Save up to 30% on your energy payments year round by installing solar attic vents in your home. During summer, these vents draw out the superheated air from inside the attic and replace it with cooler outdoor air. Solar attic vents are especially important during winter as they constantly exchange attic air which prevents moisture build up and excess heat. Additionally, installing a solar attic vent may qualify the homeowner for a Federal Solar Tax Energy Credit.
Solar attic vents work year round to save homeowners money and also protect the attic from moisture, mold, mildew, wood rot, ice dams and structural damages. In a home without solar attic vents, warm air rises to the attic and comes into contact with the cold underside of the roof which forms condensation. This condensation begins to form puddles in the attic which then seep down into the ceiling of the room below.
Mold may begin to form and blow through the home whenever the HVAC is running, causing the inhabitants to become sick. Also, the excess moisture buildup in the attic may cause wood rot and damages to the ceiling underneath. Once structural damages occur, the surrounding wood and drywall may need to be replaced and repainted.
Furthermore, when an attic is not properly vented icicles and ice dams begin to form on the eaves of the roof. Ice dams are formed when hot air rising in the unvented attic heats the snow on top of roof, which then trickles down to the gutters and freezes. Overtime large ice dams form, causing unsafe icicles and may even rip the gutters off the home.
Mold may begin to form and blow through the home whenever the HVAC is running, causing the inhabitants to become sick. Also, the excess moisture buildup in the attic may cause wood rot and damages to the ceiling underneath. Once structural damages occur, the surrounding wood and drywall may need to be replaced and repainted.
By properly venting an attic with solar vents, the home is healthier, protected from structural damages, moisture or mold is prevented and energy savings are established.
Solar powered attic vents keep a home cooler in summer by extracting superheated air from inside the attic and replacing it with cooler outdoor air. By keep the attic’s temperature down, less energy is needed to air condition the house, which saves money and extends the lifespan of the air conditioner.
After installing solar attic vents, the amount of natural resources used to cool the home is reduced and homeowners save 30% on their energy payments.
On average, installing two solar powered attic vents ensures adequate fresh air distribution throughout the entire attic, although larger homes may need more vents. For those living in a “Tiny Home” or other small living establishment, only one solar attic vent may be necessary.
