Attic Fans, What's the big deal!

"I just do not see what the big deal about attic fans are! They such my electricity and create noise."

You are so wrong! Attic fans actually save you energy and money.

With the summer sun beating down on your roof, you attic can get very hot. That heat (I do not care how good your insulation is) will transfer into your house. It puts the extra load on your HVAC unit to keep it comfortable. Translating to a higher electric bill.

There is a certain amount of moisture that creeps in with the humidity and weather. The Attic fan can regulate that moisture and exhaust it outside. Where it belongs! Moisture is one of the worst things that you can have in your house.

Attic fans also preserves and lengthen the life of your roof. They are designed to protect your house from moisture and the damaging sun. The heat that your roof is subjected to is incredible. An attic fan exhausts that heat and actually cools the roof.
