Save money using Attic Fans to cool the Entire Home.
 
Attic fans can be lifesavers during the summer months. It is not unusual for attic temperatures to soar above 170 degrees during the hottest part of the summer. One of the items used extensivley to fight these high temperatures is the ridge vent. Rige vents can disperse heat more effectively than the attic fan alone.  Not only can these attic fans reduce the temperature of the attic,  additionally they provide ventilation for the entire house.  This makes the overall temperature of the house more comfortable throughout the summer months..

During the summer,  built up heat in your attic can react like a giant radiator and spill over into the rest of your home causing an increase in your utility bills due to the need for additional air conditioning.  During the winter months the attic is certainly cooler, and increased moisture can result in mildew,  mold,  floorboard and beam damage.

The most effective way to solve these problems is thru simple ventilating.  Natural ventilation using attic fans can increase air flow significantly.  When the air in the attic hits pre-set temperatures the fan will remove the hot air and pull in the cooler air.  During winter months the humidistat will remove moisture in order to perevent dampness and moisture accumulation. 

Attic fans can be designed to ventilate your entire house. Some times central air can be expensive and inefficient, especially in older homes. Attic fans sometimes work on the same principle as opening a window, pulling in the cooler outside air and moving it through the entire house. The newest invention in heating and cooling is the solar attic fan. These fans are installed on roof tops and collect natural energy from the sun.  The use of solar power to cut down on utility costs is enviromentally friendly and reduces overall costs.
