As the air grows warmer, its density decreases, and as a result, it rises. For example, hot air from your kitchen and bathroom will have nowhere else to go but up, right into your attic.

  1. Effective Tips for Choosing the Best Quiet Attic Whole House Fans How often do you go up to your attic? Unless you use the attic for anything other than storage, it may be one of the least-visited areas in your home. But did you know that ignoring your attic can be a big reason why your home feels inexplicably warm? If you want to stop sweating through even the hottest summer days, consider investing in a quiet attic fan. Selecting the best quiet attic fan for your home As the air grows warmer, its density decreases, and as a result, it rises. For example, hot air from your kitchen and bathroom will have nowhere else to go but up, right into your attic. An attic fan is designed to pull hot and humid air out of the attic, improving the overall ventilation of your home. Additionally, attic whole-house fans help prevent moisture buildup, extend the life of your roof, and reduce utility costs. So, how do you choose the best system for your home? Consider these factors:  Size An attic fan’s size doesn’t directly pertain to its weight and dimensions. Rather, you must consider one important factor: its CFM rating. CFM, or cubic feet per minute, refers to the amount of air a fan can move in one minute. It’s generally best to choose a fan with a CFM rating of about 70% to 80% of your attic’s total square footage. In other words, you need around 700 to 800 CFM for every 1000 square feet. If you can’t find a fan with the exact rating that you need, make sure to go for a system as close to your measurement as possible. An attic fan with too much power can create negative pressure inside the attic, while one that’s too weak may cause moisture buildup.  Durability Attic fans are constantly exposed to extreme temperatures, such as high heat during the summer and cold during the winter. Therefore, make sure your attic fan is able to withstand such situations. They must be built with high-quality materials and be easy to install.

  2. Noise Attic fans can be noisy, especially when operating at high speeds. Luckily, you can now find systems built with quiet technology, such as suspension-type installation and insulated flexible ducting, ensuring near-silent operation and minimal vibration. Quiet attic fans are made to keep your home cool and comfortable. Make sure to purchase your system from a trusted whole-house fan supplier in the US to guarantee its quality and durability.
