Does your home still feel hot even though your AC is working overtime? The problem might be your attic. In summer, attic temperatures can skyrocket to 150°F — and you need proper ventilation to prevent this trapped heat from seeping into your home and hindering your cooling efforts.
This is where a quiet attic fan can help. An attic exhaust fan will improve ventilation and remove the warm air from removing hot air from the attic. This reduces heat transfer to the rest of your house, resulting in cooler and more comfortable living areas.
Still not sure about getting one? This blog is for you. Discover how a quiet attic fan can improve your home’s airflow and what makes it a smart investment.
Efficient
cooling
When your attic lacks proper ventilation, warm air gets trapped and has nowhere to go but through your roof. That's where an attic exhaust fan comes in — it actively removes that hot air to allow your air conditioning to cool your home much more efficiently. And it's not just for summer; in winter, an attic exhaust fan helps minimize freezing temperatures in the attic, which improves the effectiveness of your heating system. All of these benefits ultimately help you save energy and reduce your utility bills.
Prolong the lifespan of your HVAC system.
Unregulated temperatures in your attic will cause your HVAC system to work overtime. As the quiet attic fan improves airflow and removes heat, your A/C ducting becomes cooler. This allows your system to run more efficiently. Plus, with a well-ventilated attic, you won't need to run your air conditioner constantly, which translates to savings on your energy bills. And because your AC isn't working as hard, you'll extend its lifespan and reduce wear and tear on its parts.
Protect your home and belongings.
Installing an attic exhaust fan can also safeguard your property, saving you more money down the road. How?
Firstly, it helps prevent roof damage. Without proper ventilation, an attic can become a virtual oven that subjects your roofing materials to extreme temperature fluctuations. This constant expansion and contraction can lead to premature cracking, warping, and shingle damage. By maintaining a more consistent temperature, an attic exhaust fan effectively extends your roof’s lifespan and prevents costly repairs.
Secondly, if you utilize your attic for storage, ventilation will keep your belongings safe. Extreme heat and humidity create an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can damage stored belongings and even compromise structural integrity. A quiet attic fan actively circulates air to prevent these issues and protect your valuables.
Improve indoor air
By minimizing mold and mildew
growth in the attic, you're also reducing the risk of these issues spreading to
other areas of your home, creating a healthier living environment for your
family.
An attic exhaust fan can expel stagnant and damp air to ensure the airflow in your home is healthy and fresh.
Choosing and installing an attic fan
Ready to install a quiet attic fan? Before you do that, take the time to ensure that your home has adequate roof venting. We recommend having at least one square foot of attic vents for every 300 square feet of attic area. Many homes already have roof vents, but it’s always best to double-check before you buy an attic exhaust fan from us.
Choosing an attic fan
We carry attic fans in two basic configurations. One is a wired type that runs on your home’s electricity, and the other is a solar-powered version that relies on the sun’s energy. Electric-powered fans will keep running even when the sun is out. In contrast, solar-powered ones will stop running when it gets dark.
Maximize sustainable power with solar attic fans.
Some solar attic fans come with an AC/DC inverter for round-the-clock cooling. The built-in inverter in the 14” Solar Attic Fan with a 40W Panel (1092 CFM) will make it switch to electricity when the sun sets. Plus, it has a built-in preset thermostat that turns it on automatically at 88 degrees and off at 77 degrees.
Choose energy-saving, electric-powered attic fans.
If you prefer your quiet attic fan to run on electricity, look for an energy-saving model with an electronic commutated motor (ECM), so it doesn’t compromise airflow while keeping your energy bills in check. You’ll find that feature in models like the Smart Energy Saver Attic Roof Fan AFR SMT ES-2.0. It consumes minimal energy while ensuring optimum efficiency and performance.
Ensure quiet performance
Are you worried about the attic exhaust fan being too noisy or vibrating too much and disturbing your neighbors? That’s not an issue with the latest models, such as the Smart Energy Saver Attic Roof Fan (AFR SMT ES-2.0). It runs whisper-quiet, with an advanced design that reduces noise and vibrations for a peaceful home environment. Plus, it won’t disturb the neighbors!
Easy installation
Installing a quiet attic fan is easy. It comes with user-friendly instructions and can be set up in a few steps. Some models are plug-and-play and lack complex wiring, like this Smart Professional Attic Gable Fan with Smart Control (2860 CFM).
