Attic Ventilation Installation

Solar Vents are our most in-demand attic ventilation product. Solar fans are very helpful in drawing hot air out of the attic in the summer months and moisture out of the attic in winter months. Solar vents are so popular here in Texas because they run on sunlight, unlike the power vents which run on electricity and increase your energy bill. It keeps the attic cool in the summer and dry in the winter. Proper ventilation enhances the performance of your insulation, extends the life of your HVAC unit and saves you, even more, money on energy bills.  Many people think that if the attic is sealed tightly from outside air, this would create the most energy-efficient attic, however, exactly the opposite is true. In order to meet building codes, and to ensure that you have an Energy Saving Attic® — proper airing is essential.

Our team uses soffit vents and ridge vents to pull air through the attic. This creates natural convection pulling air out of the attic via the ridge vents and solar fans, which in turn brings in fresh air from the outside through the soffits. This continuous movement of air requires no moving parts or energy.

• During the hot summer months, proper airing prevents heat build-up in the attic, thus reducing the stress on air conditioners.
• During the winter months, it’s important to remove the warm, moist air generated by laundry shoots, showers and cooking vents, etc… And recycle the air.

If this system is not working or is not properly installed, it can cause the air to stop, potentially trapping poor quality air in the attic and causing extensive damage to the roof and insulation over time.
