Whether it’s to reduce their carbon footprint or save money on energy bills, more and more people are looking to make their homes more energy efficient.
One essential way to improve the energy efficiency of your home is by installing roof vents.
In this article, we’ll talk more about how roof vents work and how they can improve the energy efficiency of your home.
How roof vents work
Roof vents allow air to circulate through the attic space of your home.
Vents are installed on the roof, which allows outside air to enter the attic while also expelling hot air.
The combination of intake and exhaust vents ensures that there is a constant flow of fresh air in the attic. Intake vents are installed on the lower portion of the roof, while exhaust vents are installed higher up.
How roof vents make your home more efficient
Roof vents are a great way to make your home more energy efficient and can have a big impact on how much you’ll pay in energy bills.
Without proper ventilation, the warm air in your home will rise and get trapped in the attic. As a result, your air conditioner needs to work harder to keep your house cool during the summer, which inevitably results in higher energy usage.
With properly installed roof vents, air will flow through your attic and out of your home, which naturally reduces the heat in your home, reducing your energy usage and making your home a more manageable temperature.
Other benefits of roof vents
Roof vents offer a range of benefits in addition to making your home more energy efficient.
Trapped warm air can also cause numerous issues, such as rot and mould, which can cause damage to your home. With roof vents, your attic will be in a much better long-term condition.
They also make the air and general environment of your home cleaner and healthier, which will vastly improve the comfort of everyone in your home.
