Tip #38: ATTIC VENT FAN
When it’s 95 degrees outside, the temperature in your attic can be as high as 130 degrees. This layer of heat makes it more difficult to cool your living space. An attic fan – whether it’s at a window, gable vent, or through the wall or roof – can pull that hot, dead air out of the attic and reduce your attic temperature by as much as 35 degrees. Your air conditioner doesn’t have to run as often when it isn’t fighting the hot attic. With an attic fan, you also save on the amount of air conditioning equipment you need.

Attic fan cuts cooling costs
This winter’s freezing temperatures may leave you shivering and longing for the warm lazy days of summer, but don’t get caught in a Midwest heat wave unprepared.
While turning up the heat can help take the chill out of winter, living in a home without proper attic ventilation can make those summer days and nights hot, sticky, and unbearable.
“Poorly ventilated attics may reach temperatures as high as 150 degrees,” says Jet Fan Installations.
Not only the heat can kill you, though, Homeowners without adequate attic ventilation could be paying up to one-third more to cool their homes, not including the money spent to fight the effects of humidity and heat.
“Installing an attic fan will cool the hot air down so your air conditioner will have less work to do. Adding an attic fan along with your air conditioner can give you the most efficient cooling system,” Jet Fan said.
As for homes without air conditioners, there is still hope for beating the heat. Jet Fan Installations can install a whole house fan to circulate air from the windows and draw hot air out of the attic.
“People have a lot of concerns about energy conservation,” said Jet Fan. “We’re happy to talk to people over the phone.”
Jet Fan Installations will give a no-obligation estimate of the cost of the job and offers a two-year unconditional guarantee. For more information, call 1-800-JET-FAN3.
