How we repair your Attic Fan
An attic fan is a roof or gable-mounted fan that pulls hot air out of the attic, controlled by a thermostat and sometimes a humidistat or solar panel. An attic fan is built around one or more fan motors, switches or controls, filters and ductwork. A technician tests the motor and capacitor, checks switches and controls, and inspects filters and ducts for blockages.
