How Attic Fans Protect Your Home
Heat naturally rises, making its way to your attic and settling there. Over time, this advances wear on your roof and home infrastructure. The excess moisture from the overflowing heat can cause warping and deterioration of your roof shingles and tiles. With an attic fan, your attic stays cool and dry, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your roof.
Attic fans can also protect your HVAC systems. The unit won’t have to run more to balance out excess heat and moisture. Adding an attic fan can help your air conditioner and heating system run more efficiently and keep your family more comfortable.
Attic Fan Repair
If your attic fan malfunctions, you may be able to restore it with a repair instead of a replacement. These are signs you need attic fan repair:
- The fan doesn’t turn on: This could be due to a faulty thermostat, tripped breaker, power supply issue, or a damaged or malfunctioning motor.
- The fan runs, but there’s no airflow: This could mean there’s a blade that’s loose, bent, or blocked off by debris.
- Loud noises: Abnormal sounds are typically caused by loose screws, poor lubrication, or unbalanced blades.
- The fan won’t turn off: A malfunctioning thermostat or a faulty switch could keep the fan running when it isn’t supposed to.
- A burning smell: This is a serious sign and safety hazard, usually indicating a failing motor. Shut off the fan immediately and call for emergency HVAC service.

You can likely turn off the attic fan in the evenings and overnight. Whether or not you run the unit often depends on if your HVAC system is keeping you comfortable or struggling due to significantly high temperatures.
