FAQs

Q: What is the airflow of the fan?

A: The airflow varies based on sunlight. Because the fan is fully solar-powered, it automatically adjusts speed depending on the strength of the sun. Bright conditions produce stronger airflow, while cloudy conditions slow the fan naturally.

Q: Where do you ship?

A: We currently ship throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico.

Q: Is the fan waterproof?

A: The fan is water-resistant, designed for outdoor use when properly installed on a roof. We do not recommend exposing the motor shaft directly to heavy rain or standing water. Correct installation ensures long-term durability and performance.

Q: How do I receive the free thermostat?

A: After purchasing an eligible kit, contact us via our website, Amazon messaging (if purchased on Amazon), phone, or email with your order number. We will send your free thermostat after verifying the order.

Q: Will the fan help reduce attic heat?

A: Yes. The fan continuously removes hot, trapped air from your attic during daylight hours, helping to lower attic temperatures and reduce heat transfer into your living space.

Q: Does the fan help with moisture or humidity?

A: Yes. The fan helps remove humid air from your attic, reducing the risk of condensation, mold, mildew, and wood damage.

Q: What type of maintenance does the fan require?

A: Very little. The fan has a brushless motor and operates without wires, switches, or controllers. We recommend checking once per year to ensure the solar panel is clean and clear of debris.

Q: Can the fan run at night?

A: No. The fan operates only when sunlight is available. This is ideal because attic temperatures are highest during sunny periods.

Q: How do I know if my attic needs more than one fan?

A: The need for additional fans depends on attic size, roof shape, and climate. Larger attics or homes with multiple attic sections may benefit from multiple units for balanced airflow.

Q: Will installing a solar attic fan affect my roof warranty?

A: In most cases, properly installed attic fans do not void a roof warranty. The key is ensuring correct flashing and sealing. If you’re unsure, consult your roofing manufacturer or installer.

Q: Is professional installation required?

A: Many homeowners install the fan themselves using common tools. However, roofing or HVAC professionals can install it for you if you prefer.

Q: Can the solar panel be installed separately from the fan?

A: Yes. A remote mounting kit can be used if your roof requires a different panel angle or location for maximum sunlight exposure.

Q: Does the fan work in winter?

A: Yes. Even during winter, the fan helps remove moisture and reduce condensation buildup, protecting roof structures and insulation.

Q: Is the fan noisy?

A: No. The fan uses a high-efficiency brushless motor designed for quiet, smooth operation. Most homeowners report very low noise, even at full speed.
