When deciding whether a gable fan is right for your attic, there are a few factors you should consider. First, is if there is enough space on the sides of your attic to install the soffit vents that are required.
Does your attic hold HVAC equipment? If so, it needs to be well-sealed and insulated for your gable fan to properly work. Otherwise, your fan could end up pulling cool air out of your living space, causing your HVAC to work harder than necessary.
Finally, is your attic insulated? If your attic is well insulated a gable fan may not be needed, and your attic could already be set up to control temperature and moisture. However, if your attic is not sufficiently insulated, a gable fan can work with your insulation to get the desired result.
How well your gable fan functions depends on how well it was installed. If yoru fan is not positioned properly or is placed in the wrong area, it may not generate enough ventilation in your attic to work at its best.
A gable fan must also be installed properly to maximize its energy efficiency. If your fan is not properly configured, you could end up paying more for your gable fan.
Unlike a whole-house fan, a gable fan is used in the concentrated, compact area of your attic to regulate a small amount of air. They are used to keep your attic cool and dry, whereas a whole-house fan is typically used in a drier climate and are mostly beneficial in the summer. Gable fans, on the other hand, are useful all year, as they can also be used to prevent ice damage from occurring in the middle of winter.
Roof-mounted fans are another popular choice for attics, but they are not the same as a gable fan. A roof-mounted fan is installed over a vent in the roof and covers less area than a gable fan. These help lower the temperature of the attic, but won’t keep your attic as cool as a gable fan.
