🌬️🏠 How Many Air Exchanges Should Your Attic Have? Aim for 6+ per Hour

🌬️🏠 How Many Air Exchanges Should Your Attic Have? Aim for 6+ per Hour
Aim for six or more complete air exchanges per hour in your attic. Different vent types deliver different rates: ridge vents ~2 exchanges/hour, whirlybirds 3–4/hour, and powered fans (e.g., a 30 W fan) can reach about 6/hour; sometimes multiple fans are needed.
Reaching 6+ exchanges (roughly one full air replacement every six minutes) improves heat removal and helps reduce humidity and moisture problems common in humid climates like Houston.

🎙️ Are Solar Attic Fans Worth It? The Expert Answer from Adam Greer
Monday Nov 03, 2025
Monday Nov 03, 2025
On this episode of The Check A Pro Radio Show, Adam Greer from The Wise Attic joins the Check A Pro Radio Show to answer a simple question: are solar attic fans worth it? The short answer given is yes—most of the time.
They reduce HVAC load, extend shingle life, lower attic humidity, and increase air exchanges (aiming for six or more per hour). Being solar-powered, they run off the sun, work during outages, and often come with long warranties.
Listeners are encouraged to check the podcast description and The Wise Attic content on Google or YouTube for more details and installation guidance.

IS A HOT ATTIC REALLY A PROBLEM? Many wonder, “Is the temperature in my attic bad for my home?” In short, the answer is YES! An unventilated attic can reach 150 degrees in the heat of summer -- 50 degrees higher than it should be. An overheated attic can bake asphalt shingles on the roof and cause them to deteriorate. The wood framing your roof can also get warped from hot, humid air, possibly leading it to cave in. Mold and mildew can also set in, posing health risks. And it can cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and send your energy bills soaring with the temperature.
How hot is too hot? What is the best way to achieve cooler air in your attic, especially during summer? Tune in to our podcast to find out!
