The thing that is great about solar attic fans is that they do not need to be wired into your house electricity. Instead, they get their energy from the rays of the sun. Besides being more environmentally friendly and having a practically zero carbon footprint (if you leave their manufacturing process out of the equation) a solar attic fan is a lot less expensive for you to run. When you also factor in the benefit that you do not have to pay to have an electrician wire this home cooling fan into your household electrical circult, the installation costs are much less.
For all of the above reasons, even though it may cost more to purchase a solar attic fan in the first place, once you have it, the expense of hooking it up and keeping it running over the years is much less.
We recently compared prices of some of the most popular brands of solar attic fans. We found an Aura model priced at around $200 as well as the Big Frog Mountain fan priced in the $340 range.
Depending on the size of the attic and how hot the climate is in your area, you may or may not want to buy one of the larger and more powerful fans to draw the hot air out of your attic for cooling your home during the hot summer months.
