Let Your Attic Breathe
Written By: Attic BreezeDate Published: 04/04/2025
Letting your attic breathe is an important part of maintaining a healthy and energy efficient home. As the sun heats your roof throughout the day, attic temperatures can reach over 150 degrees in the summer without proper ventilation.
When your attic can't breathe, the resulting trapped heat and moisture can cause numerous problems including higher electric bills, mold outbreaks, and, over time, roof deterioration. Attic Breeze solar attic fans offer the perfect solution to this ventilation problem by continuously removing attic heat and moisture throughout the day, and don't cost more to operate.
Working as a self-regulating system with your attic, the more intensely the sun beats down on your roof, the fast Attic Breeze solar attic fans remove hot air to cool your attic. And, when your attic is cooler, everything in your attic just works better!
Insulation Works Better. Attic insulation is the primary method builders use to keep heat from entering your home. This works great when the insulation is new, but, over time, excessive attic heat and moisture will degrade and compact insulation making it less effective at keeping the heat out of your attic and your home.
Attic Breeze solar attic fans help extend the life of your attic insulation by continuously removing attic heat and moisture from your attic throughout the day. By lowering the average temperature in your attic, your insulation actually works better and becomes more effective at reducing heat transfer into your home. And, when heat transfer is reduced, the result is a more comfortable home that requires less energy to cool.
HVAC is More Efficient. You may be surprised to know that the efficiency rating of your HVACY system (SEER rating) is only valid at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. As operating temperatures increase, the actual SEER rating of your HVAC equipment decreases.
For home that have HVAC equipment installed in the attic, your cooling system will use more energy to operate the hotter your attic becomes because of heat gain. Attic Breeze solar attic fans work by removing heat and reducing your attic's temperature, allowing your HVAC system to operate more efficiently and use less energy to cool your home. And, the less your HVAC equipment needs to operate, the more money you'll save on cooling bills and equipment repairs.
Shingles Last Longer. As the temperature of your roof increases throughout the day, roof shingles will give off heat to the surrounding outside air and into your attic space. The more heat roof shingles can transfer away, the lower the resulting roof temperature.
However, when your attic is poorly ventilated, the air inside your attic becomes so hot that it causes heat transfer from your roof to slow down, forcing the temperature of roof shingles to increase even more. This excessive heat buildup can ruin roof shingles over time, causing them to buckle and deteriorate prematurely. Attic Breeze solar attic fans solve this problem by continuously removing trapped hot air from your attic, allowing your roof to release the maximum amount of heat possible. And, a cooler roof means your roof shingles last longer - saving you money!
Attic Breeze solar attic fans are best in class, professional grade ventilation products. Other companies may market themselves as offering a professional grade product, but what does that really mean?
We believe a professional grade product should be one that is engineered for a lifetime of durability. It should be able to withstand the harshest weather conditions imaginable, intense summer heat year after year, and still function exactly as it was designed. These are not the over-seas made retail products you might find in a "big box" store.
Professional grade means never using plastic (polymer) parts that will degrade in the sun or deform from heat over time. And, most importantly, we believe professional grade manes manufacturing in the USA - from the highest quality domestic and foreign materials available - even if that means it may cost a little more to make.
