Why Install Solar Vents
The sun's rays super heat your roof causing attic temperatures to soar, sometimes to over 160 F! This heat forces its way through your insulation and into your home, then your AC system must remove the heat from your living space... and that will cost you a bundle!
As for homes in Austin... the more ventilation you have the better.
You have a couple of attic ventilation options:
-
Natural ventilation (Wind Turbines, Static, and Soffit Vents) or;
- Powered vents (Solar, or hard wired)
Solar Powered Vents
A Cooler House's solar powered attic fans automatically exhausts super-heated attic air before it can get into your living space; it's on at dawn shuts down as the sun sets. Cooler outside air is quietly pulled into the attic through eve or soffit vents and exhausted back outside.
Please note that one solar-powered attic fan normally requires at least 12 fully open 8" x 16" soffit (eve) intake vents to provide a source of cooler intake ventilation.
Advantages of solar ventilation over traditional power ventilation:
-
No energy usage
-
No electrician or permit required (a permit is around $250 and a electrician is $200 or more)
-
Low profile
-
Super quiet operation
Natural Ventilation 
If powered fans are not a option "Wind Turbines" along with adequate soffit ventilation would be the next best thing. A Cooler house installs only the best 14 inch wind turbines with ball bearing operation. The step up to a 14 inch from the standard 12 inch turbines is crucial. We will install the turbines high on the peak your roof so as to catch as much wind as possible, giving you maximum savings.
When home owner associations are a problem simple Air Hawks may be the answer. These low-cost passive vents provide for added air flow when no other application will work; combined with adequate soffit ventilation Air Hawks can be a relatively effective ventilation solution.
