Attic ventilation questions
Does more venting always help?
No. Unbalanced vents can pull rain in. We balance intake and exhaust.
Will it lower my power bill?
A cooler attic means the AC works less; savings depend on your insulation and ducts.
Can you add it without a new roof?
Yes, ridge vents can be cut into most existing shingle roofs.
