Why Attic Ventilation Matters
At Jackson & Foster Heating & Air Conditioning, we often encounter homeowners who overlook the importance of proper attic ventilation. While it may seem unrelated to your HVAC system, adequate attic ventilation can significantly impact your home’s overall comfort and energy efficiency.
Key Benefits of Proper Attic Ventilation:
- Increased HVAC efficiency
- Extended roof lifespan
- Reduced moisture buildup
- Lower energy bills
How Attic Ventilation Affects Your HVAC System
During hot summer months, a poorly ventilated attic can reach temperatures of up to 150°F. This extreme heat can seep into your living spaces, forcing your air conditioning system to work harder and consume more energy. By ensuring proper attic ventilation, you can significantly reduce the strain on your HVAC system and improve its overall performance.
Tips for Improving Attic Ventilation
1. Install ridge vents and soffit vents
2. Consider adding attic fans
3. Ensure proper insulation
4. Schedule regular HVAC maintenance
