Installing and Using Attic Fans To Go Green

You can have some pretty simple needs as far as attic fans go. You just want a little bit of extra help so that your air conditioning unit is not an being overused. You simply need someone to install an attic fan and you don't need to think about it too much or get too involved.

However, attic fans can also be extremely powerful. Depending on what kind that you installed, you can use them instead of air conditioning. We learned about this from some of our clients that live in the deep south. In the summertime, you can open your windows when it is nice and cool outside at night. You turn on the fan and it pulls out all of the hot air trapped in the home. In the early morning, it you close the window and turn off the fan. It is helpful if you have ceilings and that are higher than eight foot and it also helps if you have a dehumidifier and at least one air conditioning window unit.

One of our clients that grew up in Kentucky said her family never had an air conditioner and the temperature was often above 100 degrees for weeks in August and September. She said a a helpful part of this attic fan success was that her home was built around a lot of tall trees that shade of the home and there were full size porches on the southern exposure and eastern exposure side of the house. The house was also well insulated and airtight. This combination produces a cooler home. If you're looking for long-term environmental solutions like this one, we're here to help! The Home Center Of West Michigan is here to help you to streamline projects that will help you to have less of a carbon footprint on our earth.
