Solar Attic Fans – Install Now to Prevent Costly Repairs and Expenses from Ice Dams

Solar Powered Attic Fans Reduce Damaging Moisture and Attic Heat

New home construction and older properties may have insufficient ventilation and air exchange. This causes damaging humidity to accumulate, migrate upwards and collect in roofing, insulation and plywood building structures. Besides the damage to these materials, mold forms and circulates throughout the home’s interior, contributing to a variety of health problems for people and pets living in that environment.

With insufficient ventilation, heat accumulates in the attic and is transferred into your home’s living spaces. Not only does this contribute to higher cooling costs in the summer, this build up of heat in the winter allows snow to melt and refreeze as temperatures increase and decline. The accumulation and refreezing of moisture in the roof eaves and valleys produces destructive ice dam formation.

Both of these problems are solved with the proper installation of Solar Star solar attic fans in sunny roof locations of your home. These revolutionary attic fans can actually replace existing roof vents through passive and powered design choices. Whirlybirds, dormer and powered vent styles can convert existing passive vents into quiet, eco-friendly solar powered solutions that eliminate harmful heat build up and damaging moisture.
