If you’ve ever been up to the attic in your home, you might notice trapped heat up there. This heat might not seem to directly affect the rest of your home, but it can impact the moisture levels, temperature control, and energy bills. Fortunately, attic fans can help resolve that. We at 3 Guys Solar, LLC recommend solar attic fans instead of regular attic fans. Here’s how they compare to help you decide for yourself.
Solar vs. Electricity
As the name implies, solar attic fans are powered by solar energy rather than electricity. This main difference between the two types of fans can have a major impact on the benefits they can offer. While an electric attic fan can work to remove the heat and excess moisture from your attic, the use of electricity can increase your energy bill as a result. The solar attic fans will save money as they rely solely on solar power while saving electricity.
Renewable Energy
Solar attic fans are also better for the environment because solar power is a renewable energy source, unlike traditional fans. You can feel comfortable in your home and in knowing that you made the better choice for the environment by using a renewable energy source for your attic fans.
Effective Ventilation
Whether you choose solar attic fans or traditional attic fans, they can both be beneficial in providing necessary ventilation for your attic. This will help to filter out both the heat and the excess moisture from the attic.
