Advantages of Solar Attic Fans vs. Electric

While electric-powered fans can ventilate an attic, solar-powered models offer distinct advantages that make them a better choice in many homes. One major benefit is energy savings. Solar fans utilize panels that generate their own power from sunlight, offsetting electric usage and providing long-term utility savings.

Additionally, solar panels produce more than enough power to operate the fans at optimal CFM (cubic feet per minute) levels. They have a minimal environmental impact and qualify for a 26% federal tax credit. Their off-grid functionality allows flexibility in placement without needing proximity to an electric supply.

Solar attic fans offer superior durability and require less maintenance than their electric counterparts. Without the need for complex wiring and electrical components, these fans have fewer points of potential failure, leading to a longer lifespan. They continue to work even during power outages, maintaining air circulation and protecting your attic from extreme heat. 

Expert Solar Attic Fan Installation 

Our installation service begins with an in-depth assessment of your attic to identify the most suitable fan type and placement. We consider various factors, including:

  • Attic size and volume
  • Current ventilation systems in place
  • Roof pitch and material
  • Sun exposure and optimal solar panel positioning

Once we have a clear understanding of your attic's specifications, we proceed with the following steps:

  • Fan selection: We recommend the best solar attic fan model that fits your attic's requirements and your personal preferences.
  • Removal: If you have an existing fan, we safely disconnect and remove it, preparing the area for your new installation.
  • Installation preparation: Our technicians prepare the installation site, marking the optimal position for the fan based on sun exposure and roof structure.
  • Fan installation: This includes securely mounting the solar panel to capture maximum sunlight and installing all necessary seals and flashing to protect against leaks. 
  • Clean-up: Post-installation, we clean the work area thoroughly, leaving your property as tidy as we found it.
  • Inspection and testing: We conduct a final inspection and operational test to ensure the fan functions correctly, including any thermostatic controls.
