Solar powered attic fan

Solar powered attic fanA solar powered attic fan is the best type of attic fan, but the question is: should you really install a fan in your attic in the first place?

The reasons for installing a fan are simple: namely, to lower your air conditioning costs and to lower moisture levels in the air (which can lead to water damage and also musty smells and allergies from mildew and mold).

But will an attic fan, solar powered or otherwise, really keep your air conditioning costs down? The answer depends on how well sealed and insulated your attic is. A solar powered attic fan will keep your attic cool (and thereby keep the rest of your house cool) if it is only drawing in air from the outside. If, however, your attic is not well-sealed, it may draw into it air-conditioned air from your house, and this would raise, not lower your energy costs.

And if the fan is drawing in air from the outside as it should, it will not be as effective at keeping moisture out, either, if you live in a humid climate -- it would bring that humid, moist air right into your attic.

So, in sum, if you do not live in a humid climate and if your attic is well-sealed and insulated, then using a fan can be a very wise investment. And if you do decide to use a fan, be sure that it is a solar powered attic fan -- there is no good reason to use energy when you are trying to lower your energy costs! Also, a solar fan is easy to install -- it does not need to be connected to the grid system.

And you will not have to worry about contributing to harmful emissions, either.
