Solar Fans for Improving Attic Airflow

Koala Insulation of Greater Fort Worth is known as one of DFW’s leading insulation providers, but insulation is only one component of what we do for homeowners from towns such as Colleyville, Watauga and Bedford. While proper attic insulation is critical to achieving energy efficiency inside your home, there is another key element to consider: ventilation.

Controlled air flow allows hot, stuffy air in your attic to be exchanged with cool, fresh air from outdoors. There are two components of attic ventilation. Intake, achieved through soffit vents, pulls in cooler air from outdoors. Exhaust, created by attic fans, releases hot air from your attic.

Koala Insulation of Greater Fort Worth installs the highest quality solar attic fans that help keep your attic cooler, allowing less heat to radiate into your living space. This means more comfort during those hot summer (not to mention spring and fall) months in Texas, as well as lower electricity bills. Why are solar attic fans the best option on the market when it comes to attic ventilation?

• They’re 100% solar powered and don’t use any electricity.
• They allow your air conditioner to run less, greatly extending the life of your HVAC system and reducing your monthly bills.
• They improve air quality in your attic and reduce moisture levels, which helps prevent mold and mildew.

Summer may be over but we all know that fall in Texas still brings many warm days. Now is the perfect time to give us a call and learn more about the benefits of adding a solar fan to your home!
