Solar Gable Attic Fan Review
A Solar Gable Attic Fan is powered by sun which makes sense as it does exactly what the name implies! If you are interested in reducing your carbon footprint and going green with your Gable Attic Fan then the solar option is a great choice. It’s also kind of fun to think that the sun is actually helping to make your attic cooler instead of hotter.
These fans come with complete instructions and most people can usually install them within an hour. It is recommended that you do the installation early in the morning before your roof gets hot, it will make installing it much more pleasant.
The Solar Gable Attic Fan is normally equipped with a thermostat so it only runs when your attic reaches a certain temperature, making it that much more efficient. You will not need to hire an electrician since it’s run by solar power, which is another great benefit. Of course it will not add to your power bill either.
This type of attic fan also has advantages in the winter. Most of the heat in a house escapes through the roof. Running the Solar Gable Attic Fan during the winter months can help to keep the heat in your house. It also helps prevent the condensation that occurs when the hot air comes in contact with the colder air in your attic and can turn into a mold issue. By running this type of fan, you solve this problem. So it cools your house in the summer months and helps keep the heat in your house in the winter months. That’s a definite win/win.
Another benefit of this type of Gable Attic Fan is that they are very, very quiet. So it will not add to the noise level in your house, which is always nice.
When installing the Solar Gable Attic Fan it’s important to put the solar panels on the roof in a place where it will get direct sun for the longest portion of your day. Make sure that the solar panels are not shaded in anyway by trees.
