A Florida attic in August runs 130 degrees and hotter, and every degree of that heat fights your air conditioner through the ceiling. A solar attic fan pulls that superheated air out of the attic all day using nothing but sunlight. There is no wiring to your electrical panel and nothing added to your electric bill, and the same sun that overheats the attic powers the fan hardest exactly when the attic needs it most.
AllSolar Energy has installed and serviced solar equipment on Florida roofs since 1999, and attic fans are the same discipline as everything else we mount up there: flashed into the roof correctly so it never becomes a leak, sized to the volume of your attic, and paired with adequate intake ventilation, because an exhaust fan without intake just pulls conditioned air out of your house.
A cooler attic means your insulation performs closer to its rated value, your ductwork carries cooler air, and your AC cycles less on the worst afternoons of the year. If your home already has our solar pool heating, solar hot water, or solar electric, an attic fan visit can ride along with your next service call.
Call our Sanford office or send the estimate form and we will look at your attic, your ventilation, and your roof, and put a written recommendation on paper. Site visits and estimates are free.
A free Solar Home account keeps your panels, inverter, batteries, pool heater or water heater on record: models, serial numbers, photographs of the labels, warranties, utility and interconnection documents, and every AllSolar service visit attached to your property.
Free to read first, no account needed: the Solar Home guides explain how to identify your equipment, what your production figures mean and what the common warnings are telling you.
