The quietcool afg pro 3 0 attic gable fan can help cool and ventilate your attic for just pennies an hour. Powered attic ventilators or attic fans just as they sound are designed explicitly for placing or installing in the attics. Attic fans are intended to cool hot attics by drawing in cooler outside air from attic vents soffit and gable and pushing hot air to the outside. Attic fans serve a different function removing the hot and moist air from the attic and leaving the space below the attic floor alone.

These fans circulate the air within the attic pulling fresh. Running at 250 watt and moving over 2860 cfm this fan uses less power than typical attic fans that move half the amount of cfm. Many are solar powered and require no other wiring so they don t cause any additional charges on your electricity bill at all. Gable fans fit into the gable vent and can be set to operate only within a preset temperature range.

However if your attic has blocked soffit vents and is not well sealed from the rest of the house attic fans will suck cool conditioned air up out of the house and into the attic. You must have a tight seal between your living space and your attic to get an energy efficiency boost. The afg pro 3 0 is possibly the most powerful residential attic fan on the market today.
