The heat of summer around here is very intense, obviously, and you want to ensure that you are able to live in a cool, comfortable environment within your home. However, you may not realize just how much of a challenge it is for an air conditioner to keep a home in this area comfortable when the sun is beating down on your house all day, every day. There are many factors to consider, and there are systems that you may use in order to help your air conditioner excel in its operation. That is why we recommend that you consider the use of an attic fan in Parkland, FL.
Why Vent My Attic?
An attic fan is used in order to vent very hot air out of your attic. Even if the temperature outside is only around 80 degrees, temperatures in your attic may be 40 or 50 degrees hotter than that! Heat rises, after all, and the direct sunlight on your roof can really cause temperatures in the attic to soar. You may think that you don't have to worry about your attic temperatures, as you don't spend any time up there, but this is not the point. When your attic is so hot, the heat therein can radiate down into your living space through wooden beams and walls. This can increase temperatures in your living space, putting more strain on your AC. Venting the attic with the use of an attic fan can thus help to cut down on energy costs and system wear and tear. Plus, venting your attic allows humidity to escape, as well. This can prove to be very beneficial for your roof, and may also help you to avoid issues with biological pollutants in the attic, which can thrive in very humid conditions.
