Attic Fan Services

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, correctly estimate how long the job will take, and equip our crew properly with help from our professional attic fan installation services.

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.

We 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.

An insulation contractor typically offers attic insulation installation, insulation upgrades, insulation removal, and air sealing. These services help reduce heat transfer through the attic and improve overall home comfort, especially during warmer parts of the year.

It depends on the room and space, and there are important steps to follow and considerations to make sure your insulation work actually gets the results you need:

  • Of course old insulation should be removed if it’s wet, moldy, or damaged. Contaminated insulation can harbor pests or reduce indoor air quality, so it's crucial to address underlying issues before proceeding.
  • Before installing new insulation, inspect the area for air leaks. Gaps around vents, electrical wiring, and plumbing should be sealed to maximize energy efficiency.
  • The type and thickness of batt insulation depend on your climate zone and the area being insulated. Another type of insulation like blown-in insulation may perform better for your unique home.
  • When installing batts, they should fit snugly between studs or joists without being compressed. Gaps or improper fit can reduce effectiveness.
  • Make sure the area is free from moisture problems, to avoid mold growth and reduced performance from damp insulation. Adding a vapor barrier may be necessary.

We use advanced equipment and techniques to custom-tailor solutions for every home. Even if you like to DIY we're happy to come out and give you a free inspection and estimate for the opportunity to let the pros handle making sure you get the best results.

While not a direct air filter, properly installed insulation can reduce drafts and infiltration of outdoor pollutants, pollen, and dust. In conjunction with proper air sealing, insulation supports improved indoor air quality by limiting the pathways through which contaminants might enter. This makes it easier for your home’s ventilation and filtration systems to maintain a cleaner indoor environment.

Yes. Today’s market includes options like cellulose (often made from recycled paper) and natural wool. These materials can offer thermal performance comparable to traditional materials while also reducing environmental impact. They can appeal to homeowners interested in lowering their carbon footprint without compromising on home comfort.
