Solar Attic Fans

Here is an item which is rather inexpensive, and really can make a difference. Let’s think for a moment about how your attic is set up. Most of us give it no thought at all. Who wants to go up there? Good thought. Most attics are very unpleasant because…

Passive Vent Insulation

The roof is up and the insulation is down. Heat of course is a rising sort of thing, so the main part of the house stays nice and cool with its protective blanket of insulation above – but the attic turns into an oven, with the passive vent being, well, passive. The solar attic fan takes the passive part out of the venting of the attic. When the sun comes out and starts to heat up the attic, it also activates the solar panel on top of the unit. With that, the fan starts turning, and the air starts moving through the enclosed space. Let’s take a sunny hot day in Arizona. It is 100°F outside, and a normal attic could easily hit 150°F. With the solar fan in operation, the air in the attic is constantly circulated and is “cooled” down to the outside air temp of 100°. Not a temperature the Queen would like to spend much time in as sweating profusely can be so unladylike, but 50° cooler than it would be otherwise. With that advantage, perhaps the air conditioning unit in the house would have to turn on 45 times during the day rather than the normal 50.

Solar Attic Fan Instalation

Specific numbers are hard to come by for this unit, but those who have them generally love them. Solar attic fans are highly recommended because they are inexpensive and can make a real difference in power savings (which of course means money savings as well.)
