Solar Fans offer energy savings and prevent ventilation and roofing issues.
Did you know that your attic plays a vital role in preserving the health of your roof and home? Attics should be kept at a consistent temperature. Attics that are too hot in summer can skyrocket your energy bills, while unregulated attics can lead to winter roofing problems.
Pro-Home Services expertly installs attic fans that harness sun’s power for automatic, low-maintenance management of your attic’s temperature.
Do I Need an Attic Fan?
Attics are out of sight and therefore ignored, yet they are crucial to retaining a comfortable, well-maintained home. Heat accumulates in the top part of your home. Attic fans reduce the temperature considerably through circulation and venting hot, humid indoor air outside while taking cool, drier air into the attic.
Attic fans benefit homeowners year-round. In the Chicago area, summers are getting hotter, so an attic fan is an advantage for cooling the home. In Winter, attic fans regulate the air temperature in the top part of the house, which is important for the health of your roof.

- Circulate air to keep the attic resistant to mold and mildew
