Gable Attic Fans
These are some things to consider when purchasing Gable Attic Fans:
1. Consider the size of your attic when purchasing Gable Attic Fans. Measure the height, width, and length of your attic and then multiply these figures to get the total cubic feet. Each Gable Attic Fan will tell how many cubic feet it is designed to cool. If you have an especially large attic, you may need to purchase two.
2. If you get an electrically run Gable Attic Fan, you will want to hire an electrician. However, if you purchase a Solar Gable Attic Fan, you will not need one. They are fairly easy to install yourself.
3. When you install the Gable Attic Fans exhaust port, be sure that it is installed on a wall that doesn’t have prevailing winds as that makes it difficult for the fan to expel the hotter air.
4. Consider the noise of your fan. Larger and less expensive fans can create more noise and vibrations. Most consider the Solar Gable Attic Fan to be very quiet.
5. Be sure to buy metal mesh to cover the exhaust port so that small animals or other things like leaves cannot enter your house.
