Attic Fan: easy and compact ways to keep the attics cool

It is kind of an exhaust ventilation fan which regulates the temperature level of an attic by dumping the hot air outside. So, periodic and proper professional clean-ups are mandatory to maintain safe and healthy attics. Attic Prime insulation contractors, we apply tried-and-tested control methods which have been proven to be highly effective in dealing with these issues.

Droppings and other residues left behind by the unwanted-dwellers are very hazardous. Materials such as bat guano, raccoon feces, and other pest contaminants require intensive cleaning and proper sanitation. They have to be cleaned, thoroughly, by professionals in order to be eliminated the germs completely. Additionally, molds and fungus are very hard to get rid off due to their fast multiplying capacity from the smallest of spores.

How does it function?

Attic Fans are small fans that are operated by a thermostat. The can be gable mounted or can be mounted on roofs, as per the requirements of the client and the attic structure.

When the temperature reaches beyond a certain permitted (predetermined and customized in some cases) limit, the fan gets switched on. Attic Fans are known to lower electricity consumption. They pull out the warm air through the attic and prevent heat transfer from taking place, which makes cooling easier. Retention of the cool temperature is also supported.

Attic fans are very appropriate for houses in hot regions, especially for the burning summers. They enable the reduction of electricity bills and have affordable attic fan installation and maintenance rates.

Advantages of Attic Fans

Installing an attic fan has many benefits like it lowers the electricity consumption by supporting fast cooling by pulling warm air out of the dead space and preventing heat transfer.

The sun heated roofs (especially of dark colours) transfer heat to the air inside the attic and when that air circulates everywhere inside the attic space, a rise in the temperature level is inevitable. Having all of the hot air lingering above the air-conditioned environment inside your home will also cause the cooling system to work even harder in order to meet up with the temperature requirements.

Attic Fans very compact and is cost friendly, so it’s readily affordable and easy to maintain but their biggest advantage is their sustainability.

Disadvantages of Attic Fans

Power attic ventilators can cause problems even without air conditioning. One of the problems would be that, they suck in the moist and moldy air up from the crawl space into the house and allows it to circulate in the whole house resulting in moldy-scented air and a general damp environment.

Another serious problem would be back-drafting a water heater and pulling in carbon monoxide (CO is a very poisonous gas) inside the house. These are real problems with real and easy solutions. To get rid of these problems contact expert technicians like Attic Prime.
