The Importance of Solar Attic Fans in Baltimore
During the summer months, attics turn into mini saunas as heat rises from the home and gets trapped in the attic alongside moisture that collects due to high humidity levels.
If you have a well-insulated attic, you might think that this isn't anything to worry about, as the insulation should keep the heat out of your main living area while trapping your air conditioning inside.
Excessive heat and humidity in your attic can do a lot more damage than you think, from making insulation less effective to actively damaging your attic and roofing. This can lead to costly repairs and skyrocketing air conditioning bills. Thankfully, there is a simple fix to this problem, ventilation.
What is a solar attic fan?
Solar attic fans are ventilation fans that are powered by built-in solar panels. The fans pull heat and moisture out of your attic and vent it outdoors, continually reducing the buildup of heat and humidity in your home.
Benefits of a solar attic fan
- It removes excess moisture
- It can extend the life of your roof
- It can improve the efficiency of your air conditioning
Solar attic fans cost a little bit more than traditional roof vents. However, they offer numerous cost-saving advantages that can more than offset the initial cost of the device. They are more powerful than a traditional wind-powered vent, which means they will vent more heat and thus drive down cooling costs more.
