Proper attic ventilation will turn even a home that is in pretty bad shape into one that can at least “breathe” easily and avoid taxing your HVAC system too much. Also, attic ventilation can prevent the spread of mold, so that even if there is some mold on your walls and ceilings, getting rid of it and improving your attic ventilation will prevent it from returning again.
To prevent your attic from being poorly ventilated, you have to check both the regular ducts that come from your HVAC unit and your roof ventilation ducts. Depending on whether your ventilation is electric, wind powered or static, you can take measures to improve it by cleaning the ducts, giving the electric system a maintenance check or calling in an expert to evaluate the situation at a deeper level. Attic ventilation should always be considered when installing a new roof. Experienced Centennial roofing company contractors are well aware of the importance of roof ventilation and can offer expert advice on the number and type of vents needed to keep your home in tip top shape.
In some cases, repairs might be needed, in which case it’s usually better to call in the pros earlier rather than later. If you try to clean the air ventilation ducts yourself, but the problem doesn’t go away, and no amount of work on the electric system seems to help, then you should immediately get on the phone with a trusted local contractor who can help you get the problem sorted out ASAP.
