WHY BUY A SOLAR ATTIC FAN?

During extensive hot summer months, especially in the America's southern states, the temperature in an attic can exceed 160 degrees. Small, passive roof vents are completely useless at dissipating the heat and "whirly-birds" only work when the wind blows. The attic acts like a giant radiator, passing excess heat back into living spaces and driving temperatures and cooling costs through the roof.
All year long, trapped moisture and humidity wreak havoc on the most expensive components like insulation, joists and rafters. Everyday activities such as showering and cooking produce water vapor that migrates up into the attic. This moisture promotes the growth of mold and mildew and, if it saturates your insulation, can lead to fungal decay and destruction of your roof frame and decking.
Reputation is everything
Bill Keith, inventor of the solar attic fan, owner of SRS Solar Attic Fan and well-known in many political circles has created and warrantied the SRS solar attic fan. We are a reputable, proprietary installer of the good-looking, hail-tolerant SRS solar attic fan that has passed muster with HOA committees in extremely high-dollar communities as well as dotting roof lines on homes averaging in the $1+ millions in the cities across the US.
Aside from the general aesthetics of the SRS solar attic fan, there are many great advantages to installing one. Solar attic fans actually suck out the hot air in the attic and draw in cooler air from the soffit vents. They work from sun-up to sun-down as well as cloudy or overcast days. By installing a solar attic fan, a cost-conscious homeowner is also reducing the run cycle of a major expense, the air conditioning unit by prolonging its life and keeping the repairman away from the checkbook.
Advantages to you, the consumer
* 30% Federal tax credit
* Extending the life of an air conditioning unit by shorter run cycle and longer time between cut-off and cut-on
* Helping prevent mold & mildew growth and removes attic heat & moisture by continuous air circulation
* Prolonging the life of the roof components
* Reducing air conditioning costs up to 30%
* Increasing the comfort in the home

The bottom line, because everyone wants to know the bottom line. The cost to implement two the largest fans is about a third of the cost of some radiant barrier solutions and the best part, from Uncle Sam gives the consumer a 30% federal tax credit.
