WHAT IS AN ATTIC FAN?

Will an attic fan help with energy savings?

Frequently Asked Questions
The most obvious reason for attic ventilation is to lower attic space temperature during the warmer months. Attic temperatures can exceed 160 deg F during hot summer days. Proper attic ventilation can reduce those temperatures by 50 deg F. No matter how much insulation is in the attic, heat can still transfer into adjacent living spaces. In fact, extra insulation can actually add to temperature increases because heat is trapped in the insulation.

I think there's an animal in the attic. What do I do?

Wild Animals- Havahart offers a full line of repellents and ...
I would suggest a live cage trap. If you can determine what type of animal you have this will make it easier to know what size trap to purchase. The trap does need to be placed on a flat surface in an area that the animal would come into contact with it. If you spray the trap with apple juice this will make it more attractive to the animal.

How much ventilation should I have in my attic?

FAQ - Insulation and Weatherization
In most cases, you should have one square foot of net free vent area for each 150 square feet of attic floor area. Net free area is the actual area that air can flow through. With screens and louvers, you can assume that is roughly half the gross area. If you have a properly installed ceiling vapor retarder, you can reduce the vent area to one square foot per 300 square feet of attic floor area.

Metro Pest Control
If a raccoon or squirrel decides to nest in your attic, or a group of bats are using your building for shelter, it is important to get them out as soon as possible. If left undisturbed, they will multiply and eventually create health issues caused by fleas, ticks, mites and the diseases they carry. Damage to the property is also a real concern as these animals gnaw on wires causing fire hazards as well as computer and alarm malfunctions.
