Roofing Ventilation Fans

Maximize Roof Performance with Strategic Ventilation

Here at C&M Construction and Roofing, we recognize the vital role proper ventilation plays in maximizing the lifespan and functionality of your roofing system. By installing high-quality attic exhaust fans, we allow heated air to efficiently escape roof cavities, reducing thermal gain and moisture accumulation. Our team has extensive experience selecting, installing, and maintaining various mechanical and wind-powered ventilation fan options.

Benefits of Attic Ventilation:

– Lowers Roof Temperatures: Exhaust fans extract hot air, decreasing temperatures up to 30° which lessens UV/thermal damage.

– Reduces Moisture: Lowers attic humidity to below 60% which prevents mold, rot, and premature material degradation.

– Enhances Energy Efficiency: Cooler attics lessen AC workload, lowering year-round energy bills significantly.

– Improves Indoor Air Quality: Stale, moisture-laden air doesn’t permeate conditioned living spaces.

Types of Fans Installed:

– Gable Vents: Mounted at peak to expel air using wind power for natural ventilation.

– Ridge Vents: Continuous blow-molded plastic vents installed along roof ridges.

– Turbine Vents: Electric fans spin slowly to passively pull hot air up and out.

– Box Vents: Low-profile inline fans installed at the soffit or gable for precise CFM output.

– Panic Vents: Emergency release vents open automatically at high temperatures.

Regardless of your ventilation needs or setup, we advise on the optimal fan type, size, location, and wiring requirements for hassle-free compliance with building codes. Installations are completed quickly with consideration for structural stability and aesthetic finishes.

Schedule Regular Maintenance:

We recommend professional cleaning annually to remove built-up dust and debris from fans and exhaust pathways. Filters should also be changed periodically to maximize circulation. Small proactive steps ensure consistent, efficient ventilation for the lifetime of your roof system.
