Attics are always hot in the summer, right? Not necessarily. As the weather begins to heat up, homeowners should consider how much hot air builds up in their attic. A well-ventilated attic is about 30?? F cooler than unventilated attics. By ventilating your attic, you can greatly reduce the amount of the heat that builds up in your house. A cooler attic leads to less energy being used to cool your home.
You should consult Cooling Your Home Naturally, a report prepared by the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse, if you are interested in finding out more ways to save money on electricity.
