Have you walked up to your attic this summer? Even on a moderately hot day, the temperature in an unfinished attic can soar to over 100 degrees. Is it any wonder that your air conditioning system is continuously running, trying to keep up with the heat? An attic fan can help regulate the temperature in your attic, reducing the chamber of hot air that can contribute to significantly higher energy bills during the summer months.

Benefits of Attic Fans
One of the primary benefits of using an attic fan is that it will help keep your living spaces cooler in the summer while using less energy. The air in your attic can become super-heated during the summer months, especially if you have a black asphalt roof absorbing the sun’s energy—making your air conditioner have to work harder to counter the effects of the hot air sitting above you. During an 80-degree day, your attic can reach temperatures of well over 100 degrees! An attic fan helps draw the hot air out of your attic, keeping your attic and living areas cooler.
Make Your Home More Cost-Efficient
Just a 10-degree reduction in your attic temperature can save you up to 30 percent on your cooling costs. Attic fans also help extend the life of your roof since they help dispel moisture and condensation, preventing mold and mildew from compromising the beams and shingles on your roof.
How Do Attic Fans Work?
Attic fans are installed in the gables of a house and help lower the temperature in the attic by drawing in cooler outside air and pushing out hot inside air. This action also works to suck out moisture that can accumulate in an attic, a situation that, left unchecked, can lead to mold and mildew problems. Such fans are generally powered by electricity.
