Proper Ventilation

Proper ventilation conserves energy all year long, while improper attic ventilation is one of the most common energy-wasters in homes today.

During hot summer months, it is not uncommon for a poorly ventilated attic to reach temperatures between 140 and 150 degrees. This superheated air not only speeds the deterioration of paint, roofing, and insulation, but penetrates down through the ceiling to heat the entire living area.

Proper ventilation removes superheated attic air. Therefore, air conditioning systems dont have to work as long or as hard. Cooling bills will be lower, and the cooling system will last longer.

During cold winter months, attic ventilation is equally important to reduce attic condensation. A home relies on insulation to help retain heat produced by a heating system; if insulation in an improperly ventilated attic becomes wet from moisture it becomes practically useless. This allows heat to escape through the attic, a waste of money and energy. To ensure proper attic ventilation it is important to keep air moving a complete exchange of attic air should take place every six minutes.
