A phenomenon called oppression creates hot air in your attic, raising the temperature 40 to 50 degrees in a shingled roof attic. This can cause your home’s temperature to become 12 to 15 degrees warmer than necessary. That is where solar electric attic fans can save the day.
When Florida’s sun beats down on your shingled roof, especially in the hot summer months, that radiant heat gets absorbed through your roof and spreads throughout your attic. This heat gain isn’t stopped by your insulation. Instead, it is absorbed by it. It is then conducted by interior ceilings, making your home’s temperature rise. Sure, you can turn down the thermostat to cool your home, but then you are adding substantial cost to your energy bill – and with today’s energy prices, that can be quite an expense.
Talk to us about our solar electric attic fans that qualify for a 30% Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit. This silent device goes on at dawn and off at dusk, and exchanges the air in your attic before the day’s temperature’s spikes, keeping your attic 30 to 40 degrees cooler. Plus, any humidity from the evening that may have come into your home is eliminated before heat enters your home, which nixes the combination of heat and moisture that leads to mold and mildew. We have seen attic temperatures drop up to 50 degrees in the summer – can you imagine what kind of effect that has on the rest of your home? The energy savings can be as much as 30 percent! And though the heat isn’t as powerful during the cooler months, we do tend to have a lot of moisture in the air. A solar electric attic fan will help keep your attic dry, reducing mold and mildew, without causing your home to lose heat.
Not only can it save you money on your power bills, but a solar electric attic fan can also save wear and tear on your air-conditioning unit. Because you are keeping your home cooler, you have to run your unit less, which can add to its life expectancy and mean lower maintenance costs..
Yet another
benefit to solar electric attic fans is that they can even qualify you for a home tax credit. By keeping your attic, and thus your home, cooler, you need to rely less on your air-conditioning unit. As a result, you are reducing your carbon footprint and making your home more energy-efficient. Ask us whether those savings would qualify you for the tax credit..
And what about your roof, itself? Roofing materials are broken down in the sun’s heat, but a solar electric attic fan keeps not only your attic but your roof cooler. What does that mean for you? A longer roof life, which can save you a lot of money in the long run..
