The Solar Ventilation Fan is an
economically sensible way to
move air and reduce climate
control costs. During the
summer, attic temperatures can
climb as high as 150oF.
The heat causes the attic air to
expand, causing downward
pressure that will force heated
air into the living space.
This air flow results in higher
cooling costs and increased wear
and tear on an air conditioning
unit. During the cold
winter months, the ventilation
system reduces the build-up of
attic moisture. Untreated,
this moisture can result in wet
insulation, cracking plaster,
peeling paint, roof damage and
mildew buildup. The Solar
Ventilation Fan begins operation
at dawn and slows the rate of
heat build-up during the day.
Traditional AC powered units do
not activate until the
temperature reaches an average
of 104oF, requiring the unit to
operate at excessive speeds to
adequately cool the space.
