How do i use my attic fan.

An attic fan pulls air in through open windows and doors while pushing hot air. Attic fans come with different models. When paired with adequate roof ventilation these fans can help deal with one of the more frustrating and challenging aspects of keeping a home cool. Some can have manual switches while others use a thermostat to turn them on and off automatically.

Attic ventilation fans help cool air your attic by pushing out the stifling hot air from inside the attic and bringing in cool air from outside. A whole house fan is designed to pull air in through open windows and doors and exhaust this air through an attic space to the great outdoors. The main work of an attic fan is to regulate the heat level of the attic by removing hot air out of the attic and pushing it outside providing needed ventilation. In the late evening or early morning the fan is turned on to exhaust hot air from the house.

Attic fans are an outward aimed fan installed in your attic that when engaged are designed to pull the hot thick air out of your attic and expel it outside. That nasty sweltering attic. This prevents hot air from seeping into your home and driving up the temperature in the living space which reduces the load on your air conditioner. A whole house fan is usually installed on the attic floor near the center of your house.
