Reducing the heat that builds up in your attic is an important part of maintaining the longevity of your roof. Today on Roofing University, Josh will be installing a solar vent by Canada GoGreen Solar Vents (4 Seasons Vents in the United States)
The vent works by using the sun’s energy to power a fan which pulls excess heat, moisture and humidity out of the attic space while promoting air circulation inside. It is excellent for steep roof applications. The unique shape helps prevent wind driven rain and snow from blowing into the attic while the slanted hood deflects running rainwater. This vent is the right fit for areas affected by extreme weather conditions. The vent can operate from dawn until dusk, even in low light conditions and will operate as a large, weather resistant ‘passive’ vent after sun down.
The vents handle upto 500 sq ft of attic space and are an excellent addition to your steel or asphalt roof. There is a 10 year warranty that comes with your solar vent.
