Collection: Eliminate Heat Using the Best Attic Exhaust Fans

During summer months, attic temperatures can get extremely hot, quickly reaching temperatures of one hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit.  

An attic exhaust fan will help to ventilate and remove warm air from your attic.  Before installing an attic exhaust fan, you should ensure that you have proper roof venting.  As a general rule, for every 300 square feet of attic area, you should have at least one square foot of attic vents.  Most homes have proper roof vents, but it is always good to double-check your home before installing an exhaust fan.

Attic fans are available in two basic configurations.  The first is a wired attic exhaust fan that is powered by your home's electricity.  The second type is a solar-powered attic exhaust fan that uses the sun's power to operate.  An electric powered fan can and will run continuously even after the sun has gone down. In comparison, a solar-powered fan will stop working once it gets dark.  

There are several benefits to installing an exhaust fan in your attic.  The first is it will reduce the heat that can cause damage to your roof.  Secondly, it will reduce the load on a central air conditioner, by keeping your a/c ducting cooler, which will allow for more efficient operation.  Finally, it will keep your living space cooler by reducing heat penetration from the attic.

We feature the Quiet Cool line of attic exhaust fans.
