Turn your attic into a smart attic with a lifetime warranty. A solar attic fan removes that heated air and releases it outside before it can compound in your attic. This applies to an air sealed attic only. If the attic is not air sealed and a powered fan is running, there is a risk for negative pressure from the house to pull paid conditioned air into the vented attic.
Solar Attic Fan Installation Cost:
The estimated cost for a 40-watt solar attic fan with installation is $750. However, this price can vary and potentially rise if the installation involves pitched roofing.
Smaller, secondary vents draw cool air into your attic, which lowers your home’s overall temperature. When you don’t have a mass of super heated air in the top of your house, it won’t radiate through the rest of your home. This means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to cool your house, which will save you money.
Similar to roof vents, solar fans require attic access for installation and can only be added during your insulation job.
