  1. 5 Things You Must Ask When Buying an Attic Exhaust Fan Finding the best attic exhaust fan for your home can be challenging because there’s quite a lot of options on the market, all promising the best performance. How do you find the right fan for you? These questions will help you make a decision: 1. What types of attic exhaust fans are available? There are many kinds of fans that can keep your attic well-ventilated and your home cool. The best examples are attic gable fans, solar attic fans, and whole house fans. Each type has unique features, advantages, as well as disadvantages. You need to understand your options to choose the best attic exhaust fan for your house. Many experts agree that newer models of whole house fans are the best choice. They are easy to install, whisper quiet, and require zero maintenance! 2. What material is the attic fan made of? The best attic exhaust fan is built from high-quality materials that are capable of withstanding excessive heat in the attic. Avoid purchasing fans with cheap plastic components. They can get brittle and damaged when exposed to different temperatures. A good choice will be an attic fan with metal construction because metal is a strong and durable material that can hold up against moisture and other conditions. 3. Is the attic fan easy to use? The best models these days are those that have programmable thermostats. This feature automatically turns the attic exhaust fan on when the temperature in the attic reaches a certain level. You won't need to go up and down your attic to check the temperature yourself and switch the fan on. 4. How much space is there in the attic? In order to determine the right size of attic fan you are buying, you have to measure the area of the attic that it needs to ventilate. The size of an attic fan is measured in terms of cubic feet per minute or CFM. Experts say that 1000 square feet of attic space requires 700 CFM. But if the attic has a steep roof, then the recommended size will be 840 CFM per 1000 square feet. 5. Is there a warranty? The warranty of the manufacturer is definitely an important factor to consider when choosing an attic fan. This will be your protection against defective systems. This can also help you save money on repairs.
