About the service
I install solar-powered attic ventilation fans that pull hot, stale air out of the attic space and replace it with cooler outside air, without adding a single kilowatt to your electricity bill. The unit runs entirely off a small integrated solar panel mounted on the roof slope facing the strongest sun, so there is no wiring back into the house, no extra circuit, and nothing for an electrician to touch.\n\nA hot attic does more damage than most homeowners realize: shingles age faster from below, insulation loses part of its effectiveness once the space around it gets too hot, and the upstairs rooms stay uncomfortably warm long after the sun goes down because the ceiling keeps radiating stored heat. A properly sized and properly placed exhaust fan breaks that cycle by moving the hot air out before it soaks into the structure.\n\nMy service covers the full job from start to finish. I begin with an on-site attic inspection to check current ventilation (soffit vents, ridge vents, gable vents), measure the attic's square footage to size the fan correctly, and identify the best roof location for both sun exposure and safe, leak-free installation. I then cut the roof opening cleanly, set the fan base under the shingle course above it and over the course below (the standard weatherproofing method used on roof vents and skylights), seal every edge with proper roofing sealant, and secure the solar panel at the optimal tilt angle for year-round sun capture.\n\nBefore I leave, I test the fan's operation in direct sunlight, check the thermostat or humidistat setting if the model includes one, and walk you through basic care — mainly keeping the panel free of leaves and dust so it keeps producing full power. I also inspect and, if needed, add supplemental intake vents so the fan has enough incoming air to work efficiently; a fan without adequate intake will underperform no matter how good the unit is.\n\nI work on asphalt shingle, tile, and metal roofs, and I carry the fasteners and flashing appropriate to each roofing type. All roof penetrations are sealed to manufacturer specification and I stand behind my installation work. If you supply your own fan unit, I'm happy to install it; I can also recommend a unit sized to your attic if you don't have one yet. Typical turnaround is a single day once the site visit and quote are confirmed. Message me with your roof type, approximate attic size, and a couple of photos of the roof and existing vents, and I'll send a firm quote and available install dates.
