An attic fan uses an electric motor to remove hot, humid air from the attic and exhaust it through the roof. As the fan pushes air outside, fresh replacement air enters through soffit vents or other intake vents. A built-in thermostat and humidistat monitor the attic and automatically turn on the fan when the temperature or humidity rises above the selected settings. The smart attic fans we install adjust their speed as conditions change and allow homeowners to manage the settings through a smartphone app. During warmer months, an attic fan helps reduce heat buildup beneath the roof. During Washington’s damp seasons, it can help release excess moisture and reduce the conditions that contribute to condensation and mold growth. For the fan to work effectively, the attic needs enough intake ventilation, clear airflow pathways, and proper air sealing. An attic ventilation professional can determine whether your attic needs a fan and confirm that the intake vents can provide enough replacement air.
