Home Ventilation Services Katy, Texas

During the summer, when the sun is beating down on your roof, your attic will be the hottest area in your home. Without proper ventilation, the temperature in your attic will increase and create an additional heat load that will cause your HVAC system to work harder in order to cool your home. It is important to have sufficient insulation and venting in your attic. While on the topic of insulation, it is also important that your exterior walls are not under-insulated.

In addition to your attic and walls, windows and doors play a large role in proper ventilation. If your home is not sealed properly, cold air produced by your HVAC system will escape through cracks and leaks. In addition to cold air escaping, hot air will enter.

Vent fans are another way that your home expels hot air. Small vent fans are installed in kitchens and bathrooms because these areas frequently need active ventilation to exhaust air laden with smoke, odors and moisture from cooking and bathing.
