Unless you've
spent time in your attic during the heat of the day you may not
realize just how hot it gets up there. The fact is that attic temperatures
approach 150 degrees during hot summer days. Ever wonder why it's
hard to get the upstairs cool or why your air-conditioning electric
bills are so high? Your air conditioner has to work overtime to
fight the effect of the attic heat that backs up into your rooms.
You need
a Jet Fan. Jet Fans will force hot air right out of your attic.
Jet Fan Installations builds and installs Jet Fans and has installed
around 15,000 attic fans since 1983. The company has learned a
lot about attic fans and uses that wisdom when building what they
call, "The Worlds Best Attic Fan". The Jet Fan is simple
and, using high-quality components, it can:
According
to studies by the Home Ventilation Institute homeowners may experience
up to a 30% savings on air conditioning costs with a powered attic
fan. ComEd indicates that air conditioners don't have to run as
often when it isn't fighting a hot attic.


Jet Fans
are built to survive high winds. They're all metal and rust proof
with stainless steel bolts that don't leave rust streaks down your
roof. The truly heavy-duty screen actually stops surprise attacks
from birds or squirrels trying to get into your attic. All the
Jet Fan components are American made. The Jet Fan electric motor
is quieter and is permanently lubricated, has thermal protection
for added safety, and has a capacitor for added life and efficiency.
An accurate snap action thermostat turns the Jet Fan on and off
automatically and a firestat shuts the fan off in the event of
a home fire. Higher quality parts are what makes the Jet Fan better
and maintenance free. Jet Fan's limited lifetime warranty, includes
labor and is pro-rated for ten (10) years with a discount for homeowners
for as long as they own their home if they ever need a replacement."
The Jet Fan
can also help when there is an unexplained humidity problem in
the attic. Humidity can cause frost and ice to accumulate on the
roof-framing members and eventually cause mold, mildew and rot
to damage your home's framing. An optional humidistat turns the
fan on and off regardless of temperature whenever the relative
humidity is too high in the attic.
Jet Fans
come in two different sizes. The model 727 Fan covers up to 2300
square feet of attic floor, and the model 747 up to 3200 square
feet. For efficiency, bigger is not necessarily better. Jet Fan
Installations will check your intake ventilation so your attic
ventilation system is balanced with maximum cross-flow through
the attic.
