Solar attic fans can dramatically impact the cooling of your home.
In today’s day and age, there is no arguing that solar power is a clean, cheap, and efficient way to power our homes. In addition to having your basic appliances hooked up to solar power, there is another device that you may have not thought of using before. Solar attic fans are super popular with homeowners who want to lower their house’s temperature, keep their attic dry and ventilated, and preserve the structure and integrity of their roof. Attic ventilation is very important, as it can help protect what you store up there and can even prevent the growth of mold and moss. There are several benefits to installing solar attic fans in your home.
Free and Easy
Since these attic fans utilize solar power, they are totally free to operate. Harness the sun’s infinite energy to conserve power and save your hard-earned money. Reduce your fertility bills while keeping your attic cool and ventilated too.
Solar attic fans are quick and easy to install because they do not require any wiring or serious structural work to put in your roof. Usually, a trained professional can install a solar attic fan in about half an hour.
Active Cooling
Instead of attic vents that allow air to flow through them, solar powered attic fans actively push hot air out of the attic which creates a negative pressure to draw in cool air. This keeps cool, clean air cycling through your attic, which decreases both attic and household temperatures.
Save Money and Protect Your Roof
Some solar powered fans quality for a tax credit on your tax return because they make your home more efficient and environmentally friendly. Not only do you save energy and help the environment by installing a solar attic fan, but you also get the added bonus of a reward on your taxes.
Excess heat and humidity can cause a large imbalance between external and internal air temperatures, which can lead to some expensive roof damage. Installation of solar attic fans prevent this damage from even happening and slow the development of mold and mildew in the hotter months of the year. In addition to this, solar attic fans also prevent ice dams from forming during the winter.
