Attic Fan Insulation

Improve Your Home’s Attic Ventilation

Attic fans are designed to regulate the temperature and moisture levels in your attic by exhausting hot and/or humid air and drawing in cooler, drier air through intake vents. We’re experts in helping you find the right attic fan for your home. Our attic fans:
  • Reduce Attic Temperatures: In hot climates, attic temperatures can exceed outdoor temperatures by 50°F or more, putting a burden on your HVAC, increasing utility bills, and making your home too hot for comfort.
  • Prevent Moisture Accumulation: In colder climates, moisture from the living space can condense in the attic, leading to mold growth and structural damage.
Before we recommend an attic fan, we perform a thorough evaluation as part of our free in-person estimate:
  • We Inspect Existing Ventilation: We check for adequate intake ventilation and existing outflow ventilation like soffit, ridge, or gable vents.
  • We Take Detailed Measurements: We calculate the attic’s air volume to determine your fan’s ventilation power requirements. We may make adjustments to your fan’s recommended CFM rating based on steep roofs or especially hot climates and roof sun exposure.
  • We Evaluate Your Attic’s Current Condition: We want to make sure your attic fan will give you the results you expect, so we may make recommendations based on existing insulation, or if we find potential debris leftover from the roof being installed, signs of rodent incursions or pest infestations, mold and mildew presence, or materials deemed no longer safe for home construction like asbestos.
  • We Inspect Supporting Structures in Detail: We ensure the roof or gable can support your recommended fan, and we plan wiring routes and access points. We also comply with local building codes and we can assist in getting required building permits.

During your free estimate we take the time to understand your property and attic in detail so that we can recommend the right fan for your home, we can correctly estimate how long the job will take, and so that we can equip our crew correctly for the job.

Selecting The Right Attic Fan

When we help you with a recommended attic fan we factor in:

  • Your goals and budget.
  • Required fan CFM (cubic feet per minute), a measure of the amount of air the fan is rated to move.
  • Thermostat and humidistat controls.
  • Smart controls that integrate with existing home automation systems.
  • Decibel ratings for low noise.
  • Requirements for specialized vibration dampening mounts.

We help guide you through all these options and more.

Insulation Commandos want you to get the attic fan that works for your needs, and we aren’t incentivized to sell you a fan that doesn’t make sense for your needs or budget.
