Ventilation of the home attic is important for many reasons.

During the summer, excess heat that builds up in the attic during the day results in high energy costs for cooling. Moisture produced within the home may move into the attic if ceiling vapor barriers are not used. If this moisture is not exhausted from the attic it can condense and cause insulation and construction materials to deteriorate. Temperature and moisture control are the major reasons for providing attic ventilation.

Attic ventilation can be accomplished by gravity ventilators, wind assisted ventilators or power ventilator… Regardless of the method used, the purpose is to provide uniform ventilation of the attic for proper temperature and moisture control.

Types of damage that can result include:

• Premature aging of your roofing system (“fried” shingles)
  
• Warping, cracking, or breaking down of wood framing
  
• Damage to siding, exterior or interior paint, and wallpaper
  
• Higher energy costs
  
• Poor Attic Ventilation Can Ruin Your Insulation,
  
• Destroy Your Shingles, And Raise Your Energy Bills!
