Installing an attic ventilator can make your air conditioning system last longer!
Okay, this one’s pretty simple: the hotter your home is, the hotter your air conditioning unit has to work. Now think about your attic in the summertime — it’s super hot, right?! This effects how hard your AC unit needs to work to make your home cool.
Luckily, there’s an easy fix to this problem: an attic ventilator. Installing one will help your home stay cooler and your bills stay lower. And, when you consider how easy and inexpensive they are for T.F. O’Brien to install, they’re a great way to reduce your overall energy consumption.
Here’s what an attic ventilator can do for your home:
- Reduces attic temperatures by 20-40°F during summer months
- Decreases the cooling load on your AC system
- Prevents heat from radiating down into living spaces
- Helps preserve roof materials by reducing thermal expansion/contraction
- Can reduce cooling costs by 5-15% in hot climates
If an attic ventilator sounds like something you might need, call the Long Island heating and cooling company that’s been around since 1934, T.F. O’Brien & Co, at (516)488-180o to learn more.
