Product Spotlight: Solar Attic Fan

So many of your design decisions are dictated by the weather. When it's warm enough to leave windows open, you do your indoor painting. As it warms up, you realize the time has come to explore new cooling and ventilation options. You're feeling the spring weather roll in with strong force. The heat is lingering, and you know that within a month or so the heat will be reaching levels pushing discomfort...Now is the time to plan ahead.

Beat the heat, cool your hot attic, and save on your energy bills with the solar-powered Fan-Attic! The Fan-Attic uses solar power to ventilate hot air from your attic before it has a chance to increase your home's temperature.


One of our most popular fixes for ventilation is installation of a solar attic fan! Available in both "Small" and "Large", the fan uses a small solar panel (a photovoltaic cell) to create electricity from the sun that runs the mechanism to spin the fan that sucks hot air from the top of your home. Without needing any electricity, the Solar Attic Fan has a sensor that knows when your attic space is warm, and kicks into "on" mode. During the day, the fan uses solar electricity to expel warm air from your attic or crawl space, and at night it operates to ventilate and remove moist air in the space. With a small investment of $350-$499 (depending on whether or not you purchase the large or small attic fan unit) your return on investment will be that and more - without using any electricity to operate, and by dropping your cooling costs considerably, these small fans pay for themselves quite quickly!

Besides the monetary savings, you'll notice a change in comfort in the upper levels of your home, and you'll better protect the integrity of your home's building structure. Stop into 'g' to learn more about these nifty gadgets and order yours today!
