Without the fan, the house gets hotter and hotter all day long and the ac never stops. When it gets to 150 degrees in your attic it begins to penetrate your living space. With the solar attic fan, the hot air is removed, allows cool air in and your A/C runs much more efficiently. Attic air is 60 degrees cooler and less heat penetrates the rooms. JUST A LITTLE POWER TO SAVE MONEY BY REMOVING ALOT OF HEAT! Solar Attic Fans create a positive airflow through your attic that does not rely on wind or require excessive passive venting. Excessive passive venting can cause excessive moisture infiltration in the form of snow or rain. The attic fan is normally mounted up on the roof of the home toward the back about two feet down from the peak. It goes on and off automatically with a thermostat, so it only runs when it is beneficial. The attic fan has a flashing that fits in with the shingles and is waterproof. Attic fans use less than 300 watts, and offer these important advantages: 1. Lowers upstairs room temperatures by 10° 2. Lengthens roof life by keeping shingles cooler 3. Saves up to 30% on air-conditioning costs The exact savings obtained depends on several factors like: The color of your roof, if the home is shaded, the amount of insulation you have, and the efficiency of your cooling system. Ideally, a solar attic fan installation will pay for itself within 3 years. The high quality Power-Save Solar Attic fan is recommended. But the benefits don't stop there, in winter the solar attic fan continues to help the homeowner, as many of today's houses have insufficient ventilation and attic air exchange. This causes high humidity levels from everyday activities. This moisture migrates through the ceiling towards the roof where it comes in contact with the cold structure. Here, ice and frost form, causing damage to your roof structure. Additionally, moisture can saturate insulation, promote fungal decay and plywood delamination.

INSTALLATION STEPS 1) In your attic, mark the location of your solar-powered vent between two roof rafters. 2) drive a nail through the center of vent location. 3) Install roof brackets and fall-arrest system to roof 4) Scribe outline of vent's flashing on roof using homemade dowel compass. 5) Cut shingles along circular outline with a utility knife, cut a 4-inch slit throught the shingles and the tarpaper at the 3 and 9 o'clock position of the flashing.This allows for the flashing to be inserted under the shingles. 6) Pull nails and remove shingles from within the circle. Insert the reciprocating saw blade sideways at the 3 o'clock position and commence cutting roofing nails up and around to the 9 o'clock position. The process removes the nails that will prevent the flashing from sliding up underneath the shingles. 7) Use compass to scribe a hole for vent onto roof sheathing. 8) Cut hole in the roof with a reciprocating saw. 9) Remove shingles from around the vent opening. 10) Apply continuous bead of tri-polymer roofing cement around hole. 11) Set roof vent over hole, then screw the fan's flashing to roof. Caulk underside of flashing with the provided caulking material, Two concentric rings of caulking material are sufficient 12)Taking care not to smear caulk on the exposed shingles, slide flashing under tar paper and shingles and force flashin up until the shingles come in contact with the raised portion of the flashing. The bottom side of the flashing will be on the top of the shingles. Secure the flashing with 4 hex head screws at the 3:00, 6:00, 9:00 & 12:00 positions. The screws are placed under the shingles. At the 6:00 position, caulk over the screw head sinse it will be exposed to the weather. Use remaining caulk to seal the areas where the 4" slits were made. and around the area where the shingles meet with the raised area of the flashing. video: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/video/0,,20047003,00.html |
