Balanced intake and exhaust reduces potential negative indoor air pressure issues. If outside air intake is not sufficient to make up the return, air can be sucked out of the home's living space, increasing HVAC costs. www.atmox.com
 



U.S. Sunlight Solar Attic Fans
U.S. Sunlight solar attic fans provide the active ventilation needed to reduce attic heat buildup in hot weather, and reduce moisture in attics in cold, wet months. They pay for themselves in energy savings. Unventilated attics can reach more than 160 degrees. Keeping the attic cool reduces mechanical cooling needs, improves indoor comfort, and extends roof life by up to 10%. Solar fans also can qualify for tax credits. www.ussunlight.com
