Three Ways to Imporve Your Roof Ventilation
Proper roof ventilation is one of the most overlooked parts of a healthy home. Without it, heat, moisture, and poor airflow can damage your roof, shorten shingle life, and increase energy bills. The good news? With a few upgrades, you can greatly improve your home’s efficiency. Here are three simple ways to boost your ventilation from the experts at Affordable Roofing.
1. Add or Upgrade Ridge Vents
Ridge vents run along the peak of your roof and let hot air escape from the attic. If your home doesn’t have them, installing ridge vents can dramatically improve airflow. If you already do, it might be time to upgrade to more efficient vent designs.
2. Install Soffit Vents
Soffit vents are located under the eaves and allow cooler outside air to flow in, pushing warm, moist air out through ridge or roof vents. Without proper soffit ventilation, heat and humidity can build up and cause serious roof and attic damage.
3. Use Attic Fans or Solar-Powered Vents
In some cases, natural airflow isn’t enough. An attic fan or solar-powered vent actively pulls hot, humid air out of your attic, helping reduce cooling costs in the summer and preventing ice dams in the winter.
Why Ventilation Matters for Aurora & Chicagoland Homes
Our local climate swings from freezing winters to hot, humid summers. Without good ventilation, your roof is more vulnerable to mold, ice dams, and premature shingle wear. That’s why Affordable Roofing provides tailored ventilation solutions for Aurora homeowners.
