Overview:

How we can help:  Here at Attic Air, we will send out a technician who has been installing attic and whole house fans for over 20 years. We will install a Certainteed Attic Fan or whole house fan. 

Certainteed Ventilation is the only manufacturer of attic fans and whole house fans that pays Attic Air 
labor and material to fix your fan if you have a problem. They are the only manufacture that backs their product this way.

Why do you need an attic fan? On a spring or summer day an attic can reach temperatures of 140 to 150 degrees. An attic fan will exhaust this hot air from your attic. The attic fan's thermostat is set at 90 degrees. When temperatures reach over 90 degrees the fan will activate and exhaust this air out of your attic. If you don't have an attic fan, this 140 to 150 degree heat transfers to your living area. An attic fan 
will decrease your living area temperature 7 to 12 degrees. This will allow your air conditioner to run less, thus saving you money. If you don't remove this heat it will bake your roof shingles. You can lengthen the life of your roof 4 to 5 years with an attic fan. Attic fans are also available with automatic humidistats. 
A humidistat will turn on the fan if relative humidity reaches 85 percent humidity. Homes normally produce an average of 22 pints of water per day. In winter this vapor is attracted to the colder air in the attic. Once
 it reaches the attic it condenses on the cold roof deck. This causes mold, mildew and roof deck rot. 
Mold and mildew greatly affect the quality of air in the home and roof deck rot can cause thousands of dollars of damage.

Attic fans...
-Save homeowners up to 30% on their cooling costs.
-Lower the temperature in homes 7 to 12 degrees.

According to studies by the Home Ventilation Institute homeowners may experience up to 30% savings
on air conditioning costs with a powered attic fan. ComEd indicates that air conditioners don't have to
run as often when not fighting a hot attic.

The National Bureau of Standards states attics can be 40 degrees hotter than outside air.
