Proper Attic Ventilation - Summer Heat

Heat Rises. Rising heat will get trapped in the attic if proper ventilation is not in place. Attic ventilation includes:

• Fans (Roof, Peak, Whole House)
• Vents (Soffit, Peak, Roof or Ridge)
• Windows

Excessive heat, without ventilation, can lead to mold or delaminated sheathing.

Manual Solutions - Open the windows periodically for ventilation. Clear clutter or blockage from vents.

Unassisted Solutions - Add vent or fan. Attic fans with a thermostat & humidistat help eliminate damaging moisture & heat.
