperatures and cooling costs through the roof.
All year long-Trapped moisture wreaks its own brand of havoc. Everyday activities such as showering and cooking produce water vapor that migrates into the attic. This moisture promotes the growth of mold and mildew and, if it saturates your insulation, can lead to fungal decay and destruction of your roof frame and decking.
By using a solar-powered attic fan, your attic will be cool, fresh, and dry.
