Modern Attic Fan

That s where an attic fan comes in actively drawing the hot air out.

Modern attic fan.

If you re running an air conditioner you wouldn t want to have a whole house fan blowing that cooled air into your attic. Attic fans were majorly adopted before the modern air conditioning units came to existence. They assisted a lot in creating a comfortable environment at home. The modern fans that are energy saving have quality shutters that lock themselves when the fan is not operating avoiding the loss of heat when the fan is not working.

A powered attic ventilator or attic fan is a ventilation fan which regulates the heat level of a building s attic by exhausting hot air. The attic fan is normally mounted up on the roof of the home toward the back about two feet down from the peak. A thermostat is used to automatically turn the fan off and on while sometimes a manual switch is used. It is built with high quality materials and durable motor.

Ad these fans were the cooling method of choice before modern air. An attic fan can be gable mounted or roof mounted. Excessive passive venting can cause excessive moisture infiltration in the form of snow or rain. Modern building regulations say you must have roof vents but they re passive they don t do anything to create airflow.

Attic fans are a simple popular and cost effective solution to an overheated roof space. Although there are a lot of factors to consider before installing it can function well. Traditional attic fans are what most homeowners have in their homes when it comes to attic fans. These fans often come with a thermostat that can be set to when you want your attic fan to run and can push air at up to 2 000 cfm.

The amtrak 70 watt solar attic fan is one of the most impressive attic fans that i have found while looking for products to review. These fans push a lot of air are powerful and reliable. Ad the infrared rays from the sun are powerful. Attic fans create a positive air flow through your attic that does not rely on wind or require excessive passive venting.

I loved this ventilator because the 70 watt fan is a powerful fan that can cool a large space effectively. The attic fan can work with the modern air conditioning unit but only if you are in a closed room. The solar attic fans all moved less than 1 000 cubic feet of air per minute cfm and they did nothing to lower the temperature inside my own attic.
