Local Pros Specialize In Saving On Energy Costs
Your home’s attic has to be properly designed and vented in order for your home comfort system to work correctly. As you likely know, it can get extremely hot in an attic in the summer months, and the heat which accumulates in the attic can make the entire home warmer and/or cause your AC to struggle to keep up. Fortunately, there is a great solution to this issue in the form of solar powered attic fans.
Our team of local professionals excels in all things related to home efficiency, and we have helped many people save on their utility costs through services like expert HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance, solar panel installation, insulation installation, and more.

Attic Fans Promote Air Flow
While sometimes overlooked, the “V” in HVAC stands for ventilation. Many people focus on how well their system heats or cools, but without proper ventilation your home will never be as comfortable as it should. The attic is a place where ventilation is key, because air must flow through it to keep temperatures from skyrocketing in the summer months. An attic fan works to aid in ventilation, and its main job is to keep air circulating so temperatures can’t get too high.
Solar Power Compounds Savings
Because the fan causes air to flow in and forces warm air out, your AC unit doesn’t have to strain to combat heat accumulating in your home. This results in energy savings, and solar powered attic fans are a fantastic choice because you aren’t using any additional power to make them run. This means you save energy without using energy, allowing utility savings to compound.
Help Your AC Stay In Great Condition
Saving on energy costs is not the only perk of lessening the burden on your AC system. When an attic is extremely warm, the heat can seep down into the home and cause the AC to work overtime to compensate. This not only runs up your power bill, it also accelerates wear and tear on the unit itself. Installing an attic fan will allow the AC to run as intended, and not at redline levels for extended periods of time. The result is a longer lifespan for the unit.
