Ventilation is critical to an efficient attic. Ventilation serves to move super-heated air out of the attic during summer months which decreases the chance of heat transfer between the much warmer attic and the air conditioned interior of the home. During the winter months proper attic ventilation will remove damaging moisture from attic. This protects the attic and roof from moisture damage during the winter and protects the shingles from excessive heat build up during the summer months.

Attic ventilation also prevents excessive temperature change in the attic. This is important to prevent heat transference. When the temperatures in the heated or cooled portions of the living space vary significantly from the attic temperatures, heat transfer will result. By maintaining a constant temperature more consistent with the heated and cooled areas of the home, heat transfer is minimized. This results in lower heating and cooling costs and far less heating and cooling loss through the attic. By having the proper attic ventilation installed on your home you can lower your energy costs, improve the longevity of your roof, and improve the longevity of your heating and cooling systems.
