What About Ventilation as an Energy Saving Approach?
Sellers Answers
VENTILATION
Attic fans and turbines helps regulate the temperature in your attic by exhausting excessive heat directly to the outside of the home. Turbines are passive, make no noise, and cost nothing to operate. I like them better than thermostatically controlled electric fans.
Ridge vents help provide air circulation in the attic and allows for excessive attic heat to escape through the top of the roof. Soffit vents, usually found along the bottom perimeter of the attic space, work well in conjunction with ridge vents to promote the circulation of attic air. Make sure, however, that your soffits are clean and free from obstructions like bird and squirrel nests.
Any of the above, or combination thereof, should certainly provide some relief for your home and pocketbook as you endure the summer heat. As always, I’m ready to help you with any questions you might have regarding roofs, ventilation, and attics; as well as, referring knowledgeable and competent vendors who can help you with the same.
