Should You Repair or Replace Your Broken Attic Fan?

If your attic fan is broken, you should upgrade instead of repairing it! Post Hurricane Milton, many homeowners are finding themselves in need of attic fan repairs. While fixing an old, broken attic fan might seem like the quick solution, the reality is that repairing outdated attic fans can be costly, and often provides only a temporary fix. The smarter, more cost-effective choice is upgrading to a Solatube Solar-Powered Attic Fan– and we’ll explain why.

Solatube’s Solar Attic Fan can be installed alongside a broken attic fan- eliminating repair headaches. It also offers long-term money and energy savings thanks to its solar-powered motor, and is eligible for a 30% federal tax credit. 

So, if you’re thinking about repairing your broken attic fan, here’s why upgrading to a solar attic fan is the right decision for your home:

 

  1. Zero Operating Costs

Most traditional attic fans rely on electricity, contributing to higher energy bills. With Solatube’s Solar-Powered Attic Fan, you’ll enjoy continuous ventilation powered completely by the sun – no electricity costs, ever. This energy-efficient attic fan reduces heat buildup in your attic, giving your air conditioner a break and leading to significant savings on utility bills. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the environment!

 

  1. Eligible for a 30% Federal Tax Credit

Thinking of upgrading? Solatube’s Solar Attic Fans are eligible for the 30% federal solar tax credit, further reducing your upfront investment. By going solar, you’re not only improving your home’s efficiency but also taking advantage of valuable tax incentives.

 

Pro Tip: Consult with a tax professional for eligibility details and ensure you maximize your savings.

 

  1. Ventilation can Protect Your Home 

A hot attic isn’t just uncomfortable – intense heat build up can wreak havoc on your home’s structure. In fact, excess heat and moisture in the attic can lead to roof damage in the form of warped shingles and wood rot, mold and mildew growth, and reduced HVAC efficiency.  Solatube’s Solar Attic Fan combats these problems by continuously removing hot, humid air from your attic to reduce temperatures, protect your roof, and extend the lifespan of your home’s HVAC system.

 

  1. Durable, Maintenance-Free Design 

When your old attic fan fails, it can be more costly to repair than you may realize. From difficulty locating replacement parts to repair service fees, hidden costs can stack up. Solatube’s Solar Attic Fans are built to last. 

With a sleek, low-profile design and high-quality, weather-resistant materials, these solar powered attic fans are made to stand up to Florida’s intense weather, they’re quiet and efficient, and maintenance-free. Installing a solar attic ventilation fan, part of Solatube’s solar-powered lineup, ensures that you’ll have reliable attic ventilation for years to come.
