Attic Ventilation Fans

Does your electric bill increase substantially in the summer months? Do your upper levels in your home stay considerably warmer then the lower levels in the summer? An attic fan is what you need to help correct these problems. Attic fans serve one major purpose, to save you money in cooling costs! Okay now let’s think back to grade school and one of the most basic laws of physics, heat rises! That hot stagnate air sits above your upper level rooms, causing them to be warmer then other levels of your house. Your attic can get up to 160 degrees in the summer! That’s pretty hot, and that hot air sits above your rooms and acts like a warming tray, keeping them nice and toasty.  Adding an attic fan will move that hot stagnate air outside and bring fresh cool air in. Thus reducing the heat in the attic, the attic no longer acts as a warming tray because it is cool air, this in return reduces your cooling costs. By having an attic fan you can decrease your cooling costs by 15-20%.  Let’s talk money here, say your electric bill is $100 a month, you can save $15 to $20 a month, that’s $180 to $240 a year! In fact the installation of the fan will practically be covered in the first year. Such an easy solution, which will save you tons over the years!

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans can serve two primary functions, they can be used for lighting and/or decoration purposes, and they can be used for cooling and heating functions.  In terms of cooling and heating functions, ceiling fans will balance the air in your room. Let us elaborate, in terms of heating, ceiling fans take hot air (remember of little law of physics, heat rises) and brings it down to mix with the cool air, thus warming your room in the winter. On the opposite hand in terms of cooling, in the warmer months a ceiling fan will take that hot air and bring it down providing cool air circulation. Some people can even get away from never turning on the AC in a mild summer. Adding a ceiling fan can decrease your heating and cooling costs anywhere from 5% to 10%. If you add or have an attic fan you’re looking at savings in the 20% to 30% range.

A second function that a ceiling fan can provide is overhead lighting. In addition to the fan a light can be incorporated to provide a nice overhead light. With so many styles and types of fans out there, there is literally something to fit any taste or décor. Fans come in almost every color, shape, and size.  You even can choose from remote, wall or pull chain operation controls too!
