Winterize Roof Turbines

Somebody told me well you ll save money in the winter if you cover your turbines up tom.

Winterize roof turbines.

It is also a myth that turbine vents remove warm air from attic spaces in winter months. During winter months warm air rises into your attic. Roof turbines remove attic moisture and reduce the risk of costly roof damage. Roof turbines are great in summer.

Why do you need roof turbines. And in fact just so you know those spinning roof vents are probably not the best way to vent your roof. But suck warmth from your rooms in winter. Roof turbines not only work to remove hot air from summer attics they also provide ventilation to reduce moisture.

During summer months turbines eliminate hot. Never cover turbine with a bag. By covering the turbine in winter this effect is lost and moisture can quickly build up in the attic causing structural damage and increasing the chances of mold and mildew. Cuts turbine winter heat loss by 80.

Without proper ventilation the extra moisture in the heated air will cause wood rot mildew mold and exterior problems like ice dams. There are many types of vents that you may have on your roof including turbine soffit rafter and metal pot vents but you should not cover any of these roof vents during the winter. Well now you know. If the air temperature in your attic space is very warm while it is cold outdoors i maintain that you might have inadequate insulation and or you are up in your attic on a bright sunny day where the radiant energy of the sun is heating the attic space.

A roof fall is very dangerous.
