Attic Ventilation

Atlanta Attic Ventilators

Did you know that during the hot summer months in Georgia, attic air can easily reach 150 degrees Fahrenehit or more? When excess heat is trapped in your attic, it can have an overall negative affect on your home. 

So what's the solution to removing that hot attic air? An attic ventilator! 

An "inefficient" attic - one that holds too much heat or moisture - is capable of costing homeowners thousands of dollars due to damages or excessive energy costs. To counteract this inefficiency, proper attic ventilation, along with insulation, is often used to provide another barrier between the home and the outside elements. 

Another important consideration for investing in an attic ventilator is extending the life of your roof in your Atlanta home. When an attic becomes too hot, and that hot air is trapped in the attic for an exteded amount of time, the heat can begin to break down asphalt shingles. This is one of the main reasons for pemature shingle failure. Making matters even worse is that shingle manufacturers will void a warranty if there is not adequate attic insulation.

Atlanta attic ventilation is also helpful in keeping the moisture content equal with the outside environment; meaning condensation and mildew are less likely in a properly ventilated attic. Moisture and mildew can cause health problems, especially if members of the home have allergies to mold and mildew. Not to meniton, the costly affect moisture can have on the wood in your attic.

An attic ventilator will make your home more comfortable, substantially lower your energy bills, extend hte life of your roof, and increase the life of your A/C units!
