Attic fans reduce the temperature of your attic space during hot days resulting in lower cooling bills and extended life of your roofing material. Make sure soffit vents are available to replace air exhausted by attic fans or you could draw cooler air out of your home instead.

No matter how efficient your heating and cooling equipment is, if your home is not properly sealed and insulated, you may not be as comfortable as you could be, and your heating and cooling systems will have to work harder. Additionally, if you have leaky or poorly insulated ductwork, your home might have humidity problems, excessive dust, or rooms that are never quite comfortable. Improving the building shell and sealing ducts can generally improve your home.
