Solar attic fan is the ultimate simple and cost effective solution for a well known problem that many home owners are facing every day. Moisture and mold destroys slowly but effectively the house infrastructure. Solar attic fan can fight this irritating problem.
You are well familiar with the fact that hot air is lighter then cold air and therefore goes up. During the day, the sun hit your walls and roof, this heat inside your house is aggregated and eventually is trapped in your attic which is the highest place in your house and this hot energy has nowhere to go.
That trapped heat in your attic is “great” condition to moisture and the development of mold. If you have an attic solar fan then it will “push” away all the trapped hot air and helps the humidity to spread away and will remove all those optimal conditions to any mold development.
Another reason and great advantage for using an attic solar fan is that you don’t have to deal with wires. This is a huge advantage, usually when we have a new electric machine then we have two options:
* Wires inside the walls – meaning that we have to open a tunnel through the wall. No one likes this option
* Wires are seen and exposed on the walls – not elegant and absolute compromising way.
So, when you use the attic solar fan, you avoid this annoying problem with an elegant solution.
The solar attic fan gets its power from the sun through solar panels on the roof which is a renewable source of energy and has zero usage costs unlike on-grid electricity. It is important to make sure to use a solar attic fan that provides a constant equal pressure of air that will evacuate all vapor and heat from all those pockets that it was trapped in.
