Summer heat, while great for outdoor activities, can make the inside of your home miserable. Your roof and attic can act as a heat trap, but solar fans can be an excellent solution. Roofers at My Roofing Co. in Kaneohe, HI, advise that solar fans are a great, eco-friendly way to cool down your home and save on bills at the same time. 

Solar fans are basic roof installations designed to draw heat out of attics and upstairs bedrooms. As the sun warms your roof coating, heat gets absorbed and then trapped in these areas, often rising to triple-digit temperatures. Traditionally powered attic ventilators have been a solution in the past, though they use a significant amount of energy alongside your HVAC system to cool down these areas. In some cases, they can even draw cool air from the house, as well as draw combustible gases from appliances back in. This can lead to drastic increases in energy bills, unsafe conditions, and ultimately, ineffective cooling.

With solar fans, your home organically powers its cooling system. The fan is installed directly into your roofing and requires only the sun to operate. This creates more energy-efficient cooling that will not only make your home more comfortable but will also shave money off your electric bill. Solar fans have proven to be highly effective, cooling attic and upper floor areas by as much as 40 degrees. This creates a significant impact on your house’s climate and will prevent roofing supports from warping or becoming damaged in the heat.
