How Much Does it Cost to Service an Attic Fan in Tallahassee?

The attic is one of the most neglected parts of the house. Many homeowners do not know that during the summer season, when the heat is scorching and uncomfortable, attic space can play a significant role on how the air conditioning will affect their homes. All because of one thing, the attic fan in Tallahassee. The attic fan serves as ventilation within the attic. Without it, the whole attic space can heat up to 170 degrees. As per law of thermodynamics, heat will always move towards cooler spaces or air, and because of that, it will find its way to move inside your living space where it is cooler, from the attic. Tallahassee attic fan can prevent this from happening by offering the trapped heat, a means to get out of the house and outside to the surroundings. Technically, the attic fan draws the cold air from the inside and forces the hot air outside, helping make your indoor environment more conducive. Modern Tallahassee attic fans have their own temperature sensors that will enable them to switch on and off automatically depending on the temperature of the attic.

It will be more cost effective if you install your attic fan in a place within your attic that already has a vent or opening. It will cost less than making a new opening that will most probably add to the expense of the installation. If electrical wirings and cables are already available in your attic, it will help decrease the cost. If none of these things are available, expect to pay for the materials like metal flashings, plywood, electrical accessories, and other necessary things, on top of the labor cost.

Tallahassee County Attic Fan FAQ

An attic fan is usually controlled by a humidistat or thermal switch. This switch will only allow your attic fan to operate if the temperature rises more than 90 degrees F. This feature will extend the attic fan's motor life and will reduce the loss of heat during winter. However, it will not let the fan reduce the buildup of moisture in the attic all the time and can't stop ice dams over winter.
Definitely. Many factors should be considered to determine the amount of ventilation that your attic needs. But technically, the more ventilation your attic has, the better. The more fresh air is brought into your attic, and as the turnover of air increases significantly, the temperature in your attic will begin to match that of the outside air temperature. That, in turn, will reduce the heat transfer within your home. More airflow in your attic will help increase the cooling performance of the attic fans.
No. You won't even hear the attic fans while they are running. The blades used in attic fans are usually designed for quieter operation.

Generator

Dave P. Tallahassee, FL

We have an older Onan 30 KW generator. It has worked well for years. We have had Ken West service it for years, but I can not find a listing for him at this time. In the most recent storm we had I woke up around 3:30 AM to find the house totally dark. I checked the panel and it was dark. The power was back on in the morning. I checked the generator indicators and it clearly had tried to start but the red lights were on that indicated it wasnt able to. I need to get the generator serviced and running again and I would like to know if Ken is still in business or not. Can you help us out?

Electrical Wiring or Panel Upgrade

Melanie R. Tallahassee, FL

We have one smoke detector (17 year old FIREX) on a hard wired circuit in our home that has gone bad. We cannot find the same model and have been told that a newer model will require replacing out all three units and having the circuit reset which we are not able to do ourselves. We are looking for someone to review our situation and make a proposal with cost estimate. I can be reached at the phone number given. Thank you.
