Attic temperatures can easily become 30 to 50 degrees higher than the outside temperature. You may not realize that these extreme temperatures can be damaging to your home. - Extreme heat can deteriorate your wiring insulation and can cause the laminate on your plywood to peel off. - Keeping your attic cooler will drop the temperature of your home, saving you money and making life more comfortable - Reducing attic temperatures can prolong the life of your roof. The heat can bake your composition shingles into brittle chips. - Reducing the heat buildup protects possessions you may be storing in your attic. - Proper attic ventilation helps prevent fumes in your home from building up. Some water heaters have vents into the attic and may be leaking gases such as carbon monoxide - When you turn on the faucet, does your water run hot then cold? Your pipes may run through your attic and the sitting water is being steamed in the heat.
