Solar Attic Fans in Port Charlotte, FL

We Didn’t Sell Him More Insulation Because He Didn’t Need It
One thing I appreciated about this job…
Daniel already had insulation in the attic.
A lot of companies would’ve just blown more on top because that’s the easy sale.
There wasn’t any reason to.
The insulation was doing what it was supposed to do.
The attic just couldn’t get rid of the heat.
You notice it after you’ve been up there a minute
This house in Port Charlotte has a fairly low-pitched roof.
You don’t have to be up there very long before you realize the heat has nowhere to go.
Everything just kind of sits.
The insulation wasn’t the issue.
Air movement was.
Some houses are like that.
We talked through a couple of options
Daniel wanted to know what actually made sense.
No point spending money twice.
We landed on installing two solar attic fans instead of adding insulation that wasn’t going to change anything.
Each fan moves about 1,550 cubic feet of air every minute, so together they move a surprising amount of hot air out of the attic during the day.
That’s really what this house was missing.
Coastline Roofing handled the install
We supplied both solar attic fans and coordinated everything with Coastline Roofing for the installation.
I always like projects where everyone communicates.
Makes life easier for the homeowner.
You don’t have three companies pointing fingers if someone has a question.
It all just happened the way it was supposed to.
Daniel sent this after everything was finished
A couple days later we saw his review come through.
“Koala coordinated the install of 2 solar attic fans on my home. They were professional and responsive throughout the installation process.”
Short review.
But it pretty much covered the job.
Every attic doesn’t need the same thing
This one didn’t need another inch of insulation.
It needed ventilation.
That’s why we always look at the whole attic before recommending anything.
Sometimes the answer is insulation.
Sometimes it’s air sealing.
Sometimes it’s ventilation.
And every once in a while the best recommendation is simply don’t spend money on something you don’t need.
